3. Other ideas anyone?

1. Many who seem to have disappeared actually do check in on the new TMF boards from time to time. Searching for a username and checking the profile gives you the answer by showing 'Last seen'. If there's someone you know who would love this place but you don't know to how contact, bringing it to attention by using a 'mention' (in proper context) would likely be welcomed.

2. (Opinion/experience from creating thriving communities from scratch.) When starting out, quality of what's written matters much less than fostering ongoing conversations. Eventually, you reach critical mass in active participants.

Even seeing a link, many (probably even I) would not believe it and ignore it

Interesting statistic: A link to this place was posted on Saul's board. As of writing, the post has 1400 views and the link 600 clicks. In fact, it's the most clicked link on the entire site.
