And those were awesome, yet none of it seems to be in any sort of official capacity like with the Banners. At some point, I'd be nice to have the org go: "Hey, you want to promote the site?

I'd rather help teach a handful of users how to use features of the site twice, than campaign for new users and have to try to teach a whole lot more of them. Your posts seem to flip-flop on what you're asking for exactly, I was responding to your original post. Hype for a new site we know next-to-nothing about ourselves? No. Promote when it's done? Yes.

Yeah, definitely showing at cons would be awesome. I know at least one of the videos I linked had been shown at cons, so there's a willingness there. I recall GQ handing out a-m-v.org business cards, and the NDK gang gave out pamphlets with info on them. Perhaps once the redesign is finished, we can coordinate our efforts across various conventions, and see if we can't get a little screen time for promotion and whatnot.

Well, okay, but regardless of whether it gains traction or not, what matters is what we do with any promo material that exists. What if Project OrgEditor, again, includes a round where contestants made promo videos? Do we use them, or not use them in any official capacity? Do we save them for the unveiling? Should we save all promo for later? As it is right now I don't think it would be wise to attract too much attention to the site, unless you have that Under Construction sign I was talking about to mitigate any judgement towards the site. If at least that much is done, I wouldn't feel too bad about directing people here in any way.BasharOfTheAges wrote:Phantasmagoriat wrote:This is what we need to discuss first:

If you honestly think something like this would gain traction and have people involved in actually contributing to it in any meaningful way faster than it'll take to get the new site in place, then you're kidding yourself. For reasoning: See merch contest.

You can't go advertising this site, at anime cons, to a primarily young fandom equipped with smart phones with instant access to YouTube and Facebook. There's no point in making any major attempt to draw people to The Org until there's an Org that they'd actually want to use.
