Ok, here's the deal. We had a cool jump in joining for about a week a while back. It was great, and it brought mucho attention to the site. But, since then we've been on a sharp decline. So here's the deal, now that I've pretty much got the main layout for SPI V.2 done (I'm still screwing with the catagory headers, trying to make them match the tables to the right) I've decided to initiate a Membership drive. The drive will end On midnight New years eve. The goal, 100 members. More really, but at least 100. To start some initiative, I'm going to start a few contest during the drive (which starts A.S.A.P By the way), the first of which to be announced tomorrow. Ok, so, the final go for the year is 100 members. And 2500 posts would be good as well. I KNOW we can do it, how bout you? You can get members however you want (outside of spamming other peoples boards in non-designated areas). Also, just some more inspiration, we're currently the most popular strictly zelda related board on proboards. So...yea....yippee. 100 MEMBERS!!!!! GO!!!!

I did. I think the best way to get more people is through direct interaction on the other forums. Anyone you happen to be talking to, just mention to them how cool the site is, what's on it, me, and that they should come check it out.

That would be good, just anything to bring in members besides mindless spam (unless it's done so in a designated area. Oh, and I've found out how to make a block from your post modding of my posts Mattocks

since it's the weekend, I'll brainstorm some ideas we could do and post them here later. =]
One, off the top of my head, is there should actually be a forum in the guest's thread =]

I figured something along those lines, plus a free item from the main shop.

Sounds good.
Btw, I have a suggestion for the site's overall looks:
I think each zelda game shouldn't have it's own forum. We should really pull a ZU and clump some of the threads together then have some sub-boards inside.
What do ya think?

A good idea, but we should stick to sections for the moment. It might lengthen the page a bit for each game to have their own catagory. Although, adding theorizing and general ect. sub boards to each section isn't a bad idea.
