Ok, I shall be working on this project from now on. The goal is to make a magic school in America, which will be the counterpart of Hogwarts across the Atlantic. I will be needing volunteers to help me out.

Basically, these people don´t care about originality see, they dream of haaing kinky sex with arry, of flying a broomstick and defeating Voldyshorts or whatever the fuck. This will get members galore, this is like the bait, and other good projects are the hook.

But will those members stay and post anywhere outside this WP?

Remember what happened with Heroes. We got like a bajillion members, and only about 7 of them ended up impacting the rest of the site at all.

Lets see, Heroes is an action hero WP, the people in it are a bit cloer to normal people. The majority of our WPs are fantasy or surreal, HP is a surreal fantasy WP therefore IMO they will stay, obviously not all but some.

Alright Paps then do you have any other method of getting lots of members quickly, other than Harry Potter even though this is the exact right time to pounce on the fans and get all their time and in the case of companies, money?

Yeah, I do. Make a good WP, PM old members and offer them teacher positions, call it Nihil Academy, let them make their own classes.

This could get OLD, GOOD, members back.

Don't flatter yourself too much and feel so important. Nobody's going to beg you to post.

TOTAL AND UTTER FAILURE ^

They'll simply ignore the messages, as they've ignored mostly every crap you messaged them with, especially the bulk mails. What was once known as Nihil Academy is dead. It's too old now, too much time has passed, and the old members you speak of definitely won't come back because of irritating PMs.
And they would be irritating, mind you.

Don't listen to people like Paps who clearly can't appreciate the intense amount of activity triggered by WPs based on existing media. He tried to make a point that they'd all be noobs who'd only stick to that one forum, but the precedent, my Heroes WP which damn well provided a majority percentage of activity and new and creative members like Dominator and pullingafast1 and all the others, stands in opposition to his inexperienced riling against "unoriginal fan-WPs".
Getting 7 members out a bajillion is far more successful than what you propose. And I know this from experience. You may think you're too good for it, but you're not. ;) Absolutely no one will come back from your "LOL DIS IS A GOOD WP LETS BUG OLD MEMBERS INTO COMING INTO IT".
This WOULD be a good WP, it'd simply have a Harry Potter angle to attract new members. I hate it when people rail blindly against WPs based on existing media, as if the so-called "original" WPs are original in any real way.

Hey sorry guys, guess i can't be of much help anymore [not that i've been any help at all]. The boss gave me a huge load.

Tipsy remember the recently concluded elections? I'm the one who's gonna do the manual for the Newly Elected Officials [NEO] for the MAyors and Governors and their Vice. :p I've already done 2 books, about 70-100 pages each, but I still got 13 left, and one more book that's 300 pages. :smoke:

So even if you see me guys online I might not be paying attention.

I'll try posting when I can, maybe in between eye-rests [I have astigmatism], anyways I'm looking forward to this one, and hopefully I'll be done with this soon enough to help... :cheer:

Bleah to your meh. You're in no position to play Disillusioned Dave. You never have been.
You simply don't understand how the WP ecosystem works.
My WPs, masterfully designed and original, but based on preexisting shows or series, attract massive amounts of eyes and members.
A good percentage of these are funneled across the site as a whole, entering and playing in the self-absorbed, subconsciously unoriginal, and more-difficult-to-recruit-members-for "original" WPs.

Constantly messaging members who are either uninterested or busy, especially when it's about an "original" WP they will 99.9% have no interest in trying to understand compared to messaging them about a potential "unoriginal" WP based on a setting or idea they know or love=Fail
Trying to devalue the massive potential in well-made and designed WPs based or inspired by preexisting media=Fail

Never ever underestimate the power of the fan.


Anyway, I'll be a teacher I guess, but I don't think I can help with design. I have a lot on my plate to update already, and I'm not experienced enough with HP.

Okay back to the topic. We need faculty members now, we need to design as much as we can, select the good ones, then tweak them. I already have one, we need around 9 more.

Heh, if you want to lower yourself to ripping stuff off, I guess I fail.
