As some of you might have noticed from my signature (though probably not), I created a Pokemon GO Forum. I kind of abandoned it (or does anyone think I should keep it going?), as I couldn't figure out how to get word out of it and actually get people to join. It was probably terrible anyway. I just felt like trying. I'm just curious if anyone could tell me what I did good and what I should work on if I make a forum in the future (or if I continue it)?

P.S. Keladry14 is someone from Hogwarts who joined to see what it's like but didn't stay. Pokemaster and Pokemath2016 are both me. Pokemath2016 is my Pokemon GO username.

I think the biggest thing is that there were large and active Pokemon GO communities long before you created yours.

Yeah. I think now I'm just seeking advice on what to do better if I create one in the future.

That's basically my advice... If something already has a large and active userbase, you're most likely going to be unsuccessful creating an alternative to it. You usually have to fill some sort of unfulfilled niche to actually grow a community.

Hi, I am back. What's up?

Hi, I am back. What's up?

Hey, mate. Glad to have you back.

Hi, I am back. What's up?

Welcome back!

Hi, I am back. What's up?

The sky.

Thanks! How have you guys been doing?

Thanks! How have you guys been doing?

I think we've been doing well!  How about yourself?

I have been doing pretty good. A short summary is that i had a spot of abysmal mental health, but that has gotten way better. One of the  biggest things that have  happend to me or at least one of the things I am most proud of is I am now part of two real world government councils/committes in my local city government. I have gotten to meet a congressional candidate and my citie's mayor, both of which I geeked out over to an extreme amount.

Sounds like you've been pretty busy...what kind of committees are they, out of curiosity?

Yes I try to stay at least somewhat busy.
I will disguise the real name of most of the groups for privacy reasons, but the meanings are pretty much exactly the same.
The first committee I am on is M.T.C.Y.C or Mayor's Teenage City Youth Council where I am part of the mental health subcommittee(Not a formal subcommite but is effectively a separate section) I am mostly the guy who does the research. We are working on a mental health fair to raise awareness.

I also serve on The Healthy Sexuality Education Subcommittee which is part of The Mayor's Female City Goverment Council. I dont actually consider myself as a women, but they apparently they were glad to take Someone who is both a youth and a guy(well.... mostly a guy. Idk at this point what I am totally, I definitely have some feminine in the mix). I don't really do a lot in that Subcommittee except occasionally submit a few good ideas.

Sorry for the long post, lol. It's hard to describe local Goverment.

lol, sounds like some pretty interesting stuff though...we don't have any committees for anything like that around here.
