I hate to sound this trumpet, but activity is starting to lower, and I'd like for all of us to be able move forward at a relatively steady pace. Mostly, I just want First Squad and Second Squad to be keeping pace with each other so that neither side has to wait for the other when the time comes for all of us to regroup.
So, just a friendly reminder to keep up the pace whenever you get the chance. I know real life can be a bitch, so remember, if it grabs you by the balls (or the shoulders in Wilkas' case), just let us know.
Also, has anyone heard from Mstislav? He needs to post.

I have not, but his last login was April 14th according to the activity report in his profile - which is 8 days after the previous post in C deck. Might help if you send a mass email to all members addressing the level of activity. Might catch some peoples attention.
Also, has anyone been advertising on Proboards Support?

I'm still here as well.
I'm not lacking time to post as much as confusion about who is posting next. If I'm up, I'm sorry for the hold up.

Davis you can post if you wish, I'm still in contact with Durant outside of the RP and can keep him up to date on what's happening.

Yeah, go ahead and post if you wish, Davis.
I advertise on the Support ProBoards as much as I can, but I won't lie that I haven't been disheartened a little by the fact it doesn't appear to be attracting very many people. Nonetheless, whenever I get the opportunity I bump up the thread.

Technically, I can't. According to the ProBoards rules regarding advertising, only the Admin and Co-Admin can bump a thread or post an advert, and only if the Admin lists the other person to bump the thread. Apparently, if I were to let you, they could delete the thread entirely.
Which, in my opinion, is a really stupid thing to be a rule. But, at the same time, I can kind of see where they're coming from. I believe the purpose is to reduce clutter, or something to that effect.

Proboards Support does not generate much traffic.
I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to because I have experience in the matter.
I was the main admin at Yappa's for over a year (Along the lines of one year, four months) and advertising doesn't really achieve much results, and Yappas isn't a restricted role-play like this one is. I say restricted in the sense this is only a Marine RP where-as Yappas is more open. You're able to play either the Covenant, UNSC or Forerunner when the time comes. Under special circumstance (If they are present) the flood are also a playable species.
Yappas also had eight years to build up traffic, and after eight years of Halo game releases, novels and other media to expand its universe... the site never really garnered an impressive member count (At least from my perspective). I was Admin at Yappas peak. We have fifty members a day for nearly four months, and that was shortly after Halo 4 was revealed to the public. Halo 4 wasn't that good of a game (IMHO) and the member base actually died off after its release.
Advertising takes effort, and is never guaranteed results. I never thought it was worth the effort. Hell, I think the percentage was about 2.5-5% of the members actually came from the various places we were advertising on. Yeah, it was that little. Yet, we had a member base of fifty for four months. Halo games really spike the population of halo fans towards these types of websites but - unfortunately - most expect to play a SPARTAN and if they can't play a SPARTAN a Sangheili.
Advertising honestly needs a team, but there are so many places out there that require the Admin.
No offense, Durant, but you're not active enough to see this website become a role-play site like - say - MEU.
I wasn't active enough to see Yappas become a MEU like RP, and I was on at least 5 hours every day when I was Admin.
I can't honestly tell you what to do, but I can recommend you not to sweat it. RPs are better smaller anyways, less drama.
