    Yeah pony resources would be a bit silly ^^
    I'm sure somepony will think of something - I have a few ideas right now but there not really fleshed out or tbh some are just plain stupid! :derpe:

    Even if they are stupid. They can't be completely useless. It IS a brainstorming after all. No dumb ideas in brainstorming.

    Here: What if we go to the US capital building and inflate a giant Everypony.com float and tie it to the top? :derpe:

    Well, we have some things to choose from:

    Games

    Comics

    Stories

    Interactive Media (Besides games)

    Shorts

    Maybe we can go with something like.

    (I'm telling y'all, the leniency and more mature content we allow is a great lure)

    If the site I'm building was already up 'n running I'd def put up an ad for this site. Too bad it's not ready.

    Not sure what your chances are but would it be worth while asking pensivepony (or whatever his name is) to put a link to this site in the description of his videos?

    OffT: Grey, I really hope what your sig says is true!

    It really depends on what he asks for in return.

    He could be a true brony and not ask for anything AND join us.



    (Also, just updated profile for new theme. LOOKS GREAT-ish. Is there a way to save profile themes so it can change depending on which theme we have. I was thinking that way, when someone looks at your profile, the profile look design you made for that theme shows up instead of clouds in a green meadow. But not sure how much space or time this would require)

    Striked: Oh... Why didn't I think of this before. If you ever watch a video on youtube that has to do with ponies. ALWAYS say everypony.com in the comments. :D

    I re-read the first posts. Grey already said this. I guess... We still need to stick to this idea.

    This could help. And if we do it a lot, then the word could spread quicker. I think you could also try it on a persons page like pensive pony's, but not sure he'll look so fondly on that. Unless he likes the site.

    Like sr20detdog (OMG... o_O your name isn't picked up by spellcheck) said, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    Advertising on other people's youtube profiles without their permission is just going to aggravate people
    You could at least ask them to advertise (not sure how well that'd work, I'd imagine you shouldn't get your hopes up about it) for you, but don't just start posting it up on their page.

    I'll ask Pensive. My hopes aren't really that high, but it's worth a try. (Rhymed :derpe:)

    Well if anyone's going to advertise in that way, you may want to ask Grey being the person who does most of the running of the site

    :ahh:

    Ok.... DON'T PANIC!!!!

    I already sent the message to him... BUT DON'T WORRY.... I didn't put anything in there that could give us a bad image.

    Uhmmm.... Is there a way that I can take back that letter?

    Well... I guess if more ask him, it could help? Like maybe 1 or 2 more. We don't want to be pushy. I also stated that it was alright if he didn't want to, and he could come by for a laugh.

    I was very professional-ish in the letter.

    ...Oh dear :ahh:
    Well you've done it now - I wouldn't hold high hopes but yes in the future you'd be better waiting for more of us to evaluate the chances of success - we do indeed want to prevent ourselves appearing pushy ;)

    SR - I know, fillys :')

    Well that's not very smart is it. What if were all wrong and Pensivepony agrees? It seems unlikely, but who knows what could happen?

    I wasn't serious about the suicide. But, it got my mind off the mistake. I'll be sure to wait for a response from yous guys from now on, and from pensive.

    I guess we can only hope pensive agrees. That or he has auto-block.

    Y U NO WAIT FOR ME TO STUFF DISCUS?

    On a serious note though, It's kind of "Spineless" (NO offense) to ask *squee!*ive or anyone else to promote our Forum, seeing that he isn't part of it (He could be, though). Best promotion could be custom made stuff, I repeat. Comics, Videos, images, even these Smilies, all of this helps our forum. I strongly suggest we start actually doing something to promote ourselves. I started doing a promo video... you'll see later like till the end of the week what I'm about.

    Totally agree. I didn't think that we should rely solely on advertisement by words anyways. I just saw it as a advertisement strategy along with the others.

    Right now we are working on the UBER COMIC... But we're not making much headway. But we're brainstorming. Also, I'm not saying we should just rely on one comic. We're going to have to keep popping them out, as with anything we use as a lure.

    ...Yep, ponies are like fish... they bite anything :p
    I'm happy to see that you agree with me.
