I hate to say it, but this site is put plainly, and sadly, dead! It happened again.

I don't know how to help make the site any better than it is. deat, you have a perfect design, which many sites seem to lack in GREATLY, and also tons of GOOD documentation on ASCII... What's wrong?

Call me stupid, but is it just that the idea of ASCII art just isn't catching on or something? Are there too many die-hard graphic photoshop-PSP people out there?

That's the only thing I can come to, next to maybe that it needs to be advertised in the right places. Otherwise I don't see any place for improvement, because this board looks perfect me.

Mainly it's because people break forum rules (pm advertising) to advertise their ASCII forums. Or as with CheatPlanet, everyone goes there, when we have much better documentations.

Drastic, I know but you could

A.) Disable the PM system. Most people have AIM, if they need to talk, they can do so on AIM. Or, I know you may not like this idea, they could use the test board on here to "PM you" and others.

B.) There have got to be some other ASCII boards you could hang out on and advertise. beyond cheatplanet... Hmm... *googles it*

I didn't mean pm advertising here, but at larger boards (CP, IFS, IFT, etc...).

Oh, so basically you're saying that people PM advertise their forums, so they get members, while you don't? That's a low way to get members, but for those that don't complain/report the forums I guess those their forums get members... or am I off again?

Oh no, you've got it that time.

That makes me have to tinhk of even more constructive ways to advertise, while still staying within forum rules.

The forum is dead, or sleeping as my mother explained to me about my kitty cat when I was seven. I know now I was lied to. It still haunts me at night, I'd call out my kittys name "TURNIP!" but alas, he never came back. But I got my mother back... oh yes... that business.... Anyways back to the board. I tried to get some people active on a few occasions, just didn't seem to work. I'll stick with this board for a long time however, for I check it out 2-3 times on a daily basis.

We just need more people. places like cp and gaia have 1000's of people, most of which don't come on every day but there are still enough people active at one time. ASCII is popular, and the layout is really good, so advertise on other forum's plug boards or affilate with them to get more members

You could also advertise on: http://s9.invisionfree.com/iFusion; you need to post like at least 15 post before you do; plus if you play in their Board Battles that could draw some members in.
