Hey all,
As many of the vets around here know, this was Excelsior's stomping ground pretty much since the beginning and I'll always consider this forum his baby.
I've been a moderator of this forum for a few years now and in my early days, particularly before the purge, it's where I spent most of my time on the Hype.
Sadly, traffic has dwindled down here in recent years. We have had some amazingly talented people in the past and we have talented people now. Not all post their works in this forum or even visit it, so how can we bring people back and get it hopping in here again?
I've thought of some possible ideas, and would love to hear all of your feedbacks and suggestions as well.
* Fan Art Contests
These were a staple for quite some time and in the early days, actual prizes were given out. I've been toying with the idea of bringing these back as bi-monthly contests, and I would give out actual prizes. Is there interest in these? They're mostly for fun, the prizes would just help up the competitive edge and maybe bring more traffic and make it more interesting. i'm definitely up for suggestions for themes.
* The Coloring Thread(s)
These were fairly successful as well. Line Art was posted as timely intervals and users would work on the photos and color them in various mediums. Different skill levels were shown and it was great to see how everyone interpreted the same pieces in their own way. Creativity flowed and best of all, people shared tips and tools and helped each other get better.
would love to get some feedback on this from you all. Thanks - CC
