Point out what makes your forum special and advertise with this.
I know its damn hard but you will make it.
Getting the first thousand users is hard. The next thousand is easier, believe me  |
1000????? *faints* I don't think I could pull off thousand members within an rp board XDD. The only thing I wanted to know is how you get ppl active and keep them active, and also how keep them dedicated to your board?
The problem with my board is that people sign up, and then never come back, or they don't even get there accounts validated >_<. So far I have about 25 active members (it's gotten a bit better), which post at least every one/two days. But my membercount is on 55 (and about 10 unvalidated accounts).
Would it maybe help if I get boards/special things on the forum that other Harry Potter RPG don't have? For instance I was thinking about actually making a 'clubs' board, where members (as students) could setup there own club, and roleplay as their having that club, and think up activities on their own.
I was also thinking of sending out a bulk email after an ammount of time, with updates, news, and fun stuff about the boards and HP etc.
Anyway, if anyone has more tips on how you can keep your members active, and the boards more atractive so ppl will come back, very much appreciated ^^.
