Ok, I am fed up!
MIST was started, and it was promising. But, it seems that MIST is slowly decaying into nothing!
Is this beacause the holidays have gone or something?
Or can no one type at night?
I think that we should start a campaign to get people to MIST somehow, I want new people! And get them to have MIST as their 'Home' forum. I think it would work better as a after dark service as well, a 24/7 forum not just at night. Thats the problem, MIST restricts.
So who's with me on making MIST successful?
I don't want to see it die!

sounds good to me.
Hmm..good ideas there, 'specially the gaming tourneys, always attract people. What do you mean by "real life" ones? LAN parties, console sessions?
As I sit here at the start of a new day after reading plenty of MIST posts I get the feeling that you all want MIST to work. Thanks to all of you that have expressed they like the MIST banner - I designed it! Nice to have positive praise. There seems to be a chicken and egg situation.
In order for my boss to promote this forum it needs to be popular (as far as I can tell), but in order for this to be popular the site needs more promotion! Hence our dilemma (excuse spelling - it is late!).
So what do we do?
1) Repost the banner (at the mo it is off the site) as it seems to be liked
2) Try and place it on other popular sites
3) Use the same design to advertise it in the club mag to generate a strong and recognisable image for the forum.
4) Design follow up banners and ads in the same style to generate a strong and recognisable image for the forum.
5) Design a banner for FOG forum (not one at the mo as far as I know)AND MIST on the same banner as to increase peoples awareness of FOG and then also MIST (get more awareness to people using FOG to know about MIST - they will recognise the FOG wording then think but what is MIST)
6) Seriously consider a slight name change from Morbid Insomniacs Short Topics' to 'Midnight Insomniacs Short Topics' as suggested by Dr. Duck. I did not use the first name on the banner for fear of putting people off. Midnight is friendly and is more of a signal when to start posting on MIST or switching from FOG.
7) Organise online gaming competitions once a month (for example) that start at midnight and are only open to recognised regular MIST members (and have a prize attatched like gameaday).
8) Organise a real world (as opposed to web) gaming competition (Saturday night!) that starts at midnight with a couple of hours of build up (possibly - have to think that one through a bit more)
9) Design a trading card game based on the images (send in photos) and personalities of the regualr people who use the site to be sold through our site and club shops (this could be reissued every half a year or year to generate people becoming regular users in order to see themselves incorporated into a professionally desiged and printed card game! - think of the fame and showing your mates!)
10) Go to bed as I've got magazine typesetting to do (oh - that one a note myself!)
Anyway, as you can tell I was inspired by the chance to design the MIST banner. I hope MIST will stay alive. So I hope these suggestions will help. Basically tell all your mates to get chatting at mightnight!

Heh, well done. I'm just sitting here kicking my pc in the hope that a motherboard will appear in the empty chassis next to me. No luck so far..
I'm calling out to other 'active' people. On the other forums.
Loses its...MISTyness...I like being around other morbid insomniacs, shows I'm not the only one..
