Fanpop Question

So many abandoned clubs...

I've joined clubs centered around my favorite subjects, and some of them have more than 1000 members, yet they have very little activity. It's almost sad. These clubs have become like ghost towns, attracting the occasional tourist, but never anyone who stays to keep the clubs active and thriving. Is there any way I could help revive these abandoned clubs without posting "Join This Club" everywhere? That method always came off like spam to me.

You could try starting some type of game in the forum. That might possibly attract people who were otherwise bored with that club? Good luck...

A contest is a good way to get some activity going - you may need to advertise the contest in different clubs - for instance if you are trying to get activity on a hot actor - posting the contest in the Hottest Actors club. Invite your fans personally, as well as the fans to the club you are trying to get activity going. I have been thinking this over myself for some of my clubs. Please let me know how it goes, and I would like to be invited to participate in contests for clubs I am interested in.

Possibly you could make comments on those clubs asking members to be more active. It doesn't always work though. And if whatever the club is for isn't currently ongoing, the club is going to be quieter - especially if it's for a series which finished years ago, or a character who was killed off etc. There's no new material to talk about or make fan art or fan videos from.

Also contribute more yourself, in the hope that others might get inspiration from that.

yes, the idea of doing a game is great but before you do that yo should do a poll asking the others to join your game. Just to let them now

Do you mean a poll asking people if they want a game/what kind of game they'd want? Also, you could mention the new games on the club's walls.

of course, or a poll like "Are you interested in participating in my icon/picture, fanart, etc; contest/game?. And write the link in the comments

Creating fun polls are amazing ideas and creating forums are also inviting ideas.

Post things yourself, obviously, is one way. Try for things that are either popular, so other members will come to look at them, or interactive like a poll or a forum.
