Previously we attracted them via games and "hacks" like with DII. I guess Taco did some advertising too. But really the forum is just off topic nonsense now, which there are much larger forums for, like SomethingAwful. So how do we compete with that? We need ideas to get people to post.
A lot of new members seem to be playing WoW. Create an official Zelaron WoW guild on a new server where people would likely join a guild with an already existing member-base. I'm not going to quit playing on Burning Legion with Volls and all, but all the newer members in the game could go to the Zelaron guild on a new server and that would help attract members.
Of course, this doesn't have to be WoW. This idea could apply to pretty much any game.
So who's going to do it? I don't play WoW, so we would need someone to organize this. And to be honest, I doubt the people here are willing to do it. Not so much the organizing, but leaving their respective servers to play on the new one and be active. People are probably pretty niched into their little WoW worlds by now.

i thought of a way to start gaining people to our forum through halo. I dont have the equipment, but somebody, maybe sue or glory, can make a montage and send it to me. I can then post it on many halo realted forumes and say that we chat about it here, with other games like dII. WoW, etc. i can also talk to guys on xbox live that i play with and encourage them to join but these are just ideas righ now.
Even still it's boring, I recommend WoW base. Go to the Wow off topic forum and spam this website. Tell them you have hacks over here or something, I'm pretty sure that's how I got hooked back in the d2 days. (Bots 'n all)

Here here. If you create a WoW guild I will NOT participate :P. Got a guild on alleria now full of nice people that raids MC and such . No use leaving that . Good luck with it all though, Graviton bothered me on AIM to talk on here again .
yea ...it's annoying now, I've lost about 20 posts worth of typing due to threads being out of date or whatever. I'm gonna do the honorable samurai thing and disembowel myself now. Goodnight.
Google indexes approximately 133,000 pages containing the key word "Zelaron", most of which are threads on Zelaron.com. A majority of our visitors find the board via Google and other search engines when a thread's text content matches their search query.
What happens when a board has 436,118 unique posts? Quite a few people who have interests in things mentioned in those unique posts will inevitably visit the forum. In other words, one fool-proof way to get visitors is simply to add new content (make new posts) about interesting subjects, and wait for it to be indexed by search engines (may take 30 days or more on Google). 100 informative posts about World of Warcraft will bring... you got it, visitors interested in World of Warcraft.
The million dollar question is, what is the result of the current Chat Forum - World of Warcraft post ratio of 121863 : 3694?
