For the record, this is the only GiTS forum on the net correct?

I went through a few. Look pretty hollow and most posts die off in 2007-2008.

There needs to be an outreach from us to have those members consolidate and join us!! Maybe we join that forum and PM every one of them to come join. They may be feeling lonely and willing to join! Which is also nice if AI spruces up the layout of this forum.

Just a thought! :wink:

From across the gulf of cyberspace, I felt drawn to this forum. You may all rejoice in my coming, stories will be told and songs shall be sung.

..

Not really, I'm not that egotistical! but I'm new. You guys worry too much, how active a forum is is mainly down to the subject of the forum, and ghost in the shell unfortunately is a rather esoteric subject.
I think you'll find a new influx to people if another film or anime were to be released, and god forbid.... the live action movie! imagine the type of fans that would infect the forums in reaction to that :)

Looking at the title of this thread and having watched too much True Blood recently ... I have the answer! Just make GitS into something vampire-related, and the forum will be so packed we'll wish we had the freedom of sardines. There might be a little bloodletting, I suppose :twisted:

haha, I like it! However are vampires still as popular? I mean the Twilight series has lost some steam since the last movie and there are not as many "tweens" these days I think...

We could wait until the new Transformers hits - I mean, cyborgs...robots...this will mix up nicely 8)

This site is first on the google search if you type "Ghost in the Shell forum." But because of the general slow pace of releases and lack of mainstream advertising and the like, GitS seems something seasonally popular.

Of course, you guys *could* try making a GitS universe RP story offshoot forum. Those generally retain a userbase long after the popularity of the source content has faded.
"If I believe I have a ghost, I will." Is this true? That's quite a controversy.

"Marto's still around. I linger. Patiently. Smile"

You're not kidding, I remember you from my first time around here like 9/10 years ago. Think you'd not long joined not long before I left (not that I'm suggesting anything). Of course I had a different username then, alas I have been reborn into a new shell.

Pretty sure I've taken my old avatar from the gallery though. For some reason I couldn't seem to upload a new one.

Jeff, great idea about the vampire Gits cross over. Section 9 would make short work of team Edward!

Love the idea about fan fiction/art etc

mmmm now to write the next movie!

An easy way to let people know about the site would be a face book page, doesn't have to be anything fancy, just info about the site. If we get users to like it or people search ghost in the shell on FB it should bring in more people. Any of us could make a quick page, of course, not without permission though! :wink:

Well met to all! I dunno if i qualify as new blood - I apparently registered on this forum sometime in the dim past - but I honestly don't remember when. Email addy hasn't changed in twenty years, and it was still valid, so there you go.

As for how i rediscovered this place, I was referred by a current member.

I might suggest mentioning it to your crews, wherever/whatever you do for fun. I game, and I build models, and I will be telling folk like myself the stores I go to as appropriate. And my gaming group, of course.

Welcome (back) LordGrise! As you can see, this forum has some cobwebs and tumbleweeds, but a few of us like to check in on things and keep the interwebs up to date with new GitS thoughts and events. It still is chock full of good reading.

Hoping the upcoming film with generate interest.
