Not sure about the every thread part, but this thread does sometimes become silent. But I wouldn't call it dead; it gets busy when the chance comes. (And also, what Shiny Celebi said)

Well, maybe advertising the chat thread? This chat thread is dying. We can't let it go.

@Panu: Sounds pretty good.

Let's talk about marketing plans. We can advertise about the chat thread and its glory (?) to bring more people :D
Maybe I'll add a line to my sig xD

XD this place is on hard times just like the random messages chat. It's amusing how everyone is concerned with the place dying in both parts when chats don't pick up until the evening. I don't think lack of activity is anything to worry about, activity has been down across the board in all areas. I know lots of people are taking extended downtime recently. Come BW this place will be lively again.

I'm hopeful about it. This Chat Thread does come silent sometimes but someone always brings up a topic to talk about. Nothing to worry ^^

The fact that it's not out in america yet hasn't really stopped people from talking about it though...

After it's released, more people will be talking about it, I bet.

Yeah, that makes sense. Still, they won't be talking about it here. (Here as in the chat thread.)

It's not prohibited to talk about Pokémon games here...I've seen plenty of times that a chat about Pokemon took place here.

Yeah, but I think most people who come to the site because of black and white will be more interested in talking about it in the sections dedicated to that kind of stuff. While it's not prohibited to talk about it here, most people like using dedicated threads to discuss stuff, instead of the chat thread. (Otherwise the problem of not having enough people in the chat thread wouldn't exist.)

I guess you have a point...well, one thing's for sure...the forums (overall) will become more lively.
Although I really should blame my time zone for that, actually.

Not many people come on at this time of day...
Wait! I had an idea! If all of us put a link here in our sigs and post in the welcome threads for new people, maybe more people will come here!

Hmmm, if someone introduces this thread to newcomers that post in the Garden Grotto, that will surely bring more attention to this thread! :D
Nice idea, Megaman! :kawaii:

So the campaign to bring the chat thread to its glory begins! xD
...I haven't posted in the Garden Grotto (those greetings) for a long, long while, now that I think about it. xD

Allen Walker also PM'd me a link to someone's blog where they mad a big picture about all the people in the chat thread and asked people to join. I think that if everyone else did it, that would be really helpful.
@TheFlamingBooger: Could you not hotlink it? Not everyone can see stuff that's been hotlinked.

I just linked it in one of my previous posts here xD

@TFB: That is a pleasant picture to look at. It's one of the Gen V Pokemon that I really am fond of. :D

Maybe that's true, but the way I thought about it is that come Black and White our regulars will come back to this thread as well. We have quite a few members who actively participate in this chat thread, but it just so happens most of them are on a hiatus of some sort right now.

And by virtue of the extra spillover from new folks, we'll get one or two coming this way, even without advertising this place. Yeah most will be interested in Black and White discussion, that doesn't rule out a possible user swinging by this way, no? :p While I don't think the advertisements are completely necessary, you're more than welcome to do so ^^
