The Forum is, undoubtedly, too small. Look at us. When I think of active members I come up with just a small handful off the top of my head. Qwerty, Fox, Veers, TSL, Vanconcovat, Randomness, and myself are the only people who readily come to mind. We need more members. The question is, how do we get them? Surprisingly, I am apposed to the only viable solution that has been put forth. That suggestion is to (somehow) get a permalink to the Forum on the Dan-Ball site. Why do I not like this? For one, look at all of the PG uploads. Do you like all of them? Are they all good? The answer is no. Most of the people playing the Powder Game are not people we want here. We would get a flood of temporary members (members that don't stay very long) who don't know what this site is all about. No thread would be sacred, they would just fill up with garbage posts like "LOL what is this about, I don't get it". But, we do need new members (valuable members). So post your solutions here. After there are a sufficient number of plausible courses of action I will create a series of debates in the debate board (the permalink will be debated). The final conclusion will be submitted to Listo, and Listo can make the final judgment, Listo can also take the appropriate action, and bring life to this Forum.

HEY! I am very active! Hmm... I'll suggest the cliched, unoriginal idea. Advertise! It doesn't even have to be on the Dan-Ball site! Just go and tell your friends, online or not, to come here! If we advertised more, and not exclusively on the Comment Boards, we would be practically booming with activity!

You will need to be more specific. A well formed debate includes strictly defined terms. How will we advertise?
I have an idea... How about we upload clever little puzzles on PG, once people complete them the puzzle will give them the URL to the Forum. We could make a laser puzzle, when the person figures out the logic of the puzzle they could enter in a laser sequence which would cause a block of glass to light up which says the URL of this site. That way we would only get people who were A. Interested in viewing uploads and B. Clever enough to figure out the puzzle. How about that? I could make the puzzle. - Micro Farad

No, we have to stick with the affiliate link. We're the Official Dan-Ball Forums, we can't just keep this place to ourselves and away from the others of Dan-Ball. We're obligated, that is, if Ha55ii hasn't forgotten about us. I'm still trying to get a good Japanese translation, the manga forum I went on became dead all of a sudden. There was a Japanese speaking member I recently saw on chat, but then I had to leave, and that person hasn't come back yet.

Farad, pointless. We need members.
Anyway, why is EVERYONE making these threads? Can't we just make ONE and stick with it? Oh, and put it in the proper board?
Qwertymoved
Oh, and it's Ha55ii that makes the final decision, not Listo.

I didn't know EVERYONE was making these threads. And could you please move this back where it belongs???

It's a thread about the site. As such it belongs in "About the Site".
Also, an official thread for this sort of thing has been made, so kindly post about it there. It's called "What do YOU want?"

A. What do you want is too broad. B. This will be culminating in a debate, and must be kept separate. C. About the site has an informative connotation; this is not information about the site. D. This will have not have any impact on the site's structure. E. Please, move this thread back and let it exist, it has a unique purpose.

Sorry, but this IS just a repeat of many other threads.

If you hate it so much just delete it and leave me alone.

It's not that I hate the thread. It's that it belongs in this board.

I really hate to post off-topic, but since another high staff member apparently has to concur...
I must agree that this thread is more readily classified as a suggestion for the site, and it is definitely "about the site," so this thread goes where QwertyuiopThePie put it.

Fine, just delete this thread or something, please. It seems to be a big nuisance, I'm sorry. I was wrong.

They? I see a thread.
Anyway, THIS thread is reasonable and polite. The old one was rather rude, nasty, brutish, and short.
