'Ello! I just had a few ideas for this forum for now.
1. FAQ Thread
Pretty self-explanatory. Just a thread to help clear up things people are frequently confused or curious about. Also, it can be used for people to ask questions that aren't covered in the FAQ.
2. Advertising
I, as well as others here whose names I recognize from VF, found this forum through the AsylumforWaywardVictoriangirls cult on VF. So as you already know, VampireFreaks is a good place to advertise. But to take that a step further, I've found that making cults on VampireFreaks is a great way to advertise.
For example, here's a cult I made to advertise for an online vampire game I play:
vampirefreaks.com/cult/ReignofBlood
I've gotten a lot of referrals through doing this, and it doesn't violate VF's rules in anyway. It's just a good way to spread the word about this forum if you're interested.
I think it would also be a good idea to make a Facebook group/page for this forum. I use one for my role-play forum, and I find it's nice because sometimes people forget role-play forums when they've gotten busy and haven't logged in for a while... but most people always check their Facebook. When they see updates about the forum in their FB news feed, they remember the forum and will often start logging in actively again.
3. Staff
I know that active members are limited and you're still just getting started with the reopening... but more staff members will definitely help.
