Not really a question, but certainly a concern. It's no dark and foreboding secret that this place could use more RPers. Especially for Canon characters. Or even more OC's would be welcomed... Not that I am complaining; I like the people here and the characters they create. But, and I am sure I am not alone in this, it would be nice to see more people joining the sparkly-glittery-fun. What I would like to discuss is ideas on HOW to get more members. Any ideas? Obviously, advertising on other websites and affiliation are good options, but where to advertise and with whom to affiliate? I'd be happy to spread the word on other websites, say in LJ RP-promotion communities or where have you, if that is fine. Also, if the admin ever felt like affiliating with www.rpg-directory.com, I would suggest it. You have to run the site to advertise there, though, so I can not do it. I thought it was more appropriate to put this thread in this forum, rather than in Chats & OOC Discussion. .... Is it just me, or do I only ever seem to post in the Q&C forum? D: The heck?

Well, I'm actually concerned about getting more members. I've been putting off on even adding more of my own OCs because I'm afraid it'd distract too much from the plot. People keep telling me it's OK if I start RPing other characters, saying the more the merrier, but I don't feel it. XD I probably I just feel weird because I feel like a newbie to RPing all over again. |D; IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. Plus I'm already so behind that I think too many members would just make me unbelievably confused. Maybe once I get situated it'll be easier?
Anyway! If you can find some little RP groups to advertise on then it might do a bit... There are just so few Psychonauts-interested roleplayers out there anymore. But advertising on the site you mentioned and stuff, we might find a couple good rpers. xD I can try linking to it in my journal (although I think most people who watch me and would join are already on the board)... Otherwise, I don't really have any ideas. :B

For the most part, the best things we can do to get true Psychonauts fans here is to do exactly what I did to get most of you here. Advertise in your journals or on Psychonauts art that you do on DA, and send out notes to those with Psychonauts fanart asking them to join.

I've already added a link on my reply-thingie on deviantart and advertised it in my journal. What we need is to get some celebrity members (celebrities to deviantart I mean) to suggest the site for us. By doing this we could get publicity from these members and soon have plenty of members. Also, we should try and put up some advertisement on the psyconauts club on deviantart. We can try and get a few of them to join.

Zahzu; Obviously, if a GIANT TSUNAMI of new members come pouring in one wave, that would be confusing, but I do not see that happening. And in all honesty, I'd rather have a small community of good roleplayers thatn a huge group of mediocre ones.
And make those OC's hurry hurry. :O
Crystal & Marie; Of course, this does seem the best course of action. :D
Loboto; Very good suggestions! Gee, a lot of you kids seem to be from DA... But, I suppose that would be a good site to advertise on. I wasn't aware it had 'celebrity' members... Really popular artists?
