So I know a lot of us are busy with school, work, and life in general and it is hard to get on here sometimes. And I know winx club has died out in a lot of areas (well it did in the us for a while, thus my getting less interested in it a few years ago) but now that it is showing on Nick again and they are going to be redubing the first movie and the 4th season, I feel like winx club can get popular again.
It would be awesome to see this forum really active again and have new members who are just getting into winx to discuss the new episodes with etc. It makes me sad to see some of the last posts in threads were already months ago when there used to be new posts every single day.
Any ideas on how to go about doing this? Or am I just being too hopeful?

I think most if not all would like the forum more active. However I don't think it will work too well without a new season comming out or the movie/season 4 being shown in the US. As activity always increases around the debut of a new series movie, during the time people are viewing at and a little bit afterwards.

Advertising, looking for (active) affiliates could help. =)
Are there anymore big winx fansites left that would do advertising you think?
And that's true marty, but I'm sure the movie will air on nick sometime within the next couple months so hopefully we can get advertising or word out before and around that time.

Maybe we could advertise on Caution or A Thousand Fireflies? I'm not too sure what we would fall under since we aren't an RPG site per se, but maybe. I'll look into it.

Thanks! I think it would be a good idea to contact those websites too Sen, I just don't really know if I have the right away to do that since I'm not one of the owners and this isn't my site to really advertise.

I don't we're being too wishful. MC can definitely become more active again! Feel free to advertise on behalf of MC, and if you need any help with buttons/banners/graphics, please let me know -- I'd love to help!

We could probably use a new button or two since the one I have is like the original one I'm pretty sure. But I'll get on with contacting the websites Sen listed asap!

(Surprise, im still here)
As a non requested opinion... I really don't think that advertise in other sites is a key answer, there is about 2000 people registered here and almost everyday some more joins in yet still no major activity (and the the only activity always comes from the same people) so i think that there is a problem of "content" not of people flow... IMO

Well the whole basis of the forum is winx club so I don't really know why we would change the content or why so many people would be joining if they didn't like the content. I think the forum is pretty diverse with other categories that aren't winx related too so I don't know how else we could branch out more. Any ideas?

I wasn't suggesting a change in the content itself, just pointing that the lack of activity seems to be the lack of interest of the people on participate on the topics in discussion more than the lack of people in the site.
It seems to me that nothing motivate the users to post stuff in here anymore, and thats what must be changed, it is worthless to make a lot of people come here for a while if no one post anything.

It seems as though whenever I log in that there are 70+ "guests" viewing the forum. Perhaps, we ought to make the forum accessible only by membership? Or maybe, by invitation?
- We could host contests.
We're thinking of relaunching MC's website. Do you think that would encourage visitors?

Maybe it would be nice to make Magix Club Forum as Private? Only members can login to see all the topics? Maybe those guests who are looking for new information from Winx Club have to login to see the info. I don't know it's up to whoever owns the Forum. =) (Some topics here were personal..by an accident because it's viewed for the public, guests can see it)
I miss the wonderful original website of Magix Club. =/ It would be nice to bring it back up again. ^_^ Yep, it would encouge visitors too. DreamyWinx.6x.to or DreamyWinx.co.nr (2nd Domain in case 6x.to doesn't work for you) which is my site will be glad to add Magix Club as Affiliates or Advertisement. =)
Oh and having Affiliates would help as well.

That would be great if you could add the forum as an affiliate on your sites Kaylin and Rita!
I think bringing the actual site back would probably help a lot, as well as making the site not open since I also see that there are usually a lot of guests coming on.
As for the content, I'm not sure how we could motivate people to post more. Winx is becoming more popular in N. america or will be soon when the dolls are released and the movie sometime this year. But a big portion of the forum is not from N. America too so there should usually always be something to talk about or discuss.

I tried to send an pm to you guys (Kaylin and Rita) but I'm not sure if it went out. In case it didn't here is the only button I could still find from before for magix club if you would like to use it to link to the forum!
