Hello MHB,
If you administrate other sites, here is a neat way to actively promote MHB there by placing a brightly colored box at the bottom of each page that contains a promotional message with a link to MHB, which forces the opening of a new tab so your users do not leave your site when clicking this link.
I administrate a freely hosted phpBB board, and so there is no access to the template files, however, under "Board Configuration" there is an option for "footer code" and into this I placed the following code at the top (above the other scripts you may have there):
I also administrate a privately hosted phpBB board, and so in the overall_footer.html template file, I placed the code (shown in red):
Now, on a vBulletin board, you can put the code:
In the footer template, at the very top.
This code can easily be edited to suit your tastes for colors, border, margins, etc.
This is what it looks like at the first site I mentioned:
