Unfortunately, we haven't been seeing the activity we'd like to. If anybody has suggestions on how to recruit new members and increase activity, please do tell. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

Still not on the first five pages of Google when plugging 'Haruhi.'
We're the first thing that pops up for 'project haruhi,' but I can't
imagine that gets many hits...
I've been advertising everywhere I can, but there's only so much you can do without getting banned.

We could try posting links in other forms, adding a link to our signature's in other forms or changing our home page in other forms to project haruhi.

Very few places will stand for the first one. Most don't care about the second, and there's a spot on profiles specifically for the third - both of which I've been doing.

I have a Haruhi role-play chatroom on EmpireIRC... I've linked here from there (Airwolf found you this way) but unfortunately... the chatroom is pretty much empty bar the original members, me and our IRC bots.

I say go to bleach sites and advertise there

Just Bleach?

I'm sure if everyone put links in their sigs on other sites, that it'd be more noticed.

A banner maybe.

Jasper, even though you have linked in the IRC room, there's only ever four of us at most, so that didn't exactly bring much attention to it. =P

Though being constructive on how to attract more, I'd say the banner idea would be best. Preferably something like Ryoko's end transmission; it's big and you notice it, but it's not too obstructive or too insanely huge.

Anyone care to try make one? </is-nowhere-near-good-enough>

I did actually say there's only like 4 in at a time >.>

And... I'll make a banner if I'm given a brief for it.

How about making afilliations with all Suzumiya Haruhi's-based sites?

No.
We have our reasons. In fact, it's why this site was created.

Fair enough. I guess if you make a site you also don't want to be affilated to sites that directly rival your forum.

How about making a certain gallery?Surely going to attract attention.

As in? A fan art gallery could be fun... with a NSFW section of course >3

A fanart gallery isn't a bad idea... I suppose you all are telling me that you have something to put in there?

And this is one of the reasons we won't be affiliated with certain other Haruhi sites. The answer on this is no, and will always be no, from every other staff member you may encounter.

Sadly,all fanarts I have was not made by myself.What is NSFW?

1- Yes... I've got one huge collection of my own drawings I can always improve =p
Or I could do a Haruhi-based fan comic if that'd work better. I'd need story ideas of course.

2- Can't win em' all. I actually didn't expect a serious answer to such a stupid comment =p

Another suggestion.What about.....Making a SHnY soundtrack download section?A complete one.

Bandwidth usage (and costs) would punch a hole in the cat's roof.
Maybe a torrent database, like at AnimeSuki, would be viable. The staff would have to convene and discuss everything involved (legal risks, traffic, security, etc.) before implementing it, though.

I see.Tell me if I can help with something then.

That's depend of what you call pervy pics... Some bunny girls aren't pervy at all, it's the favorite outfit of our goddess !

Actually... I've been planning to do a webcomic for some time now. If I did a Haruhi based one... would it be possible to host it here?

Though it would be in my own style, my style is not completely different from that of the artist for the novels. I can scan in a certain page from my sketchbook, that depicts all the more prominent characters, if you'd like to see my style and ability. Unfortunately I can't do that until next week when I have time.

The stories would most likely be based on ideas of my own and of members here. Not sure of how long each would be or how regular updates would be though.

What do you think?

For a look at some of my work... there's my deviantart link in my signiture... there's also a topic on my art on the 'Random Ramblings' board.

Have to talk to the cat, since it's his site, but I like the idea - as long as it isn't full of suck :P
It goes without saying, but it would have to conform to the forum guidelines in order for it to be eligible for something like this.

Oh, sounds good. I'll do a decent drawing of all the characters for now. I have one question: characters from just series 1 of the anime... or all of the novels?

Up to you. No one ever said this site was limited to the anime ;)

I know, I was just thinking spoiler-ness. Mind you... not like I can't just put spoiler warnings.

I suppose actual nudity (not like the Mikuru stuff) and things directly relating to sex would be nsfw... which would mean that the more... questionable... parts of the novels still don't count as nsfw.
