HOW are we going to increase this sites user base is one of the issues we need to tackle. The other one being activity and interactivity by existing members. Here's a thread to discuss the first problem. Currently I have thought of two ways we could do this: 1) Send out invitations via private messages to well proven RPers on everypony.
This option will be good in a way that we will have quality and high standard roleplays all of the time without the tedious explaining how to do it. Though it could lead to more things like the fagballs incident with people complaining about us being elitists. It could also lead to not enough people being picked.
2) Try to get a sponsoring with Everypony through Tyro or Eight Star.
The second option will allow more people visiting and signing up. This could get rid of an elitist view by some but can also lead to inexperienced role players signing up. Such as a certain new member who I shall not name but writes in This.
so what do you guys think. Do you have any improvements or ideas or do you think these could work. Its up to us to spread the PM invites but up to Saul and admin to get the sponsor.

UH_OSJANPJICN»^KN^LVNKADA`'.BN»X Maybe it won't be a good idea to ask for publicity on EP: After all, we're almost considered Heretics by *coughcough* SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE. Though i'll give it a try, maybe Eight Star will be... understanding, if not very-cooperative? As well as new members, i'm taking a newbie on EP: not naming names, but mispelling a pony dj's name as a username and ponifying Itchigo from bleach basically sums up his profile. But he has the interest to play in the Unityverse, and loves dark/gore roleplay. SO, i've got this idea: Take a newbie! It'll take a few months, but we'll developp a good atmosphere here by having membrs we trained. -They'll consider us their teachers; -We'll hopefully become friends by the time we train them; -Most of them will prefer the quality and their friends than Ep: making them recommand/invite new people. And when we'll have a lot of members, we return on EP, and show the others how to roleplay- Horsemen style. Please patch the holes in this pplan, since it's very... Hitlerian.

Now that you've said that I've taken a EPer under my wing. A certain solar bolt. Still waiting to see if he takes me up on this offer.

If Unity’s Circle was advertised on Everypony
If Unity’s Circle were to have an affiliation to Everypony (And i believe that it should due to us being members of the site and starting another ‘home’ on the site) we can gain much more users. While this removes the whole elitist view that is portrayed on this site by ‘Those’ members, this could also lead to an unexperienced group of members that have no idea what to do, or how to roleplay. Let’s say that if we were to have an affiliation to Everypony, we should portray the message as a largely role-play focused website, while still providing out of RP areas such as discussions about culture, video games and so forth.
If Unity’s Circle was not advertised on Everypony
I’m going to be straight with this. We don’t advertise this site soon, nor use the site regularly enough, Unity would collapse and basically become a graveyard which we will pick over occasionally if we don’t take enough action. Unity would provide an extremely low amount of occasional members, and even then some of them might never join up again. While we can preserve our somewhat elitist view, we sacrifice an enormous amount of members in the progress. This scenario is without any sort of action at all obviously, so let’s discuss about affiliations and advertisements.
If we advertise or create an affiliation for Unity’s on Everypony, one of us needs to break the deal to an authority figure, like Eight Star. We also need to be diplomatic about this, one of us with a good skill in writing and a good charisma can be perfect for the job.
If none of us are interested, I’ll be the negotiator.

Crim, i vote for you to be the negotiator, and i take the hitlerian role of being the mastermind of it all: if you have négative points to put the blâme on someone, let it be me. Ill send a PM to Eight Star too, but you shall be our "porte-parole".

I guess seeing as I was the person who Started the rivitilisation process of the forum through the first roleplay and a couple of threads I guess I am Hitler from 1923 to 1939. Also my Deal with my trainee fell through as he felt it would be better further down the line.
