Well I dont want to see anyone get banned. Personally I dont have a problem with anyone visiting another forum. They are treating like adultery unfortunately and changing the locks while you're at work. Instead of banning and deleting people I would think they would ask "what has happened that this wave has started" and be taking steps to correct it.
So with that said, I would advise to post on the other site with caution. Meaning, dont intentionally do anything that would get you banned, like post about this site. I was banned and blocked on day 1 but that was due to the hit and run tactic of sending the PM's to everyone about the site. I expected that and was prepared for that.
As for new memberships. Quite frankly, we depend on you and everyone in the community to talk it up, pimp the site, spread the word and so on. The three people involved in starting and setting up the site, myself being one are just that, only three people. So lets just say that I can get one person per day to sign up as well as the other Admins.
Thats three people per day or 21 people per week. Not bad at all, that would amount to nearly 1100 people in a year. There are currently 158 members signed up here. Lets say they all get one person per day to sign up. Well, in one week they would have brought in more than the three of us could in a year. Over the course of a year, that would be well over 57,000 people. See where this is going?
Now, are you going to get one person per day to sign up? Probably not, by one a week or one a month isnt out of the question and those numbers begin to have huge multiplication factors after a short time.
That all said, I do have some incentives to 'encourage' people to get others to sign up. I need to iron out some details but I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. It will either help or it wont and if it doesnt I will move on and look at other things. So stay tuned for that.
The biggest thing that can be done for now is for everyone to just email their friends, talk to people and so on. So far things are doing really well, we just need not loose sight of why we are here and become complacent and end up like the other place.
