Welcome to my thread, everyone.

We need to come up with new ways to bring more members to Logical Gamers.

Feel free to post your ideas, but this thread must stay on topic. Please discuss all ideas an equal amount, and do not stray too far on a single idea. All ideas are accepted, all ideas are considered. No idea is considered dumb, unless it was posted to plainly troll us and not be helpful.

So, current list of ideas, will update as people post them:

- Removing Sub Forums

We need to remove all of the inactive sub forums. A forum with five members and 100 sub forums looks dead, because it's highly unlikely that the users will enjoy the topics of each of those sub forums. I vote we cut down on all of the gaming forums and generalize them to "Online Games" or maybe "Console Games" and "Computer Games." We should also make the Health and Nutrition forum a sub-forum of the Guides and Tutorials forum, because it appears that one of the main topics of the Health and Nutrition forum is tutorials on how to stay healthy. Keeping it as a sub-forum of the Tutorials forum would keep it easily browsable while putting it into the correct section. Remember - a community of five members with five highly active sub forums is better than a community of one hundred with one hundred barely posted in sub forums.

- Advertising

I think we should start advertising places, or maybe even advertising on something like Google AdWords. We should also advertise that we have Gaia and other video game hacks, and try to use SEO tactics to get us to the top of google searches of those terms. This would bring us lots of new members. We should also make it public to see forums and forum posts, because otherwise people might not take the time to sign up and post if they don't even know what content we have. As of now, the search "Gaia hacks" doesn't even have us listed on the first page. On the other hand though, a fake website with fake programs is result number TWO. (Chaos Programming)

- Creation of Software

We need to get started on more bots, hacks, and software for a greater variety of games. Currently I'm working on Half Life 2 mods, and we could even get a small forum going for game mods like that if people were interested enough. We just need to come up with new tactics and such to keep the general population of gamers interested in us. Bots, hacks, exploits, mods, and sales of online goods could bring us some good activity and such. It could be helpful to us to, though, if we teach more members to program. For me, it took me a year here to have someone finally teach me how to make an FLP, and it took me two to finally get enough information to be taught about Gaia's flash games and such. If you want information here, I had found, you had to get it yourself or not get it at all. We should change that, and make all of our information public. This would inspire a new wave of programmers and hackers, who have more ideas than our worn-out brains do.

Anyway, discuss away. I'll try to update more later.

Peace.
