Please Help Support A Growing RP Community

Now not sure how many RPers watch me, but I figure that even those who don't likely know people who -do-, so this isn't a wasted effort.
This is in regards to an RP community that's run and hosted by my ex-girlfriend,
sinestra (whose since left FA permanently, as of the break-up). Despite her sentiments about me, I've never once bidden her any ill will. I've respected her desire to not want to talk to me, and have left her alone, as she wishes. But every now and then, I've still kept tabs on her RP site.
Why? Because regardless of how badly things ended between me and her, I still harbor a great deal of respect for what she's trying to accomplish through this site, and I can't, in good conscience, stop supporting that cause, just because she hates my guts over a split-up. No, I'm not trying to garner favor from her. If she still resents me for what happened, that's completely within her right. She can go on not talking to me forever, if that's what she wants. But even still, I'm going to do my best to help her site flourish, behind the scenes, so that I stay out of her way, for as long as that's what she still wants. It's a damn good site. And she's poured a lot of time, effort, and financial resources into making it the best that she can, and I feel that regardless of how I disagree with how she handled things when we broke up, it's a cause worthy of support. My feeling scorned can't keep me from doing the right thing.
That being said, I've slowly been noticing a decline in activity on the site, and a severe lack of new members. Literally a WEEK has gone by, in some cases, where not a single new post or bit of activity will spring up. The chat is silent for days at a time. Some even seem like they're losing interest and want to leave. THAT is the last damn straw, for me. I can't, and won't, sit idly by and watch her dream dwindle away to nothing.
This is the URL for her site:
http://merp.grou.ps/home
It caters to any and every sort of RP niche you can even begin to imagine. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Halo, WoW, Guild Wars, you name it. Even anime stuff. Hell, it's even furry-friendly. It's a fantastic site that deserves to flourish and prosper, into a community where all RPers can find refuge and other fellows to RP with. It's a true haven for those who desire a creative outlet, among others who share their interests. It could become something truly great, but it needs help. It needs support. She's one gal with a small staff, and she just can't make it happen on her own.
So if you or someone you know like to RP and have been looking for a community for [Insert Franchise Of Choice Here]-related roleplay, then MyStory is THE place for you. Seriously, you'll make this bearwolf very happy if you do.

To give an example, let's say some ex-friend were to tell me they never want to see me again and storm off. If right as he/she were leaving they were to trip and fall, I'd -still- rush over to help them up and make sure they were okay. I don't feel right giving into the common self-justification of "well, they were a dick to me, so..." It's just not in my nature.
If i were to give into that same rut and be as resentful and nasty about this as her, how does that make -me- look any better? It just becomes two people handling the situation badly. Two wrongs don't make a right.
