Just a silly example:
Users creating new RP games would like to be reviewed by sites granting them also visibility. So they would search google for something like "RPG reviews", to see which are the most popular RP sites.
Now Suppose we will launch some dedicated page to RP games reviews. Such a page into the current domain, known to search engines, would more likely be placed well in results.
By try to place the very same page on any other unknown domain... do you think it would pop up on top the same way?
What i was pointing out is the current domain would be stronger in proposing outside whatever we will do new.
It's not about getting hits, it's about getting even more active users. I mean, users looking for a good place to DO and SHOW things.

What about making a shorter domain just a redirect to the current? Then the result would be the same? And the shortcut would still be in place

Everything could be done, but I'd like to hear what other member thinks about this, by keeping in mind also the "popularity" variable i'be pointed out.
My opinion is it should not be done: any link to one domain is a link less to the other one. Having redirects would simply weak down both of them. In a really ancient past we faced the very same problem because the popular link was the "alex.ombra.net" address, it took 3 years to disappear as google's 1st page results evenif we completely redirected anything to the new chras-project.net domain

Well either way, I think we should keep the ideas coming. Really brain storm it up. Considering we have the resources to make this old community into something very awesome, I think we should just brain fart until we come up with some solid ideas!
On a side note, my lap top just died, and as I was going through the hard drive before I found your wedding pictures, Alex. I was like why the f did I save these!?) Lol

I think having charas.net re-direct to charas-project.net would work best. That way, people have an easier time with it.

I'm late to this thread, and I admit to not reading more than the first page, but I know the feeling you're talking about. I always thought it was just me, though, and not Charas, especially after coming back and seeing how many people were still here. I guess I'm still not entirely sure which it is, but there's one thing that always sticks out in my mind. Remember the Chain Game? That was the best thing I ever remember being completed, and it was a group effort. I really think someone should start something like that up again. It doesn't require too much of a commitment from anyone and all the little bits that people do put in makes a decently lengthy and fun game.

Unfortunately, the last Chain Game attempts were in vain, for none has been completed, though I suppose it could be worth trying again. Maybe even revive one of them, like the SteamPunk one.

Also, the Community games never come anywhere near completion... People always end up losing interest, and disappearing.

I quote Sai.
At the end, charas itself is the result of a community job.
Started by one person, first 15 resources made by 2 persons, ended with 32686 resources created by... well
read here
and wait for the page to load fully
There's a first time for everything, the army is rising up again!

