So I was noticing on different places Advanceshipping has been slowly losing the activity that possible gen 3 remakes brought. So I'm starting this thread for people topit down places that might need a little boost in Advanceshipping.
Me the main site I use is Serebii, and I've noticed that the thread is about to die. So I was thinking this could happen in other places.
So this is for you all to put down places that might need a pick me up. Then we can check it out and help.
As I said earlier, one that could help is Serebii.
Feel free to post. I'll leave it to you now.

As it stands, the board is here just for people who are into Advanceshipping to come on and join, to partake in discussions both with and without said shipping. Ships do tend to die after long periods of time, but there will be people who still support it through fan-fiction and fan-art. We don't see a reason to go and actively help other sites that might be dying, or are already dead. Unless said by the actual admin herself, Wubbzy, then there is no reason to pursue such an endeavor.

@thatwiseguy, I still think we should help out the other threads. It gives a false perception of advanceshipping, we ain't dead yet! And it might encourage other people to get into if they see a strong activity level even though we havent seen May in years. It won't hurt to help them out. There's a word... self-fulfilling prophecy? No... that's not it. I forgot the word - STUPID BRAIN! But usually people accept the inevitable rather than being proactive. Being proactive is better than acceptance. But obviously if you're lazy, you dont have too XD And, I'll try to post there Seth! Serebii is close to my heart because it helped me get into advance, maybe it will for someone else too :')

That's what I said, I never said it is dead, but that doesn't mean it's active as it once was. It won't hurt to help the other forum/threads/boards, but the benefits aren't as big as you'd think. Advanceshipping in Serebii isn't big at all, even though it's still bigger than Negaishipping there. It's not about being lazy, it's about accepting that Advanceshipping is not as big and it's only thriving through fan-fiction and fan-art. Nothing more. It's the exact same way with Pokeshipping, except that's dead in the water and only the die-hards are keeping it "alive". Plus, many people tend to jump ship (no pun intended) to the newer ships such as Amourshipping, which is becoming one of the biggest ships on Serebii.

@thatwiseguy yeah I totally agree with you on the first part but still don't on the second. Even if it makes a small difference to someone, it's still something. I mean, it's small on serebii because people are fine with it. There's always ways to make it bigger. On another note... I hate TOUCHSCREENs

I mean, it's small on serebii because people are fine with it. There's always ways to make it bigger. On another note... I hate TOUCHSCREENs Anti-touchscreen people unite. Also what I was thinking, how many people from here originated on other sites? Imagine if those didn't have te Advanceshipping there, do you think you'd be a member here? I know a few people who (this is all within the past half year or so) saw people discussing it on places and thought they'd check it out. I came here because I was invited by someone on a forum, same with others. Though the other sites aren't as unpopular as it might seem. I'm going to use serebii since that's what I'm familiar with. Not including the recent inactivity in the general thread, the Advanceshipping is more active than all the other shippings, except for pearl, and the new armor shipping. Despite it being more active, it does have a few spells of inactivity, and if one particularly bad spell happens, it'd be gone and need a revive. Or maybe a revival herb. But if you look at fan work, we have the most. They are doing their shipping oscars, and out of every pairing, Advanceshipping has the most fanfiction this year. So even though there will still be people shipping it, my main thinking was to make the places more active to bring in new people. It'd be worth it to do a few posts here or there, if it'd bring in some new people, who can help out also.

If that's what more people want, tbh, I don't see the problem with bringing more new people to other forums. We initially were trying to do that, so I applaud you for doing your best to bring people there as well. It's not required, but for people who want to, I don't see the problem. I'll even try my best to post at serebii too. X)

If memory serves me correctly, didn't Advanceshipping won out as the most popular "Ash Shipping" on Serebii around last year in a poll? Many Advancers from this site who didn't even bother with Serebii originally, joined in to bolster our representation hah. Interesting times... Yes, very interesting, fun times!! xD Post challenges were always fun lol. xD

Yes I do agreed that advanceshipping is not dead. To throw out an idea. our advanceshipping community needs support by creating some discussion video where we talk about advanceshipping on youtube. The Reason is I noticed there's a thrend with amourshipping community using youtube a way to draw more people into their group.

Because of Him , May became the only traveling companion Ash doesn't have any chance with. Off course , Sometime the half cut Ribbon gives me hopes. Plus , Ash & May's color match ! Ash usually wear blue while May usually wear Red cloths. Both of them has a fully evolve Kento Starter and Both of them are very close to Max. May be , Ash can travel with May & Gary as a new trio with one fully evolved Kento starter each.

Given the fact that we want Ash and May to be together having Gary around could be trouble because he's so obnoxious. It could make things awkward

It could make things awkward If May going to travel with Ash again then there will be another person traveling with Ash & May. Gary actually make a better traveling companion because he's obnoxious and doesn't fangirl Ash like Clemont. So , The trio will be have more interesting group chemistry then XY group. Plus , if the series has a trio with Mega Kento starter then doesn't Ash , May & Gary makes perfect sense then Tireno , Shauna and Travor.
