Discuss other places to spread the word about these forums?
I think most of the Liveblog regulars are here now because of tumblr and the Nora post, has anyone linked this to reddit? Are there other places that the MSPA forumites congregate?

Wonder if Hussie would be too busy to signal boost from Twitter, or maybe even post a temp link on the News feed until things are fixed?

Are there other places that the MSPA forumites congregate? I've personally made a post on my Tumblr, asked the MSPA wiki's Tumblr to signal boost it, and also signal boosted it in the 3 Homestuck Skype chats I'm in. Someone spreading the word out on Reddit would be awesome. I am happily surprised to see this sudden huge influx of new members here! Great to have all of you with us.  |

I hang out on the Homestuck subreddit, I'll give it a shot.

I found the lack of MSPA forums during the End Of Homestuck utterly upsetting, so I went looking for some other place where it was being discussed; then I remembered the name of one of the most prolific writers on the forums, Googled for it, had a look at his Tumblr profile, and discovered this forum. That was you, Blaperile |

It reminds me that I'd actually been doing a similar thing to sniff out a few of the forumers but sadly not with as much success as you, haha! |

Another thing I think we should do: put a link to these forums in the wiki's news.

We should try to make an effort towards contacting the forum adventure authors so they get the option to set up shop somewhere their audience can find them. Gime and Ip already have a place to post Fortuna and Lucidstuck respectively and I've just tried to contact LuFa, but there's more authors around. Would anybody be able to contact Jack-Fractal, the author of All Night Laundry? He may elect to move to the site he was working on altogether, but if he doesn't know about the forums he can't tell the old readerbase he made it. Edit: I found out he has his own site already. Here: www.all-night-laundry.com/Still, if anybody remembers any FA authors, try to contact those. The FA section of the old forums was incredible and we should salvage what we can. |

Hey curiousfellow. Good to see some familiar FA names coming on. I'm glad some of the larger FA authors have found outside places to work, but yeah. we should def spread the word. I wish I knew more contact info for these guys.

I almost want Hussie to acknowledge the new forum in a newspost... but on the other hand, I don't want that because this is just a free forum and it'd probably get absolutely SWAMPED. Putting a link on the wiki seems like a good balance between getting more exposure and not potentially overlaoding the servers.

I'd like him to at least acknowledge there are troubles on the old forum.

Yeah who knows what kind of douchebags would show up on this forum if it's given more publicity. |

I wish I knew more contact info for these guys. Some people left their contact information on MSPAFA: I've tried to contact LuFa, Randomwriter, LikelyWarmCabin and NytroGlyde this way. I don't expect everybody to know everybody's emails, but if you know any regulars on tumbler or anything, shoot them a message if you haven't already. |

I found out about this site when I made a post on Tumblr asking about if the forums were down for everyone and someone mentioned this site in their answer. I think I could suggest it to anyone else who happens to be asking about the forums. Most people seem to have found their way here, though.

I found this site through a post on Tumblr circulating about what exactly happened to the forums. It's been going around my circle of FA friends, so hopefully they'll come here too!

I found this site through All Night Laundry. I follow Lufa's waterworks tumblr, so I'll tell them about this.

Thanks for making this forum, Blaperile! The ending would have been a lot lonelier without a real place to chat and discuss (apart from reddit).
