Ah, well that's good to hear. I guess I was just worried over the almost complete lack of editors outside of you me and a handful of others in the last few days. No doom and gloom then. Yay.

I don't have any suggestions off the top of my head, but I'll let you know if I think of any.

I just had an idea. What if we do a editor drive such that the editor on here who brings in the largest number of new editors with 5 or more constructive edits gets some sort of prize? We can get the new editors to put a "recruited by X" badge or something on their profile. Biggest count at the end of a month wins or something. Just gotta make the prize a game off the Notable releases page or something. I'd even be willing to help chip in a bit to pay for that if need be.

What do ya think? I also like your idea of an editing competition.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to plan some promotion ideas, including something like 'best editor' award.

I've done some work yesterday doing some marketing yesterday, and our visitor count peaked quite a bit due to the new release content I was promoting, which you can see in the analytics.

Just wanted you to know we are all working hard trying to attract more people, and it's a hard task.

The next thing I am doing will be:

  1. Finish the games in the Fallout (series)
  2. Make big changes to the sample article layout to reflect the new templates
  3. Push a bit editing promotion, using the Fallout series as a 'sample'

I'm hoping this'll be done within about 2 weeks.
