Recruitment Drive?


So the forum is dying.
I mean, it's not DYING, dying.
It's dying slowly, but it's still dying.

Sometimes, we barely get a few posts in a day, and that kind of bugs me.

Now, I'm not saying that I want a MILLION people on this site... I don't want dozens of people that I don't know taking over our forum.
But a few extra people would be nice, you know?

So, to solve this problem... to make sure that the forum continues, I think we should try to recruit. Again.
And yes, I actually want you guys to try things this time.
Sam, you did a great job making sure that people actually STAYED when I was gone, but little was actually done to increase the number of people.

In order for this to work, I think we should re-recruit old people as well as ask anyone that we know from other sites (or maybe real life?) if they might be interested.

I've already started contacting some of our older members, like Robert, so I'll handle all of that.
Yes, I'm even going to try to contact Eric, who I didn't really treat very fairly when both of us were around.

pdub, I know that you hang out with Arthur/proud/whatever in real life... Could you ask him if he could come back?
I know he and I had some differences... but I'll control my bitchiness level this time.

I don't have any contacts outside of this site, so I won't be much help in recruiting any new people...

I asked some of my friends, and they all said, "No"... and called the whole roleplaying thing nerdy and childish. -_-;

If anyone has a presence on the marvel.com forums (I know Nathain used to), that would be great, too.

Sent out e-mails to Eric and Robert.

Tried to send one out to marvel dude 55, but it got rejected.
His e-mail account was shut down or something...
Anyone know another way to contact him?
I doubt you do, but it doesn't hurt to ask...

Haven't been able to get in touch with him.  His number changed and all that so I dunno.
