Mod Cooperative

Over in X-Project, which is a movieverse X-Men game based on the first two movies, we've run into the perennial problem of not having a lot of students. This crops up every two or three years - the students grow up, graduate and for whatever reason, we don't have a lot of replacements. We advertise fairly regularly (about once every two weeks) and push the student line, but we're still down to about eight active student PCs.

As players and mods of school-based games of whatever kind, how do you address this issue? Increasing the character limit is something that's been raised, but the general feeling is that it's a stop-gap method, since it's not actually bringing in new blood and just spreading the existing activity around.
