Spark Promotion

It’s supposed to be for buying things—profile designs, or something like that—but I don’t see a shop anywhere to actually buy anything. So, what are they for? I have 557 Sparkcoins; am I a millionaire? 😂

These view poorly in the light version of the theme, they do look good on the dark version though.


something like this for the light version may look better if that’s what people are using for their system/prefer light themes.

This is becoming a theme for me! 🤣

The ‘Catch up’ button needs a different text color.

Maybe it’s just me, but the text inside quotes, especially when you “reply” to a quote, is barely readable.

Big news! Mogwai Mayhem, a phpBB forum I ran around 7–8 months ago, has officially merged into Spark Promotion!

The merger has brought over just under 1,500 posts, 300 topics, and a few user accounts.

What does this mean for members?

• Existing Spark Promotion members: Your posts should have merged automatically into your existing account, and your login details remain unchanged.

• Former Mogwai Mayhem members: If you weren't already a member of Spark Promotion, an account has been created for you. Your password should be the same as the one you used on Mogwai Mayhem.

If you experience any trouble logging in or notice any issues with your account, please get in touch with the Spark Promotion team for assistance.

Welcome to our former Mogwai Mayhem members, and thanks for being part of the community! 🚀

Spark Promotion is getting closer to the big 10,000-post milestone, and we're only 2,000 posts away! 🚀

It's exciting to see the community growing, and every topic and reply brings us one step closer to hitting this goal.

Let's keep the conversations going, support our fellow members, and get those sparks flying! 🔥

Who's excited to see Spark Promotion hit 10,000 posts? 🥳

Hello! I noticed the yellow buttons on the club section are the same color as the text, so are unreadable unless you hover and then it’s only a little bit better.

It's official! Spark Promotion has reached 100 members! 🎉🔥

When I started Spark Promotion, I wanted to create a place where forum owners could promote their communities, discover new forums, and connect with other admins. It's great to see us reach this milestone!

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined, participated, used our promotion services, or helped spread the word. Every member helps us grow, and I really appreciate the support!

🎁 A Special Gift From the Spark Promotion Team!

To celebrate reaching 100 members, we're giving something back to our community!

One lucky person who replies to this topic will win a 50-post package completed by the Spark Promotion staff! 🎉

All you need to do is reply to this thread to be in with a chance of winning. We'll pick one lucky winner from the replies!

We're still growing, and there's plenty more to come. Here's to reaching our next milestone and helping even more communities get noticed! 🚀

Let's keep the momentum going and get Spark Promotion to 200 members! ☕💥

Thanks for being part of the Spark Promotion community. Here's to the next milestone! ❤️

We're excited to introduce Forum Clubs at Spark Promotion! 🎉

Forum Clubs give you a dedicated space to bring your community together and share everything related to your forum, website, blog, or other online community.

🔗 Explore Forum Clubs: https://sparkpromotion.net/clubs

🌟 What can you do with a club?

• Create your own space: Each club comes with its own discussion forum where you can chat about your community, share your favourite topics, celebrate milestones, run contests, and much more.

• Choose your visibility: You have four options to choose from: Public, Open, Closed, or Private, allowing you to decide how people can access your club.

• Invite members: Invite members of Spark Promotion to join and participate in your club.

• Make it your own: Set up a custom tagline, description, rules, welcome message, club icon, and cover image to give your club its own identity.

💡 Completely free to use!

Creating and using clubs is absolutely free for all members, and you can create as many clubs as you like! However, we ask that you create only one club per community to keep things organised.

🚀 Ready to create your club?

Head over to the club creation page to get started:

👉 https://sparkpromotion.net/clubs/manage/create

Please note that your club icon and cover image must each be no larger than 2,048 KB.

👀 Check out our example clubs!

I've already created two public clubs so you can see how the feature works:

🎬 PopFuse Club: https://sparkpromotion.net/clubs/popfuse-club

📺 Bingely Club: https://sparkpromotion.net/clubs/bingely-club

Feel free to check them out for inspiration!

✅ A quick note about approval

All clubs must be approved by the Spark Promotion team before they appear on the clubs page.

We hope you enjoy this new feature and look forward to seeing the clubs you create! Whether you're celebrating your community's achievements, discussing your favourite topics, or running fun activities, Forum Clubs are a great way to bring people together.

