So what youā€™re saying is, we need more moderators with children.

Way too wordy. Banners should be looked at, not read.

Not outside of Reddit from my experience of teaching and talking to zoomers.

We need todayā€™s nerds

I can provide text but I suck balls at making things aesthetically pleasing.

My assumption is that this will be placed at the top of other websites as an ad, right?

has advertising ever convinced you to join a discussion forum? is that the kind of people we even want posting here? people who click on banner ads?

Online advertising doesnā€™t work. The whole industry is a scam and probably a bubble ready to pop too.

If people want new users they need to create content that will attract them. Us talking to one another isnā€™t very compelling reading to people who arenā€™t us.

What sort of free thinking politically aware person is going to persuaded by a fucking advert? In any case theyā€™re probably immune to advertising, having learnt how to ignore it a long time ago.

If you create a place that isnā€™t cliquey where different people feel welcome, word should spread and more will come. Itā€™s a tall order now, though.

How could anyone forget the guy who deliberately started a massive fire in his own kitchen, then ran out screaming?

Though maybe you have if you think ā€œdiverseā€ is a good description.

Thatā€™d work.

I also third the idea of using fiverr.

Why do we want new users? Most of the joy on this site comes to chatting with folks with whom I have some kind of longstanding relationship or online proximity. Iā€™m not here for politics. I found 22 via poker, hung out in the politics forum a bit, followed some smart folks hereā€¦ Weā€™re basically a bunch of people who like to gamble and think weā€™re smarter than everyone else. How to you brand that?

NFTs, stocks, crypto, sports betting, political betting, are discussions/selling points to draw in people. Oh, and you need to be socialist or leaning that way, to fit in.

Have we considered that we may already be approaching full saturation of socialists who like to out-smart other people for money?

Oh, and yeah, the idea we find good new forum posters thru advertising, when we all hate advertising and block them ā€¦ I agree with whoever said above, it needs to be thru content creation.

If you really want new members ā€¦ How about an Unstiuck ā€œfundā€ of sorts. Some way of aggregating consensus picks. This is what Unstuck is hot on ā€¦ X coin, Y horse, Z stock, Cheney is out, Free money on Biden ā€¦

ETA: easily sharable graphic w the web address in it^^^
