    We need to get these forums more active somehow, but how?

    I think it's partly because Sonic SatAM hasn't had any more series in a looonng time. A lot of the conversation here revolves around the Archie comics, recent Sonic games or general chat, with the occasional smattering of Bunnie adoration. I think the most effective thing you could do would be to introduce SatAM to a whole other group of people, and a large group too. Any ideas how to do that?

    a group of people? hmm...that will take thinking time...if you have Netflix or DVD'S you could show your friends(Youtube is the lazy way best mentioned last) problem is...if they like Sonic X or Sonic Underground alot they probably won't care too truely watch it with you...now it will definitly appeal to people who like the comics or have vague memories about it...maybe not new sonic fans who play the newer games but haven't played the older ones...it could appeal to those who respect the enviroment and have a good spirit and people who wouldn't mind being like an Animal-person for there is something mysteries about that in which we are drawn too...more so possibly than Aliens from outer-space do...you would need to study each person carefully to see there mind at work.

    Find people who have similar values to SatAM? It's a good idea to start. I'm not sure if you'd need to tailor a presentation of SatAM to every single individual, just find a reasonably large group of people with a care for eco issues, dark cartoons, familial warmth, anthro animals and the people themselves will sort themselves out into those who are interested in giving it a fair try and those who aren't.

    You you need an episode like Heads or Tails, introducing all characters of the show in a short but precise way.
    But I wouldn't use Heads or Tails since it's prototype-ish way is not a good example for SatAM.
    Ultra Sonic is an good example. It has all characters, even Uncle Chuck, tells about the aim to deroboticize everyone and the roboticizer itself, shows all characters in the way they work together. It just doesn't show Robotnik as good as some other episodes, but the rest is I think balancing this out.

    Yes - that was a lovely episode and a fantastic one to use to introduce others to the fandom.
