Normally I would discuss this with the officers, but seeing as I'm the only one and as there are only about 4 or 5 active members, I think this is the best place to discuss how we are going to revive GoM since that seems to be what everyone wants to do.
Here are some topics I want to bring up.
1. Members: What should we do with all the inactive members? What I mean is should we make old members rejoin to get their names back on the member lists in the barracks, or should we just put everyone's name up no matter what the activity level? Other suggestions?
2. Advertising: This is the biggest thing. We might not need to do this immediately, but at some point when the site is starting to gain momentum, we'll need to look into new places to put the name out there. I'm going to send out a mass email to all the members so they know the site's not dead yet.
3. The new quest: Rinafera, it looks like you have some good ideas so I'm putting you in charge of making the thread. I don't have enough time to do it myself.
4... I'll add more topics as we go along, but I think that's enough to worry about for now.
So, what are your thoughts?

Here are my thoughts on the member issue. I think it'd be better for people to have to rejoin. Now, I don't mean sign up again for an account for the site. I mean just post with their character's description again. It would show that they were being active. Also, a long list of members in the barracks really does us no good if ninty percent of them are no longer around.

Score.  And Nadia's back, too, so even bigger score.  1. Members shouldn't have to re-join, only the ones who weren't active a couple months ago. Marie, Crystal, Secharix, Elaine, etc. shouldn't have to re-join, but others should. Just my opinion. 2. I can help with that, btw. I should have time and I like advertising. This site should be active like... hotcakes. (It's a wierd analogy. I've never purchased hotcakes, and I don't know anyone who's bought hotcakes, and I don't /intend/ on buying hotcakes anytime soon. Shouldn't it be sold like... Fruity Pebbles? lol.) |

Or what we could have them do is just post on their original joining thread to say that they are active and would like to be re-added to the members list. Then people don't have to make new posts that crowd the site, but at the same time we know who's active and who's not. Make sense?
Rinafera, anything you can do to help with advertising would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, does anyone know the password for the Site Creation thing? We should probably continue with that.

I'll have to check my PMs for the Site Creation password, but right now, high school midterms and a bunch of projects are holding me up. Plus writing an Avatar fanfic and my post for the Tourney.

Aster, just PM me if you find the password. Thanks.  So, should I send out that mass email now so that all the members can join in on the new RP? Or should I wait until things are back to normal? |

I'm glad to hear the enthusiasm Aeroflyte . But back to my former question, is it worth sending out an email now, or should we wait? |

Speaking of which

Oh, I'm sorry, I must be invisible.
*grabs megaphone*
HOW CAN I HELP??
*particularly down Rai's ear*
Meh, If GoM dies, Raiden gets pretty cranky...
Which means it affects me...
So I help!

I had hoped to join before the board slowed, and regret not doing it sooner. However, I'll be happy to contribute to the dwindling population, eh. Thus, I'll help revive this place.
Start advertising right away. Never wait. Not even for renovations. Be professional, never stop, and advertise -everywhere- no matter how unrelated the place be.
