Well it was 2003, the forum had been working for almost 2 whole years, but we needed more people, it was the same 26 folks all the time, Milanmania was beating us in terms of active Milan forums and number of hits, and so did xtratime, both were more established so I needed a new strategy.
There were guys and girls, but I noticed there weren't many latinos in here. So I thought it would look bad in the forum if it had no latinos...I thought to myself, what more exotic, inclusive and provocative than a young female latina from a small country like Costa Rica? No one would actually trace it, I'm a computer geek after all, so I know how to change my IP.
Since that young female joined our forum, we have had a significant increase in members, specially male members (while we lost the active core of female memebers that we used to have) our forum became the most popular forum of all Milan forums. My only issue as c4m is the excessive amount guys flirting with her, since she's a Milan fan version of Sofía Vergara, but it's all well worth in order to be known as a very inclusive forum...
To make our forum even more inclusive, I also created accounts passing as a Manchester United fan, Chelsea fan, Manchester City fan, an Inter fan, a Juventus fan, a Roma fan (who lost his popularity around 07'), a Real Madrid fan, a Barca fan, Aston Villa fan, Aberdeen fan, Sydney FC fan, etc. This are the type of strategies I make to bring on more people and keep this place a little more active.
