You guys need to post more if you want this place to be active.
I have a proposition: respond to me. I'll try to respond to every reply I get in this thread. Hopefully that kicks off a discussion here.

Do you think advertising the board would have an adverse affect rather than a prosperous one? I know 4/m/ would be a bad idea to bring people in from. They've got a real shitpost problem.

We have users, they just don't want to post.
The main thing we need to do is let people know we're back. That can mostly be done on /v/ whenever they have a robot thread.

Not intentionally, a big chunk of the colony was re-directed to Sydney through Feddie intervention

It's still not okay to start glassing cities because muh spacenoid Independence.
I know the kinetic bombardments were something Tomino took from The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, but in that book they intentionally hit places people didn't live with giant moon boulders. Not major cities like fucking Dublin with space colonies that contained billions.

Operation British was meant to hit Jaburo, a military target, it was only due to the Tianem Fleet interception that the colony changed trajectory and start spilling debris over North America, the Middle East, and hitting Sydney. If the Federation didn't even intervene it would have hit Jaburo and Zeon would have ended the war without invading Earth.
>major cities being targets
In war everything is free game, Dublin at the time was the Federation's new political capital and thus Haman targeted it to sue for peace as Neo-Zeon is small and can't sustain a delayed invasion like the Principality could. Not like the Federation doesn't turn around and do the same thing like letting Operation Stardust succeed, gassing Colony 30, and attempting a drop on the Von Braun. And before you go >muh titans, that whole group had the backing of the Federation government until it became politically unfeasible to support them so they were as much responsible as Jamitov or Bask.

>In war everything is free game
The entire point of Gundam is "war is bad and destructive", there isn't any exact "good guy" in the story. The Feddies are authoritarian and Zeon is genocidal.
People are too used to narratives being black and white and having clear-cut heroes and villains
In The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, the book Gundam was heavily inspired by (right down to the Earth government being named the "Federated Nations" and both taking place in the 70's, though Gundam is in the 2170's and TMIAHM is in the 2070's), the Lunar colonists are very much portrayed as the good guys fighting against careless Earth governments who are draining all of the Moon's limit water supply to massively increase food production.
Tomino took this and removed a lot of the moral clarity from the situation In Gundam, the exact reason behind independence is nowhere as important, it's about the conflict. Saying "well it's okay, because it was war!" is literally the exact opposite point the show is trying to make.

Sure /clang/ works but it'd kind of defeat the purpose if they're here to talk about sexy robots when they belong over there. Unless it's about sexy GIANT robots.

The people there are generally interested in robots for non-sexual reasons also. It wouldn't be entirely bringing over a wave of "robot mommy/daddy please sit on me" kind of talk.
How about making a mecha thread on /v/ or /vr/ and mentioning us?

I already kinda told /clang/ we were up for claims, mostly because I'd rather have someone there claim here than someone from elsewhere that might not respect the robot.
I am also not confident in my abilities to run things so I don't wanna.
