I'v just been thinking about a few things that could be added ormade fore the site to maybe attract the eyes of new members, or to appeal to old members to help increase activity, and to stay.
1) Have a sub board just for ideas and updates. That way, there all in one place, and easy to find with out getting mixed up with other topics. This could also be a place to have Updates listed, such as changed to profiles, changed needed, things added, or news about upcoming events, or events in progresses.
2) Find a Spriter and an Artist to make a map of the island. The artist could make an old looking map, and the spriter(Which should have some experance with mapping at least). This will allow new members to get an idea of the islands lay out, and old members an idea to the lay out of the new island. There could also be blanked out or blackened areas of the map, for 'unexplored/uncharted' or 'forbidden' zones.
3) Have events once a week; They do not have to be RP events, but can rather be contests. An example could be three members are asked to write a short story or pome on a topic, while the rest are asked to vote on which is the best. The winner could get the option to add a new item to a character of theres.
4) Make the discriptions to each zone more detailed. Some people could be confused at what is and what is not in a area. Simply include in each something along the line of "Includes forested areas, Lakes, Sandy areas with ocean access(beaches), and small mountains."
5) Some people might be light sentive, or have bad vision. Because of this, they might not be able to see bright site skins, or be able to view dark skins. Because of this, thereshould be three skins for the site. one useing darker colors, or cool colors such as dark blues, shades of gray and black, and other drak colors for those who are light sentive, one with neutral colors such as oranges, green, soft purples, soft whites or white varations with nutural shades (Eggshell or Baghe) for those who are light sentive, but seea colored back ground to read. For those who need bright colors to reed, one with pinks, bright blues and reds, white, and other bright colors should be used so they may read (Such as the one being used now)
6) Create a Pokemon Academy YouTube Channel. Members of a certin rank could have access to the profile, and be allowed to add videos such as sprite videos, PA related animations, PA related Skits which they act out (Such as a 'This Is STARFALL!' kick of a person). Promotional videos can also be added by staff to attract members from an youtubefollowing that is created; show people were are more then just a site, were a comunity.
7) Add a sprite work shop. There is a large spriter fan base, so it could attract new members, while allowing old ones to get custom works done. Also, it allows any spriters on the group to show off some of there skills.
Just some ideas ^_~
