Some members here are giving me conflicting messages. People have been going on and on about how we need to milk this potential FFXIV community, to get as many people to join EoFF as possible with all sorts of FFXIV stuff, but if you have a random clan name that has nothing to do with EoFF and you don't want to go around saying "HEY JOIN EYESONFF.COM LOL" or something then basically we won't be getting any members. And I don't want to do the latter of those two things.
People out there will be looking for two kinds of sites. The first will be FFXIV dedicated sites, which we are not and even if we tried to be we'd not compete, and the second will be for clan/guild/LS/whatever sites. If we have, say, 50 people on the server all with our Linkshell or Company name of "Eyeson" then people will look into that, especially if they join. If we have, say, 50 people on the server all with our Linkshell or Company name of "[othername]" then people won't find our website because it won't rank highly and when they see the name of the website, it won't register with them that "Eyes on Final Fantasy" would actually be the home of our group.
So if we're already giving up on getting loads of members to EoFF then that's cool, but you can give up on promoting EoFF in any way.
