[Discussion] More traffic.

Alright, we still need more traffic. Right at the moment the staff is only interested in helping if we can get more interest. Do you guys have any ideas on how to get more traffic? Post it here.

By the way, this is just ideas, no spam.

Right now i think we should:
-keep making MPGH animation sigs
-promote our contests more and think of prizes

What do you think?

The next contest will be much more organized. This previous one was more of a pilot. What will change:

-I will make sure all threads are correct, stickied as needed, and actually have the polls before I submit them... (lol, my bad /

)
-I'm thinking about buying a month of VIP and that could be first prize.
-Working on a way to tell if someone actually made the model/animation.. I'm currently using TinEye, but that only works up to a point.

Also, I'm thinking about making like a collaboration thing. Everyone can submit a bunch of models, and I can edit it into like a 3DMA Montage sort of thing. Or to create more involvement, one of you guys could edit it together if your good at it.

I just want something big to promote it. Not a bunch of little things. Little things are also good to have, don't get me wrong. I think making the animations are a wonderful idea! I just want something really big as well.

Any other suggestions? 8]

A hardcore animation might bring a lot people in, but that's a real project :/
I can do short stuff easy, but if it's more than a few minutes long it completely overloads my computer

How about a joint modeling/animation team, like the failsauce mod team?

I like the idea of a joint team. Actually, I love it. What if, hear me out for a sec. What if we take the best animators and make a like a weekly/biweekly animations series. And for modelers maybe create an epic, vast world, really detailed, and full.

Whatdya think?

Okay so here's what I think what needs to happen:
-We get the best of the best
-We each come up with a story line (that can be divided into 5 3min chunks, or 5 3min chunks, depending on how many people we have)
-choose the best story
-divide and conquer
-I'll putem all together, and upload to newgrounds/YouTube

Shabamfazzle! We got a smexy little show.

Gimme 15 min, I'll make an application thread. :]

I may have to wait 'til tommorow to see it then
I'll check it out later if I fall asleep

Actually I'll prolly make it tomorrow when the contest ends. That way, we won't have too many stickies.

Ah, good idea.
I'll see you tomorrow then

Ideas, just for you, just for now
-VIP for contest, and like with the SOTW, advertise it on other sections(officially ofc).
-Also, I still think a custom usertitle would be good
-If you made something big, send it to me, and I'll edit it with AE/Sony Vegas(Depends what I need), add sounds, and share it on General.
-Free model releases would surely be cool
-Tutorials FTW
-Get some famous people here
-Share programs
-And of course do what CrustyObama did with the advertising in his sig.(I suggest everyone posts/updates the same image, so people will realise it's a big thing
-And do what Jack did with the fake hack messages in his sig

Uhm, this is a "short/quick" list of my thoughts.
