Let’s face it folks. The EAB is dying. Unless we get some new blood and soon, this place is gone. Sure some people are pointing fingers at certain people who for now will remain nameless. Others are just pointing to the fact that it’s getting closer to finals and the end of the school year. And some people have jobs that are just keeping them too tired to care about this place.
Either way, we need new members. I’m always trying to subtly recruit people to our sight. One suggestion to me was to have a fancy sig for my other forms (Note there are only two and I don’t RP at either one of them.) that linked back to the EAB. Well despite my pushing buttons sig, I don’t know how to make one, let alone do the linking. So I’m going to need help with that one.
In any case, action must be taken if you want the EAB to live.

It's dying? I dunno, I'd still go here even if it was just Ninmast and like True.

I'm not opposed to new blood, just new blood that's stupid. If you know anyone competent, great.
I don't mean to sound bitchy, I'm just tired of new people that contribute nothing but garbage... Personally, I'm working two jobs, four styles of martial arts, and a boyfriend right now, so I'm a tad preoccupied, like, all the time.

It'd be good if there were more COMPETENT new people but those are hard to come by.

Yeah, this forum only feels dead to me because you all only post in the l33t and the RP boards, and I haven't touched that place since who knows when. What I'd like to get is some actual discussions and actual writing over here (you know, elite authors board). Contributing to only one thread here every month is getting boring.

Roleplaying is a perfectly legitimate form of writing.
As for recruitment, EJP, have you actually encountered anyone that would contribute to the forum? I still pass the word along whenever I find anyone good enough, but they're rare. The entire internet is seeing an influx of illiterate morons.

True, what are you doing with those martial arts? Training for UFC or planning to fight Shinyfighter to the death or something else?
True and Ninmast, don't worry I'm having clones of Ninmast who will act just like him in every way show up to help the board out so you don't feel the need to take a chance on some noobs. And if you didn't guess that was a joke. You say I'm mean to the noobs, atleast I don't go around insulting people before they even show up.
Oh and I'm currently trying to bring in some actual RPers I know in real life but I'm not giving any details past "trying".
Silva, you do make a good point and you may soon find your wish granted. If my current plans work out. If not.... well atleast I tried.
What are you doing for the cause besides going to gaia and telling the spamers to *Insert something mean and painful*?

I'm not exactly sure how a world with an undefined gender woud procreate.
ZING!!!!!!
-----------------
But anyway, I honestly don't feel the board's going to fall over and die anytime soon; yeah, it's a much smaller community than some of the other boards out there, but considering the fact that most of those boards have some serious quality control issues, I'm not complaining.

See? I can take jokes with a smile! I can have a sense of humor, too!

I can definitely recruit a few strong Rpers from my school. If they'll do anything else, I don't know. And through those people I'm sure we could get together even more talent.

I've actually been trying to poke members from my board to migrate here, but... to no avail. Then again, some of them are from here anyway so that won't work. I'm trying, though.
Perhaps we could try advertising on GAIA again like, IIRC, we did before?
That and/or meet people at Anime conventions? Lawl, that's how I met my co-owner (and good friend). I'm going to AnimeBoston and AnimeNEXT this year (I was debating going to Otakon as well, but my job wouldn't be happy with me missing so many days), so maybe anyone I meet there, I can give them the friendly "nudge" toward here?
I've been a bit busy lately, which is why I don't post here as much (if at all), but I still love this place to death. It was, after all, my first home. I'll try anything to help out.
If y'all like... with EJP's idea of making signatures to promote the board... I could do that. Just give me until the end of this god-awful hell of a semester that I'm stuck in and when I have the time, I'll work on sigs. Pinky swear! ^^;

Go for it, Flame! Sounds like a good idea. Just no, "The EAB is full of great writers, but can it see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?"
