Rolemodels

Not sure if you've known, but recently I've declared an official double major: Urban Planning... and drama. And yes, they are the two most relative subjects that I could've selected.

The point is, finding videos like this just give me the most motivation to get up and keep doing what I do... every single day.

Enjoy.

Hmm… I just went through the WBLM group again, and there doesn't seem to be much accessible information about who you guys are (besides the obvious). Do you think you could give me a quick run down of the culture behind WBLM? Coming up with an intro like that could also help familiarize new members with you guys.

Tell me about it… nowadays I find myself skipping the majority of the theories that pass through at any given time. Between my EE studies and my comic, I simply don't have the time anymore.

Regarding Luke as the cornerstone of WBLM, though, that model simply isn't feasible in the long run. He's only one human being, there's no way for him to keep up with demand. Hell, I only receive a fraction of his requests for my OotS stick figure knock-offs, and I can't keep up.

One thing I tried was running contests and drawing avatars for the winner. That quickly died when I realized that all my contests required some degree of artistic skill, and if anyone can manipulate photos, then they can draw stick figures, too.

In my experience, drawing in new users when your main points of entry are a Sponsors-only thread or a public group is kinda difficult. Of course, the very nature of LFTO is intimidating to a new user, so you might have an easier time with such a layout.

One thing I find that helps with bringing in new blood is setting up some kind of attraction: podcast, comic, or other novelty that encourages people to drop in and say "Hi! You're awesome!" If he agrees, Luke's upcoming commission system might be just the ticket for you guys in that respect.

But yeah, if you're community is entirely private right now and nobody's actively recruiting new members or changing things up, then it's headed for a slow death. If my backing helps, I'm definitely in your corner.

The logistics aren't too hard to manage if you have a large enough group of people, a number of willing regulars who will spend time in both the group and the thread.

You could also keep the discussion in the group and make the group public - now that group admins have the ability to censor posts and ban troublemakers, it shouldn't be too hard to manage a community there.

Might I recommend modeling your thread revival after LFTO? Keep main discussion in the Sponsors-only forum, but also run a group with various sub-discussions so that interested non-Sponsors can also interact with you guys.

mmm.. I dunno. Originally the very first thread was sponsors only and that left out a lot of nice folks.