Have fun creating your own little corner of Spark Promotion! ✨

Not sure if one for @Cedric or one for you @Gizmo Borden but when viewing a forum in Clubs, the breadcrumbs show “Home - The Main Event”. There’s no way to get back to club homepage as “Home” takes you to root. It needs to be Home - Club Name - Forum Name

We have some incredible news to share - Spark Promotion has officially reached 5,000 posts! 🎉🔥

This milestone would not have been possible without our amazing community members. Whether you’ve been sharing your community projects, offering promotional tips, participating in our seasonal events, or helping keep the discussions alive, thank you! You are the true spark behind this forum.

🌟 Milestone Highlights

• 5,000 Posts & Growing - Countless community showcases, promotional threads, and engaging discussions!

• A Thriving Community - Thank you to all our members who continuously support and uplift each other's websites and forums.

• Halloween Celebrations - Between our active contests, Halloween theme, and community events, October is shaping up to be our most active month yet!

👻 Keep the Momentum Going!

As we continue to grow, we want to hear from you:

1. What has been your favorite thread or event on Spark Promotion so far?

2. What features would you like to see next?

Let’s keep spreading the magic and helping communities everywhere get the spark they deserve! ✨

Gizmo is very happy! 🥹❤️

Spark Promotion has officially reached 3,000 posts! Wow! That is a lot of posts, friends!

Gizmo wants to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted, chatted, promoted their communities, and helped Spark Promotion grow. Gizmo is very proud! 🥰

Of course, Gizmo has a few very important rules for celebrating:

💧 Please do not get Gizmo wet! ☀️ Keep Gizmo away from bright lights! 🌙 And whatever you do... do not feed Gizmo after midnight!

If everyone follows the rules, Gizmo can keep celebrating! 😂

I came to play in the Arcade and I don’t see it anymore. Is it gone?

Maybe one for Cedric but there is what I guess was a spam post deleted but it still shows on forum index under last post info for that forum.

We’re pleased to announce that @Midnight Gremlin has been promoted from Moderator to Administrator! 🎉

We’re excited to announce that HocusPocus has officially been promoted from Trial Moderator to Moderator here at Spark Promotion! 🎉✨

Welcome officially to the team! 💜

Not sure if this is purposeful or just a bug, and I’m not even sure if this is the correct place to mention this, but….

I clicked on a notification I have, and got the attached image. I’m guessing that the original post was deleted, because I can’t reproduce it.

We’re excited to announce that Postloop has been selected as Spark Promotion’s Community of the Month for October! 🌟

🌐 https://www.postloop.net

🏆 Congratulations, @Resting Witch Face and @Cedric 🎉
A huge congratulations to the people behind Postloop and thank you for being part of the Spark Promotion community!

Each month, our staff choose a community that stands out to us. If you’d like your community to be considered for a future COTM feature, there are a couple of simple ways to get noticed:

📢 Advertise your community on Spark Promotion — Let our members know about your forum, website, or community.

💬 Contribute meaningfully — Get involved in discussions and post quality content. You don’t need to constantly promote your site; simply being an active, positive member of the community can make a difference.

There’s no formal nomination process — COTM is selected by the Spark Promotion staff based on the communities and members we see participating around the forum.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💻 WEBMASTER CORNER

Spark Promotion isn't just about advertising.

It's also a place for webmasters to talk about the things involved in running an online community.

Topics include:

🌐 Websites
💻 Forum administration
🔎 SEO
📝 Blogging
🎨 Web design
🚀 Community growth
🖥️ Hosting
📱 Social media

Running a community can involve a lot of trial and error.

Sharing ideas, asking questions and learning from other webmasters can make the journey a little easier.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 WEBMASTER TIP OF THE MONTH

Don't just advertise — participate.

One of the easiest ways to make your community memorable is to actually become part of other communities.

Join discussions. Answer questions. Share your experience. Congratulate someone on their milestone.

People are much more likely to remember a community when they recognise the person behind the website.

Build relationships, not just backlinks.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🖼️ WALLPAPERS & COMMUNITY EXTRAS

Looking for something a little different?

Keep an eye on our Wallpapers and community extras for new additions and promotional goodies.

We're always looking at ways to make Spark Promotion more than just another promotion forum.

📊 SPARK PROMOTION STATISTICS

Here's how Spark Promotion is looking as we head toward the end of September:

🔥 2,368 Posts
💬 483 Topics
👥 69 Members

Every new member, topic and post helps the community grow — so thank you to everyone who has participated this month!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌐 DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW

One of the best things about running an online community is discovering what other people are building.

From gaming communities and entertainment forums to webmaster projects, blogs and completely unique ideas, there's a huge variety of communities out there.

That's one of the reasons we created features such as Community of the Month and Site Spotlight.

They're designed to help shine a light on projects that deserve to be discovered.
