UG brought it to my attention this place isn't what it used to be and I seriously agree. What it used to be/have - Pokemon-centered
- Friendly and open
- A wide array of people active
- Forum-wide plots
What it is now - Breeding center for humans
- Three active members
- Friendly but closed to new members
This place has basically done a complete 180 degree transformation in a year. This place might end up another PF if we continue the way we're going. Ideas to get this place back to what it used to be - Build Team Phantom back up
- Advertise and advertise some more
This is an extremely serious issue if we want this place to survive. I don't want this place to die anymore than you guys do. ANY suggestions other than restarting are welcome. Let's put our heads together and think. |

I've tried advertising pretty much everywhere I can think of, including the real world, but it's yielded me no results. I'm sorry I can't be of use in this situation.

I can talk to some Pokemon fanatics on dA and at school. I was talking to some of my friends about it before school let out and they seemed interested.

I'll go ahead and see what I can do with my connections as leader of Skwisgarr village on Billy vs. SNAKEMAN. Can't guarentee anything though.

I'm taking a risk of losing villagers in Skwisgarr and/or only managing to recruit a bunch of inactive accounts, but I've taken away everyone's priviledge to take permanent items from the storehouse(big thing, mind you). They get them back each day they're active here. I've done all I can.

Okay. I sent out a mass email to tell people to start getting active. There are also plenty of other forums out there we can advertise on thus the point of the advertising/affiliating boards.

Go for it. Also, I'm thinking maybe to revise the rules a bit with the help of everyone.

Also going to finish that animated affiliate button. A good affiliate button catches people's eyes and it might interest them.

I'll try at Erymire, since I'm the only one here who has an account there

I'm going to offer normal story format now. A lot of people seem to not like the script-format.

So, people can post both ways now?

Yep.

Sounds cool. It'll be easier to do contests.

Sure will be.

Yep. I also noticed a few spots where it was impossible to describe some things with what was going on in the character's mind.

Yeah.

I really think we should also do the rule revamp thing. The rules are somewhat messy at the moment.

True.

We should have a rue telling members that they have to be on for a few hours a day a few days a week.

I made a thread in the Suggestions board for that.

My attempts to get help on PD and Erymire both fell through. PD, Ninetails009 is very inactive herself and Erymire, other than affiliating, advertising is strictly forbidden.
