Idea: Project Necro.

[Artifact123]

Well, because Halloween is closing in and this Forum is pretty much dying(As well as the whole Dan-Ball Community) It's time to get out of our graves in search of fresh brains...

I got some ideas for things we could do:

1. A Halloween Contest with not only prizes for first, second and third, but also fourth and fifth.
2. From now on, people should earn 5 Dan-Balls for Advertising instead of 4, also, there should be a Thread somewhere where prewritten Advertisement texts can be copied and pasted.
3. Revival of certain Boards by creating a big Thread in them encouraging them to post(give reasons to post there and links to interesting Threads there they should check out). Boards that could need it: Powder Game, Serious Debate and Earth Editor.

I know it's pretty vague so feel free to ask questions so i can clearify.

Please support this so we can raise activity a bit.

I'm surprised we have managed to maintain our dying state for a few years and still be here, but fresh brains would admittedly be nice to have come All Hallows' Eve. Since we hadn't thought of the idea again until late, we weren't sure we would have enough time to organize an All Hallows' Eve contest for the forum before the holiday itself goes by, but I will say that some kind of surprise isn't altogether out of the question.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by creating "Big Threads" in some boards to encourage others post in them. What is a "Big Thread"?

Well, I made a thread in the Staff Board about a Halloween activity, but no one has posted in it yet. And it's been probably close to a week now.

Well, pretty much a Advertisement Thread saying: ''Hey you should post here and here and bring this Board back to live!''

HELLO THERE

DID SOMEBODY SAY NECRO I AM HERE NOW OK

[Qwerty]

Bring it back to life? Seems perfectly alive to me. The stats haven't changed much for the past year or so, and what change there was in the way of peaks and troughs always return to the status quo.

Now for the actual ideas. The idea with premade text advertisements is good, and while it has already been tried in the form of a contest I feel that we could try it again. Giving people 5 DBs instead of 4 for comment ads will make little to nil difference as one dan-ball isn't worth very much. Creation of interesting content is up to the community, not the staff. Anyone that thinks they have a good idea for a thread is encouraged to post it at any time.

I've been kind of busy, lately, so I haven't really done too much, but I'll probably get some more time, soon. I will check out that Halloween thing, I forgot about this holiday. If I see some interesting stuff, I'll post a thread about it, that's a good idea.
