Do you refer friends to Advicenators? How can I?
This is pure curiosity really, but how many Advicenators out there have recommended their friends to come to this website for advice? How did you go about doing that?
I think it would be neat to have my friends on Advicenators too so we could talk about some of the questions we saw and what we think about them. I mean, I don't plan on telling them which questions are mine, but it would be super neat to be sitting at the lunchroom and be able to say, "Yeah, did you see that one Advicenator question about... hahaha!" I am cool with them looking at my advice column so I'd tell them my name, of course, but I would probably keep my questions to myself.
What is the best approach on having a friend come to this website though? Should I just go up to my best friend and say, "Hey, I found this cool website, will you join it with me?" or what? I don't want to sound stupid but I really do want my friends to sign up!
Any advice on how to get my friends to become Advicenators too? Please and thank you!

Find an interesting question and start discussing it with your friends. Making Advicenators-related jokes might work too. For example, if anyone makes a reference to "cherry popping", make sure to say something along the lines of "There is no fruit salad in your crotch!". (Apologies to the person who originally said that.)
Linking to Advicenators from other sites is also a good idea. For example, if you're on Facebook, status messages such as "is an Advicenator" would be cool. I always mention on Facebook if I'm the featured columnist of the day, or if it's my anniversary.
If you don't mind spending some money, an Advicenators t-shirt (or other merchandise) would certainly get attention too. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

UPDATE:
I just told my college roommate about the site. I told her how discovered it, how I became a level 1 moderator, how I became a level 2 moderator, and how it was created, etc.
It's not difficult at all. I was answering a question and asking her opinion on it, then I explained the site.

There are tons of ways!
Do you have AOL Instant Messenger? (Or any other messenger that allows you a buddy profile?)
You can put the link to your column there. I did that a few years back and a lot of my friends were interested and checked it out.
Do you have a facebook? You can write a note about the site, how you feel about it, why you think your friends should join.
Do you have a myspace? Do the same thing except with a bulletin.
Also, if you have a myspace, so does Advicenators!

We also have a facebook group: You know you've been on advicenators too long when...
You can mention it in passing, though...
My freshman year of high school, I showed the site to my best friend, my sister, and her two best friends. Each of them made a column here, too. None of them still use their columns (to my knowledge) and didn't last anywhere near as long as myself (since I've been here over 4 years), but it's worth just telling them.
I was on the website with each of them in the room and showed them how it worked... that's how they discovered it with me.
I found the site through a friend's buddy profile. She doesn't use the site anymore, either, but that's how I found it...
