Okay, sure. =) Well, one thing I'd suggest you doing (this is what I did and it worked out nicely for me when I ran a forum) is send out a mass e-mail telling everyone to come back. It actually works, some people will have just forgotten about this forum and will come back. And I'll make threads here in the General Discussion Section for people to post in. And I'll also post some ads for you on a few of the General Discussion forums I'm a member of. I've tried sending e-mails out before and it worked for like a week before it died again. I'll send one out today though and see what we get from it. Thanks.

I'll try at least. By the way, I am wondering, do you have a Proboards Support thread that you bump once a day? Those help forums a lot with getting new members and if you don't, I can make one and say I got permission to bump it every day by the admin for him and do it for you. I don't mind. I like this place a lot and I want to do anything I can to help it be active.

I have a thread in GOAYB and YB:A. I try to bump them regularly but I sometimes forget. No-one other than me posts in them though really apart from me bumping.

Well, I am going to post in the GOAYB board for you on your thread, but the Advertising board, I can't bump because only the creator's of the threads can bump them or that's how I understand the rules there otherwise I'd put it on my favorites and bump it every day.

I haven't said it already, but hey Elizabeth. ^__^ I'm Eilidh, my advice? Hmm, don't piss off Whiteshadow. Welcome!

Elizabeth - That was the idea. Eilidh - Whiteshadow tends to get pissed off and overreact about absolutely everything. It's very hard not to piss him off at least once in your forum life. Hell, I've pissed him off enough times.

The forum would have died completely without you.

It would be a real shame if that happened because I think the idea for this forum is really awesome.
