Okay, here's the deal, all these conventions are coming up all over the US and even in other parts of the world too. Conventions for anime/otakus/nerds/starwars fans/comic book fans/video game players/et cetra. I was thinking anyone on this site that usuallyy goes to these conventions (like me and mooney), or wants to and can go to one of these cons that is located nearest to them of course, should advertise BHOD. Like dress up as one of your characters (the one one you most look like), or all of them if you can and it wont be too hard to get the costume and all that, and like have a sign with your characters name and SW:BHOD (maybe preferably "Star Wars: Brotherhood of Darkness" spelled out if possible) then the website, and you can answer questions if people ask about it and tell them what the site is about and why it is fun for you.
Anyways, I just came up with another random idea. To all of you that actually read this...... thank you for taking the time to read my crazy thoughts. and if any of you guys do this that is awesome because I plan to do this at least one of the days of con.
*Cannot wait to meet Vic and Troy (vic=edward elric of fma, and troy=abel nightroad of trinity blood* They are coming to con this year!!!!!!
Okay I'm done now....

I am a long time Convention visitor so doing something like this would be quite fun. I have no problems with going to my annual 15 Cons while advertising the site, I would have just one question though. What exactly would you like for anyone to use as "selling points" to anyone that is interested?
I ask this specifically because most likely during this events everyone under the sun tries to give out information on something like this. Also if everyone agrees to do this shouldn't we as a site (or at least the admins) have a special logo or something to add a certain spark to the originality of the forum site?
Otherwise I'm in for the idea....you have my vote.

Well say, you could even go in a group, that would be more appealing than just one person. Also as to what to say, you tell the about the site, but only if they ask. Like don't be saying "Go to this site, you'll have fun!" to everyone who walks by but just hold a sign with your characters name and the boards full title, and the web address, or if you want, have a sign with your chars name and you could, if you want pass out cards with the web address and and board title on it, that way they can keep the address with them to look it up later.
But yeah if they ask you about it just tell them about the site, how you sign up, how you submit a character application, and anything they should know about the rp to be able to function on bhod properly like whats going on, and be sure to mention it is a fan based roleplaying board based in the star wars universe. Also be sure to mention Cain since he is the overall administrator.

Number one rule of Conventions; Never go alone, the more the merrier. I understand what your getting at though, to tel the truth I have a friend that is one of the overall seeking of a small convention that about four hundred to six hundred (last year) but returning to my point what would you say to a informational and interesting panel. (A conference like meeting where you hold a presentation about any subject that you wish to talk about, normally last about an hour to half an hour)
She has been bugging me to hold a panel for something for a few years now and I would love to hold one on BHOD. If this were to take hold would/could you (or anyone that cares) tell me or show me a exciting battle or scene on that site that might be used for a somewhat sells pitch? Or just a few good examples of the great qualities of BHOD. With those I can give a better explanation of the site while adding that element of desire for Star Wars RPers. I say this because sadly there are many failed attempts of Star Wars based forums.

I don't know if this would catch anyones attention but we had the Black lightsaber before it came out in Force Unleashed.
I pretty much got it streamlined into the BHOD so other people could use it. I had so many arguments about it with mik and gall, was ridiculous. They still let me go about using it anyways because it wasn't hurting anything but it was very funny when i heard that the black lightsaber was EXACTLY how we had it on this board.
Other then that I'd say go searching the board for some Good Rps, and we are fairly active with about 10-20 people on per day.
If we get more members however we'd have to up the Admin number.

This sounds pretty awesome, though its actually something I've been thinking about lately as well. I've been workin' on a super secret project for the BHOD these last couple of months. (Going rather slowly because of poor funds) but if we did decide to make appearances at cons, it would be rather epic.
If I could ever get around to making my Moonfire outfit, and dying my hair black again, I'd gladly wear it to Florida Supercon or Anime Supercon, maybe even Chibi Pa.
Be really awesome that if in a couple years we could get a big group of site members to meet up at a con =D
