Running a website has never been, and never will be, an easy task. Looking from the outside, it does seem easy peasy but the time needed to do so is paramount.
Unfortunately, the same applies for having it found and looked at.
No matter the venue to have RN out there, it takes time and an enormous commitment. We would all enjoy having youtube videos out there, radio shows out there, social medias out there but again, the ones going through the hoops know this: It takes time and not all have as much time on their hands as they'd wish to.
One great point has been made within this thread, we are not visible unless someone enters the right words. And even then, as Gordi mentioned, run Rogue Nation through search engines and it becomes a Mission Impossible galore.
Attracting new members is extremely difficult, keeping them as well. Rogue Nation has diversity, from different continents, which allows exciting point of views. Personally, I think that the approach has to be made on a personal basis. Members asking people if they'd be interested in looking at a website that stands different from the others, as per their ways of respectfully communicating.
When RN started, some of us would do so through the site that shall not be named until the pms became no longer private and hammers started falling on us, post banned or totally banned being the result. But it did work, for a while.
Then again, some of those members have left. It is tough to go from a website where you post a thread or a reply and get an reply within minutes to here, where you get a reply within hours or even days sometimes.
To keep a momentum of threads and comments going, we need people that again, do have a lot of time on their hands. Not everyone's case.
It's a vicious circle. For many of us, life happens. Be it illness, sick or hurt, work, personal life, time becomes limited and no one should be held accountable for that. Life happens.
So what is the solution?
Your guess is as good as mine. But I do believe that we should go back to basics; personal invites.
