I was thinking, since it seems like people are dying one by one, that we should get a couple people to make ads for MT (whether it'd be on your blog, on Youtube or whatnot) to get more peeps here. I know some people will disagree, so I made a poll. This will all be with Rio's permission of course. C:

Tell me what you think but I still gotsta ask Rio lawl.

People are dying?

Somebody in this thread....

IS A MURDERER.

Yeah man some shady character is goin' around stabbin' them. Scary stuff.

Let's get to the bottom of this. *puffs pipe*
Mister Harwood, where were you on the night of the murder?

Nah dude, all we need are the regs.

Well, that's all well and good for you, but have you stopped to think about Rio? She has to pay to keep the site up and running, and without new members coming, site traffic will decrease and people wont want to advertise on the website, which helps to pay for it. Did you think about that?

Nope didn't think about it at all...what I thought about was advertising, and receiving in return a bunch of forum trolls. Not to mention the fact half of the newer users don't stick around. So...you know, *shrug* lol.

I'm pretty sure MT gets a lot of traffic anyway considering it's so easy to find it

just google how to draw manga and its on like the first page. in fact, if you google manga alone, mt is on like the 2nd page

New members don't stick around eh? What makes you think that?

Look at the members list a lot of people with under 20 posts and good number of people 0 posts

To be a bit more accurate, if you look at the entire members list:

-There are 28 pages of users.
-Of these, about 11 contain ONLY users w/ 0 posts.
-20 list only users w/ less than 15 posts.
-23 pages 28 list only users with less than 50 posts.

So, you know. Not sure how those stats compare to averages for similar sites though.

0 post? Then why did they bother to register in the first place?

Yeah, they probz get caught up in the moment of finding an awesome site with all their manga needs, soon their passion fades as it only being a phase they go through and they never have the time to reach the forums. I used this site like for 3 weeks before I joined the forums...

Yea I lurked for a few months. Although is it possible people signed up just to turn off the censor? Like, they still visit and read like guests but don't post?
