Expanding our Brand

What up, friends?

Your old pal what's-his-face here, just thinking about the next step for TE. IMDb killed itself, the boards split up, and it... kinda sucks. Everyone went off in different directions, to all sorts of different boards, and the unity is no more. It's the end of an era, and I miss it terribly. Everyday, I idly browse the internet, but I just don't have as many places to look anymore.

Next month is going to be a busy month. We have the new Trash Challenge to keep us active, and if the October Challenge was any indication, this one could keep us steady. I for one am going to participate, and try for at least the bare minimum to watch a bunch of video nasties I've never seen, because it's important to have goals.

My fear is that without IMDb, we wont have random users casually wandering into our domain. This is a website out in the corner of nowhere, so it'll be hard to attract a new userbase.

Part of me wants to scour the abyss of the other imdb replacement forums, to find the refugees who want to keep the spirit of imdb alive, but at the same time, I don't want to live out my existance riding the coat-tails of something that used to be great. Nome sane?

@hotwings had the idea of writing our url on cash bills, which is totally illegal and I don't encourage that. •WINK•

How do you think we should expand our brand? I've already mimicked the imdb feel almost verbatim, but even the replacement boards aren't as active as the source was. What is the world coming to, and how can we adapt?
