I'm not sure about how "right" using SE's community promotion ads against themselves is. I'd like to stick it to SE too, but this feels morally wrong.- However, here's an alternate idea, and what I plan to do. High rep users of a SE site that move here can mention that on their profile. Maybe that's wrong too, but it feels more like personal space than SE's space to me.
When top users stop contributing, people will often check their profile. If users have come to respect contributions from that person, they are likely to check out the new place they're at. If each of the top 3-5 users of a site do this, it will probably generated a considerable flow of users to here. You should reach out to these top users and specifically invite them to be part of the core group of an analogous new site here.- I just checked, and over 59,000 people have looked at my profile on SE's Electrical Engineering site. Averaged over 9 years, that 18 views a day. That's a decent number not to be dismissed lightly, especially considering they all deliberately went there.
