I actually like the options we have on RPG. I'm of the opinion that less is more, [@metanoia] because a lot of those xenforo sites have way too much coding for their own good. Quality of RP takes a nosedive when you focus on Quality of Formatting. That's another topic, though.

Outside of advertising on sites that *allow* advertising, topsites, and google algorithms the only real other options I can think of is getting the word around on RP circles via reddit, twitter, etc. but I'm not sure that would bear enough fruit to warrant giving it a try. Ultimately, as long as the pandemic is present we will have issues getting activity to stabilize and interested parties turned over because people are way too stressed to focus on leisure message boards. Those of us who can still focus on RP have a privilege there and we are a minority.
