But really, advertisement is probably the #1 thing that WoW modding needs. Not in the commercial marketing sense. We mostly just need to spread awareness. Some of us have already been reaching out to people from other communities, as well as telling our friends, but it's not enough. What would be really great is if folks like Reznik helped us out by spreading the word. Or if someone else with time and skills could do something similar.

Another thing people need is guidance. WoW modding is natural to us, but it's actually a really steep learning curve.

I want to mention that like everyone here is saying that we need to advertise WoW modding but i actually see nearly no posts from the good modding guys at the bigger private server forums where they show their stuff. They nearly always post it just here.
If you all really want to advertise modding, post all your stuff on AC-Web, ElitePvPers, OwnedCore, EmuDevs and co too. Advertise modding on modding only sites isn't really effective.

The real problem is that those Model Editing sections there are not popular. New content rarely appears there, so people don't look there too often. In my opinion, the best way to advertise is YouTube. Shows your works, link the site name in the videos. People come across those and get excited, they start reading more about modding. In order to drag their attention, one can make some non-modding related videos, for example some Legion Beta review. Just to drag more potential users to watch other things on the channel.

Thats exactly the point I wanted to reach. Forums have quite limited audience, even these "big" ones.

Well, that's particularly the reason why we are going with social media.

Milly:
I personally think Kaev is on the right track. Posting on Ac-Web and other larger websites might actually help. Yeah the modding scene is very tiny on those sites but that is the problem. Nobody posts there. But these sites are still filled with emulator folks who might want to learn more if they come across some really nice builds and so on.

Skarn:
The only problem is that people who tried posting there about Modcraft long ago got some warnings from local admins. Like you are not allowed to post external links there or something. I might be wrong but I think I remember something like that on AC-Web and maybe Emudevs, not sure.
