Hey, I was here a while ago but I left because it was too inactive, then not too long ago I tried to come back but i didn't have the link. it wasn't till today that I realized that all had to do was Google the name of the site and I'd probably get some page on here and I'd be able to get back. Anywho, I can see you're struggling a bit here so I'll stick around and see what I can do to help you guys. First of all, you might consider creating a Zeta board etc. as they're much better. Secondly as someone already suggested, a list of all active members so we can evaluate if it's worth adding clans etc. Thirdly, scout around other sites and advertise, get new members in instead of clinging to old ones who clearly aren't going to stay. And lastly, have events. Graphics competitions, wifi tournaments with prizes, all that kinda stuff. Just a few suggestions to help this site get better. James i think the ball is officially rolling! this is good. thank you , James. more than anything im glad to see new members contributing -=warriorgaz19=-

It's so great to see so many old members here today. And its good to know that when I need help there are people who have my back.
James, I like your ideas, and the event things I would like to do when things settle down again. But one thing that has been made clear by another admin (one with more power than me) is that we are not going to move from proboards. What would be awesome is if someone knew how to make affilate icons, and go around and affilate with other boards. I have a list of boards I would like to affilate with, but I have know idea have. If there is someone who is willing to do that for me, I could give you the list. Thanks.
-Benny ;D

I honestly am not sure.
We had an offer, but the admin said that they did not want to move. I'll try to find out more in the mean time though

i think one of the reasons would be the fact that we would be starting afresh if we moved , rather than try to keep what we already have.
plus ther is so much already on here , it would be a shame to lose it all.

Definetly changing the site would be a bad idea in my opinion. Maybe redoing the forum, like organizing it differently, or making it a bit more appealing, but that's all.

To tell you the truth. I actually have exp. with forums, and making skins. But I do think it is a very bad idea too change the site completely. but like Flygon99 said it is a good idea to change the site, By organizing things.
(for Benny) You are right benny it is great to have many of the old members back on.

Well I'll tell you this right now. I have been debating whether to just cut our losses and give up, try to revamp this forum, or to start fresh and move to another site.
In my opinion, revamping this forum would be the same as starting fresh. There isnt that much that I know how to do on here that I already have done, and therefore I guess it brings us down to two options.
Cutting our losses seems to be what I want to do personally, but as most of the long time users know, I am way to caring for that lolz. I'd rather keep the board open for any users that have made friends here, or come here to hang out. The main reason why I keep trying is because of the users. So I think starting fresh is the best way to go.
My grandpa died recently, so I am at his house for the next few days, where I once again have highspeed internet once again. I will look into a new home for us, as well as I'll try and do a bit more uploading. Thats about all I can do for now.
I will see what I can do.
Oh and James, as for your idea for advertising... It might not be a bad idea. I did not want any advertising done originally, mainly because of copyright fears that killed us in the end. As for now, since we are not hosting the videos on our own server, then I think advertising would be a good idea. In the end, I will see what I can do lolz

Well, I see where your coming from gurlbot, for advertising, I've just re-opened my Pokemon Roleplaying site so I might mention you guys over there once we get active (if you want to take a look at the site, click my sig) But yeah, if you're going to a new type of forum I would strongly reccomend IF or Zetaboards.

Relocating on your terms is fine with me. Whether we redo this site or go to a different type of forum site makes no difference to me.
