Me too. It feels like there's more of a presence about the org when I see it on Facebook and such.Castor Troy wrote:I'm also glad that the .org is now making more use of their facebook and twitter accounts.

Re: What in the bloody smucks happened?
I think I found a thread about Project Genius there.Zarxrax wrote:Its easy to see that the forum used to be a lot more active than it is now. Just look at the dates of the threads in General AMV. Right now, the front page of threads ranges from Feb 1 - Jan 4 (last post date). A full page of threads over 1 months time.
Let's look at page 2 of threads. Jan 4 - Dec 4. Another month. Seems pretty consistent.
Now let's look back to 2005:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... start=3960
A full page of post ranges from May 10 2005 - May 3 2005. A full page of posts per week.
Looking at the next page, May 2 2005 - April 26 2005. Still about 1 week.
Now, of course this is just looking at General AMV as opposed to the forum as a whole, but I think General AMV is a pretty good indication of the overall speed of the forum. We are only getting about 25% of the activity that we had back then.
Just release the damn thing already. It's been about a decade.

I'm getting a little sick of waiting, myself. Had very high hopes, knowing who-all was involved with it.Castor Troy wrote:I think I found a thread about Project Genius there.![]()

Re: What in the bloody smucks happened?
I kind of stopped posting in general, mostly because I was afraid of myself and how the community would react to anything I posted because of my *lovely* reputation. Honestly, editors on YouTube are thinking the same things you are about the community being less active. It's depressing.
Maybe we should start advertising org on other AMV websites? I'm sure Nya and some of the other banner artists on here wouldn't mind making some promotional art and advertising images that we could then post on other sites such as AMVNews. That would open up another lane for traffic from other webpages to org...and probably bring in some new people.
The ads' could be something like "Post on org!" or "If you aren't posting, then start hosting!" (yeah idk im bad at slogans) and that way we are advertizing the forums and not just the front page. (which is what most people see nowadays)
I also think broadcasting the website on our AMVs would be a good idea too. I know that a lot of contests make you put like, "amvnews" or "akross-con" in your videos somewhere, so maybe putting "amvs.org" or something in the title of an AMV would catch people's interest.
just putting in my 2-cents
now sure if any of it is realistic though lol

You do realize that that's largely the point of the existing banners system, right?OtakuGray wrote:Maybe we should start advertising org on other AMV websites?

Re: What in the bloody smucks happened?
Well yes, the banners are promotional art. That's not the only thing we could be doing to promote the website though. I just meant maybe adding more popularity might help, seeing as how easily org is overlooked, or at least that is how it seems anyways. -shrugs-Scintilla wrote:You do realize that that's largely the point of the existing banners system, right?OtakuGray wrote:Maybe we should start advertising org on other AMV websites?

I think this is all leading to the org redesign idea.
