Topic pretty much says it all.
Now, debate here the best ideas you have to make Chug a more active place ;o

My first idea would be adding a link to one's signature, like this:

That's probaly the best way to get more people on WoWoN forums (having a link in signatures). Having had been a global moderator (head of publicity) for a forum before (inter-regional high school forum but am no longer one...:cry ), there isn't much you can do to bring people to the forums except just posting your link in other forums.

To increase publicity, a method I found rather effective was to add an insentive for joining. Such as offers or prizes. One of such could be to offer that chance to be in the running to win some free gfx or "X" gold (on WoN; I'd be willing to supply the gold if need be, within reasonable amounts obviously) if they join WoWoN Forums and remain active for "X" period of time or reach "X" posts (legitly ofc) within "X" time or anything else that would catch people's attention.

You could try making an advertisement, although I highly doubt that would be effective since there wouldn't be much to put in it. Even maybe signatures for members to use on WoN Forums that link to here would work well.

I hope I have been of some help.

That's the best idea so far, I don't we can do much to advertise this site at the moment, so putting a link in our signature is the best idea.

Maybe you should make a rule like

"If you want to be a character in WoWoN you have to join our forums at blafhgrgtgr.com then make an application there"

Then more people will join.

Also in the future it'd be a good idea to add an "item" in these forums ( from The Shop ) that you have to get if you want to be a character in WoWoN ( like 250 points..? )

That's not a bad idea. That would surely increase traffic on these forums, but the thing is that once they make their application for a char to be made of themselves, they might possibly just never come back here (and will remain forever inactive. :cry ) On the other hand they might (by making an application) discover how interesting these forums are and help make it active.

Yup, Now we just have to wait until an Admin sees my post :)

Shishi VI also works for requesting your own char, but I'd rather keep it "free".

The problem with saying "you need to post X times" in our forums to be made a character can result into either an enormous boost on activity... or in a complete failure, with no chars to make, 'cause no-one will bother to log in here and request their own.

Offering gold for registering... is kinda meh. I won't say "no" yet, but it's more of a "not for the moment".

I would say let's bribe Yuki into putting a link on the start page.

I don't think he will agree with this o.o

All we can do for now is put a link in our sigs

I didn't mean give them gold if they join, I meant as in they can possibly win some gold through a randomselection process if they reach a requirement (like having X posts or w/e else).

Sounds like a good idea.

But I don't think the Admins want to give gold :unsure
