So, without an official count, it seems like the numbers of active people have declined a lot. I'm sure lots of former players don't know TNN is back, but until they hear (and even after that), does anyone have suggestions for good ways to draw in new players? I've already done Facebook pimping.

TL;DR: Shoats are shiny, how can we get more?

I say we pimp harder and work on boosting TNN, maybe make a players section for facebook.

I've brought a handful of people in over the last couple of months by putting my recruitment link in my signatures on a few avatar sights.

But we need a way to reach the masses.

Maybe we could use Digg or something similar to get the word out to a lot of people?

This is kind of a double-edged sword, but I am interested in hearing anyone's ideas on how to bring former players back into the fold and even some new ones.

The only issue with bringing more players on board is our current hosting situation is struggling to keep up when a lot of us are online currently. There are still thousands of toolbars, perhaps inactive, pinging the server and so forth during peak hours.

I am very hopeful that the community-at-large will be able to solve some of the code issues we simply don't have the resources to tackle right now and we can either optimize the code for better performance, or double up on donations and be able to upgrade our slice to the next tier.

Thoughts?

lol that sure is effective ...

I'm thinking of converting to the greater good myself!
