Have you tried "relaxing" / marketing on "adult" (not "porn") games like Second Life, or maybe World of Warcraft, or who knows what the cool thing is these days? Lots of people in their 30s and even 40s, just create a character called "Try Pikluk.com Free!" and walk around.

That way you get to "play" while actually marketing, which is work.

Oops, I accidentally upvoted you, which forces me to be annoying and reply with "-1".

Do not do this. It's spam. It's unethical. And on top of that, it won't even fucking work.

Invest your time in creating a product that people will seek out. If you can create such a product, there would be no need to do what you're talking about. If you can't, then even if you do, nobody will care anyway. You'll only drain your karma trying.

What the hell are you blabbering about? First of all I don't need any moral directions from strangers on the net. Second of all, your directions are so confusing I don't even think you know what you're talking about. What is spam? Mentioning this as a way to market is spamming the games? Or do you think I work for Blizzard or Linden Labs and I'm spamming Hacker news because nobody likes lame products like WoW or Second Life?

Only drain your karma trying? WTF are you talking about? If I go to a Halo server as a player called "CheckOutMySite.com" my Karma gets drained? In real life (assuming I believe in that stuff)? In Hacker News? How would PG know what I'm up to on Halo servers?

Seriously try thinking a bit more clearly before you go about lecturing me, thanks in advance.
