How to make this forum more lively

Pretty self-explanatory. How are we going to keep this forum
from dying out before it's even grown? We need more people. I've
already invited, like, the three people I think might play, and
I assume everypony else has as well. But, as we can all see,
that's clearly not working. How are we going to draw in more of
a crowd? What do we have going for us, what makes us better then
other RP sites, and what problems do we need to fix? I've got
answers of my own, but I want to hear everypony's thoughts.

I could get in touch with my old friends from Cloudsdale, they
might be able to spread the word. If the site was still up, I
would promote there, but sadly CD has been shut down since
January.

I don't know anyone else besides Choc that a bronies, perhaps
put a call on EQD? Make art an other stuff for the website and
hope it gets put on EQD. I can't ask anyone personally as I have
no friends that are bronies besides Choc. Other than EQD, I
don't know many other places where we can get attention. Maybe
if we got a famous brony on the site though...

Hello everyone! It's good to be here and to see a lot of
potential in this site. Now of course we need more OCs and
people to attend so recruitment is a priority. In the meantime
we should work with what we have in terms of members by creating
and continuing threads that introduces everyone so that there's
some familiarity with each other. When enough relationships are
established, we could start a basic mini arc with who is
available. This will continue traffic to the site and also show
new members that there's stuff going on. I myself am gonna
finish my OCs bio then get an intro thread going. If anyone has
arc ideas please say so, never too early to plan it out.

I agree with you, mostly. But I think you're over-estimating the
number of players we have, I don't think we have enough people
to get much of anything going yet. Let's put it this way. I'll
call you active, since you seem to be. That means that we have
nine active members. Two are admins, so let's take those out.
That leaves seven. Seven's a reasonable amount, if it weren't
for the fact that 3 of those are me, and there's no way I can
use all three in one arc and keep up. That's means we can manage
five, at best. That's assuming everyone who can play will play.
I just don't think that's enough. I think we need to prioritize
getting new members, then worry about playing among ourselves.

The funny thing is, this place WAS on EQD. That's why I'm here.
I'm one of three...? Members who join because of that. For
whatever reason, it didn't help, like, at all. We can try again,
but I'm just not sure. I can probably make up an ad/banner for
this place to send it along with info, but I'd need an admin's
approval first. As far as famous bronies go, I used to have some
connections, but it's been so long that they're probably a dead
end.

Those are pretty fair points, but I gotta ask, who are the other
two that you are playing? I know Octavia, but who else? Just so
we're all on the same page.
EDIT: Could we also mention about the RP site in the comment
section? Not just post it on EQD?

Comment section? I'm not sure what you mean. I'm also playing
Solar Flare in the Crystal Empire and Lunar Bloom in Ponyville.

Also thanks for clarifying

Sorry for the latish reply. If you want to submit this site on
EQD thats fine. I already did once, but hey if Octavia can make
something and help us that isn't spamming places like comment
sections go for it. As I said, refrain from posting this in the
comments areas. Some people get annoyed and it also could lead
dumb trolls here to mess with the site.

Sorry, yes, I was going to say something about the comments
idea. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.
