Dan has cut all ties with us, and no matter how many people contact him about coming back, it won't happen.
What would creating an entirely new forum with a different host do? We'd just put a bunch of work into it, then realize that the same handful of people who are still active on SPOTM came back. And that's it. You're complaining about how project-oriented we are, while at the same time, suggesting that we start a whole new project.
A Dan Brown fan club? No. SPOTM used to be a Dan Brown fan club, until he left us to die and went insane.
The real bottom line is:
The only way we will ever get new people coming to SPOTM is if Dan decides to start linking to us and advertising us again. Creating a new forum, or doing something like the Rejuvenation project will not. It's an extremely pessimistic outlook on things, but it's unfortunately true. The Rejuvenation Project failed because putting up posters with a QR code linking to some random forum is weird. Even if someone did decide to go to the forums, we're all talking about some YouTuber they may or may not have heard about, which is doesn't really make people want to sign up for our forum. We also didn't have the work ethic and manpower to do it.
Just my thoughts.

Like I said, if you can't get in contact with Dan, we won't get hardly any new users. The reason SPOTM started is because Dan endorsed us, and the reason SPOTM died is because he stopped endorsing us. So without Dan: no new users. I wish you the best of luck in contacting him, however.

We don't need an entirely new forum if we would want to do this. Just delete all the sections that are related to projects and triads and start screaming for Dan's attention again.

My main question here is why us? Why here? We have almost nothing to do with Dan. Make your own goddamn forum and promote it here. We are not that forum. We can join that forum, but we can not become that forum.
Also, getting Dan's bank pin isn't enough to get him interested

Get Dan to actually help, get admins who care, get less focused on HAVING to find a noble cause or make triads and more just let things happen. People have been saying that ever since Dan announced he would leave this place to its fate (paraphrasing). Please stop trying, and take your fanboyism somewhere else. This place is done for. Why is that so hard to understand for some people? And honestly, Dan can go eff himself for all I care. ALSO, you don't just "make a community" of the same caliber as Nerdfighteria... we're talking years of spontaneous community development for that to happen. Big difference between Nerdfighteria and SPOTM is also that the community creators never left it And the vlogbrothers have a status of informal leadership in Nerdfighteria that Dan will never accomplish.

Maybe Dan can, if he wanted, say something like "Hey guys, go to the forums to decide which chess piece to move next! (reference to his last video)" or something like that, and then everyone comes here, and the forums are filled with people again. But, it would be a fresh start for Dan, and a new forum for his audience, not really for us. You can't restart this forum (and when I say "this forum" I mean the poeple who are and were in this forum first), or, at least, we seem to have given up on that front. It would be Dan's decision, not us, and an entirely new forum (even if in the same web adress) not this one (even if the people who wanted to stay and be active again can still do that).
