Hi Fiyero1988,
Welcome to CB, I presume you work/own/run T.E.A.L,
I checked out "The Backstage Life" it seems more based around
Pyro & Effects than CB, as CB has a policy on not giving out too much
pyro advice as if you tell a 12 year old how to make a
cannon, chances are he will make a
cannon. Damage will be done. So for that reason we limit the special effects talk.
The Backstage Life seems like it has a
bit to go, 7 posts and 3 members, maybe our webmaster might give you some help in ways to promote your special effects forum (Or is that helping the enemy Dave?), most CBers will never leave!
Make sure you use the search feature before posing anything, and try not to blatantly advertise too much, acceptable is if someone posts "I need so and so product" and you reply with "we sell so and so for this much" but don't start new threads saying "Breaking news we sell this product for this much!" you can read the CB
TOS here.
That said have fun here, keep logging on regularly and you will learn heaps.
Nick
