What can we do to get more active members?

We've tried projects, a competition, advertising to everyone we can find who likes SuG, We have a twitter, a tumblr...

What can we do so you guys will post more often?
And how can we get more people to join the forum?

These are things Tsu and I keep asking ourselves.

I thought we could do a raffle/give away thing. But the problem with that is money. Neither of us can afford to buy amazing SuG related gifts.

We really want this forum to be the best, friendliest SuG forum out there. and we want people from all over the world to join.

No one uses the section we made for people who cant speak English and we know it's probably because all of our announcements are in English. But we don't have any translators.

So please let us know what we can do to make this forum better for you guys to use!

Also you don't have to be a forum member to comment on this post. So guests please comment!

Advertising on different SuG pages? Like SuG tumblr pages?
Something like Yuusuke was really popular, but I guess thats exspensive as well...
(R.I.P Yuusule ;3;)

I've commented on loads of SuG pages on Facebook, sent messages to SuG fans on twitter and tumblr, tried to affiliate with other SuG fangroups across the web...

Hmm...I dont know how else to be honest *3*
But If you think of some clever thing
I'll try and help as much as possibile!
I think the scrapbook thing will be good, because its not expensive to partcipate in and lots of people would like the oppurtunity to send things to SuG! And if we link back to here in all our posts, hopefully more members?

Oh yeah, for translating I could translate into Spanish..I pretty sure there are other people on here who have that as their first language, but I dont mind trying to translate as it would be good practice for my exams xDD And most of the updates seem quite simple to translate

ah that would be great you two!

Would it be ok if you two started by translating all the Gimmie Gimmie stuff in the news section and posting it in the international news section?

Ah and Neko, I'll add you as forum staff and PM you both the login details for the twitter so you can translate and post the tweets

(ah sorry if that's a lot O3O but you can take your time with it xD)

Started translating~

I'll start translating it to german then now~ [french should take a while, 'cause im out of practice, need to look in my books, but then i'll do it~]

i just think most SuG fans are to lazy to join XD but ganbatte minna!~

I'm the only SuG fan out of pretty much my whole general location... otherwise I'd tell friends and other people I know about this...
I don't even remember how I found this forum... I think it was somehow a related search on google. probably for more info on the up-coming single...
sorry I can't be of much help to this topic.... but it is possible to find, hopefully more fans will join soon

..What if we sent all of our admins to conventions and had them give out flyers. Incognito papico will be surprised, and we may even make a few NEW papico?! ヾ(*⌒∇⌒)八(⌒∇⌒*)ツ

idk. We could hire sky-writers.
Make the world acknowledge our, and SuG's, existence. l:

Give out t-shirts.
Kidnap and force SuG on unsuspecting victims.
Buy a few billboards. advertise both ourselves and SuG.
Take it upon ourselves to fix up a few icky fields,
but make it so that from the sky, theres a big $uG written in flowers. l:
Have a huge public dance competition somewhere.
Above idea may work better at an anime convention.

...Somehow manage to get all of the papico in the world together in one room, and then proceed to threaten them at gun point.
.../exaggeratedshrug

I do not condone violence.. ತ_ತ

YES! LETS HIRE PLANES AND WRITE IN THE SKY!
Haha but seriously, the flyers are a good idea~ I'm going to Expo this weekend with Kei so we could do that!

Ah yeh, I was thinking about flyers. I guess if we're going to do that then I should really get to making them xDDD

What about a flyer-competition? Everyone creates a flyer and the one with the most votes can be handed out...? |D

Keis already made the leaflet and Expo is this saturday so I think its a lttle late ;3; But next time they'res a big event we should do that!

Oh okay, haha.
Yes~ :3 because if we do more competitions, maybe more Papikos enter the Forum~? :0

yeh but competition prizes cost money U_U; which I don't have

Eh, im going to a convention next month, i think.. ehh-.. 11.-12 june, it was. my printer only prints black white right now [the other one doesnt work -.-] and black/white flyers are not very attractive ... but maybe i can draw some pictures, and talk to people to advertise the forum~ ♥ I have already seen some SuG fans here in germany over the past month but no one is on this forum, so i'm going to try my best :3

Ah I finished making the flyers now, cause they're being handed out this Saturday so there wouldn't be time to run a competition xD. But maybe in the future we'd do one for some updated flyers~

Eh, do you really need a prize for a flyer-competition? I think it's already a prize when it gets handed out at conventions... xD

I have one friend that is a SuG fan, and another one that is slowly becoming a SuG fan, I will tell them to join ^-^

but my best friend is italian, so i could maybe ask her to translate something to italian

I'm italian and if you want I can translate too!!XD
Can I translate the rules and post them in international section?

@yume chan
Yes, please do! That would be great, thank you

Ah that would great if you could, thanks Yume!
And maybe ou could ask any other Italian fans you know to use the forum? even if they can talk English they can use the international section!
