Recruitment Landing Page
#1

I've had this thought multiple times before when thinking about recruiting people for the SHL: Where exactly should I direct potential new recruits, like which URL? Just the general boards at https://simulationhockey.com? The Discord? Something else, like the Index? I haven't really found an answer yet, maybe I missed something so far and if so, please let me know where you try to direct in your recruitment postings.

In either case, my suggestion would be to design a dedicated landing page that we can use to direct people to in our recruitment posts. Something that looks nice, has some short an concise information about the league, links to a few but not too many relevant places and does NOT just look like some forum thread from 2010. The role of this site wouldn't be to be an in-depth rookie guide or anything of the sorts, but just something that gives people a good first impression and makes them hungry for more when they click on a link to the SHL for the very first time. And as I said, the main purpose I would see for this would be that it is the place that we link people to when we make recruitment posts.

I'll have you know, 2010 was a very good year!  Tongue

But seriously, your point is well taken. An all-encompassing landing page strikes me as a good idea.  Cool

The default has always been to link to the home page of the league’s site. A discord invite to the main server or even the rookie server if you have access also helps. If you’re reading this and you’d like to help the recruitment team/dev team figure out something more appropriate, I’ll be happy to help make the connection.

By "home page" you just mean https://simulationhockey.com/index.php, right?

Sure, it’s effectively the same as https://simulationhockey.com/

Okay. I don't mind that page for our general day-to-day navigational purposes but as a landing page for people completely unfamiliar with the league, I don't think it's particularly great and we could do a lot better with relatively little extra effort.

Personally I would link https://simulationhockey.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=20 maybe with an additional 'step 0' type post called START HERE. Then it allows you to drastically change your advertising messages to be more concise and tailored to that community on the fly, while having a set in stone explanation of the league right away. To me the long wall of text advertisements get intense. Along with this always remember how many people have no clue how a forum works. I feel like you want that first link to be THE link that has everything boom right in front of you.

Also remember the video is out of date now, doubt anyone has checked since I last did. Might only be the stamina change (for making a build) but I'm not sure off hand