Vaguely relevant!
Sai'Kar says:
There's a severe Mid shortage.
Mid says:
<<...I just don't post.
Because either Kijuki or someone trolls my thread or someone's posts.
Or I suggest an idea and it gets shut down <<
I'm like -.-;;
Honestly, I think Charas should be more open to other RPG makers >>
Or forms of art. <<
Sai'Kar says:
That's what we're in the process of talking about right now.
Mid says:
...I SUGGESTED THIS A YEAR AGO
Sai'Kar says:
But it's stalled into talking about how to actually code that and nobody really seems to know.
Mid says:
WHO THE HELL IS STEALING MY THUNDER NOW?!
...No one knows how to make new forum boards?
Sai'Kar says:
If I tell you, are you just going to rant about it? >_>
Mid says:
Or rearrange boards? <<
...Maybe.
Sai'Kar says:
They want it to be some sort of gallery that you upload stuff to and people leave comments for.
Mid says:
...I SUGGESTED THAT
WITH THE GODDAMN PROFILE ****
Sai'Kar says:
http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=27467.0
Mid says:
AND BEN DID SOME INVISION BOARD PROFILE ****
AND I JUST FACEPALMED
I was implying that people should have their art work in their profile.
Goddamnit
Sai'Kar says:
You're such a graceful loser ^_______^
Mid says:
I'm just a whiney bitch.
<< Who is unappreciated.
/me cries
Sai'Kar says:
You are absolutely the best whiny bitch ever.
Sai'Kar says:
Have a Myrin face
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Art/MyrinFace.png
Sai'Kar says:
!
Who's the old one that's losing their memory now?!?
HINT HINT ITS NOT ME
Mid says:
SHUTIT
Sai'Kar says:
Maybe I should tell you that it's YOU since you can't remember this sort of thing!
But seriously
Jump in, start swearing, claiming you said this a year ago, etc etc
Mid says:
lOL
NO
YOU DO IT
Sai'Kar says:
It's all good. We love it when you do that.
You're better at ranting than I am.
Mid says:
YOU. DO. IT
Sorry telling some *** to shove his religion up his *** politely
Sai'Kar says:
... you have the capacity of being polite?
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
...>> Well...I'm a mod lead on another site.
So...I kind of have to set an example.
Sai'Kar says:
You're a mod LEAD?
You! Example! Bwahaha
Mid says:
...<< yes.
...DON'T LAUGH ;O;
Sai'Kar says:
I think you're awesome for a lot of reasons. You always jump to my defense even when I totally don't deserve it.
But it's hard for me to see you as a role model for internet politeness.
Mid says:
YOU USUALLY DO
LOL
DUDE
You and Osmose speak again?
Sai'Kar says:
Not really
He probably still thinks I'm an evil manipulative bastard.
Mid says:
<< Oh so he just speaks to you on the forums.
Got it.
WHATEVER
Sai'Kar says:
Yeah
Mid says:
He im'd me like...once to ask me to fix his password
Sai'Kar says:
Professional courtesy and all that.
Mid says:
pssch
Sai'Kar says:
Your face is a pssch
Mid says:
>=(
Sai'Kar says:
Yes, that face right there!
Mid says:
...SILENCE
And.,.
Go find some coders.
DON'T YOU HAVE CODER FRIENDS??
Sai'Kar says:
I do, but they're totally unreliable.
Mid says:
...
SO IS CHARAS
IT WILL BE PERFECT
LIKE
I LIKE HOW ALL THESE PLANS ARE BEING MADE
BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW...
NONE OF THIS **** IS BEING DONE.
MAYBE LIKE ONE THING WILL CHANGE.
MAYBE A NEW BANNER.
....NO.
THAT'S MAD MUCH.
Sai'Kar says:
Yeah, no kidding.
Mid says:
MAYBE ANOTHER BOT ATTACK.
/me nods.
Sai'Kar says:
Oh, they held a banner contest. They even chose winners. But nobody knows how to update the banner!
Mid says:
..........................LOLOLOL
Sai'Kar says:
It's so sad its funny.
Mid says:
Did no one think to ask Alex or Osmose?
Sai'Kar says:
They didn't, actually
Mid says:
...Goodfuckinglord.
You're using an outdated version of SMF, which contains some bugs which have since been fixed. It is recommended that you update your forum to the latest version as soon as possible. It only takes a minute!
...I thought he did update the site.
Sai'Kar says:
Well, the new version has some errors in certain mods we want, so he's holding off on updating to the newest new new version.
Mid says:
Oh okay.
So...I'll uninstall it.
<< >>
Jk
Sai'Kar says:
Eh
You keep ranting that you're an unpopular whiny bitch, but I kind of am too now.
So I wouldn't lose much sleep.
Mid says:
<< YOU SEEE
YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT I MEAAAAAAAAAN
Sai'Kar says:
Yeah.
Charas is full of people that don't care about the purpose of the site anymore. They just want to hang around and make crude jokes with eachother.
And I mean, okay, sure, community is great. But its not giving new people a reason to stay.
But nobody wants to hear it.
Mid says:
..And they have to make a new style sheet I think in order to change the banner
Sai'Kar says:
Oh, that's not hard.
Mid says:
Welcome to my song, Sai.
Sai'Kar says:
You can sing now eh?
Mid says:
Sai'Kar says:
I should post this conversation!
Mid says:
/me shrugs.
**** YOU CHARAS.
Sai'Kar says:
You're so shameless.
Mid says:
^_^ I wouldn't be me otherwise.
Also, I'll see if I can figure out teh banner thing.
/me goes into google.
Sai'Kar says:
Style sheets aren't that hard to modify if we know what we're doing.
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
Yeah but I don't know what we're doing.
Or if we have to upload the banners on the site
Sai'Kar says:
I'm actually posting it btw
Maybe I'll get myself fired or something. That'd be cool.
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
LOL
Do you know what will happen if we install a theme?
Sai'Kar says:
DEATH
DESTRUCTION
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
Lol
Sai'Kar says:
Not really
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
Oh well
Sai'Kar says:
You could try it anyway.
I mean, that's the worst that can happen? You break all the bbc code for like a week?!
What are the odds of THAT!
Mid - Ohhh I'm so mad right now. :3 says:
...<<
GEE
I DON'T KNOW
WHY DON'T I ASK BEN
>> << <3 U BEN
