You just need to be selective about when and where you post. How often do you see me post in SatAM-related threads? I haven't even watched the 2nd Season, I can't have a very informed opinion can I? So i just don't post there, but for different reasons to why you wouldn't post in some Archie thread.

I think the big question that's not been asked so far is *how large an increase do we want* this may be a relatively inactive board but I think there is a real sense of community, rather than a 1000 strangers just posting random crap every few seconds. And I don't think anyone here wants FUS to become such a monstrous behemoth like say the Sonic HQ boards do we? But still, having more members wouldn't be a bad thing, as long as we stick to the spirit and form we always have (i.e. "adjusting the rules" for a larger board wouldn't suddenly mean that 1337 and Spam and off-topic posts were ok everywhere) we can still be FUS.

Youtube is where I watched Season 1. I got to Game Guy and Dulcy pissed me off enough to stop watching them. I haven't got around to it again yet.

Plus I think everyone who reads the comic knows of the show.
I hang out on Deviantart alot, and one thing I noticed among fanart of Sally or whatnot is how the artists talks only of their comic incarnation. A lot of the comments on the picture reflect that too. They may have 'heard' of SatAM but they haven't actually watched it. They judge the characters (esp Sally) based on Archie. Maybe having them come to the board will teach them about the original source material of SatAM.
Then again, some of them are really childish (I guess, cuz they're children? lol) and I don't know if I want the board overrun with flamerific Archie fans O>O I guess they'd get booted pretty quick though.
Rayzor mentioned a lack of fan-things, and I agree. I remember in the old days people would post their fanart and they would get lots of replies. The contest forum was never jumping, but it used to be active once upon a time. Nowdays... I remember seeing the fantastic artist Cionex posting some of his fanart and he barely got any replies. I don't think it went beyond 2 pages, whereas in the old days there would've been alot of encourgement, replies and so on. For a while now, I've felt like people here no longer care about the fanworks of SatAM; there is no creative enthusiasm at all. It's one reason i've been debating leaving this board (another is that all my friends from the old days aren't here, or barely post anymore) I would definetly like to see more creative encourgement happening as Razyor suggested.

While I make no secret about my dislike of the comics, this isn't really a bad idea. One of the reasons I don't visit this forum much is due to the lack of activity. Of course, the downside to this is I'd have no idea what the Archie comic fans would be talking about. Oh well, more activity and members means the possibility of making new e-friends! That's always nice!

Advertise. How... I'm not to sure yet. But maybe ask members here to add a link to FUS or a small banner inside of their sigs on other boards.

Or you could do some crazy stunt while wearing something advertising the change to FUS. Now how can we get the media's attention...

How about something that has to do with facebook? I would not mind adding a few links on FB. And those Fan Pages...I am SURE we can do something with that.

Hmm... Well... As I'm one of the folks without access to the comics, I really don't have any opinion on them anyway... That said, it's always nice to have more people to talk with, as long as it doesn't get to the point where there're too many people trying to talk at once... As I've seen happen elsewhere, new people will likely flood in and those who aren't serious about being members of the community will leave when the novelty wears off. Seems like a winning idea to me...

Considering FUS has always had a mix of Archie Sonic discussions, reviews, flame wars and the odd fan fiction/art, I can't see how this new move is gonna change very much other than making it official on the main page 'we have Archie here too'. But, hey, it's better than doing nothing at all.

As an Archie fan myself (though I like SatAM as much if not more), I always thought the site was pretty accommodating to us. From what I see, there's quite a bit of talk in the General section on Archie. But I really don't see any harm in sticking something on the home page that acknowledges Archie comics.
