The site itself has actually been around for almost four years now, but Skyrim compatibility didn't come until about four and a half months ago, so in a way it is new.

I would love to, but I'm reluctant to do so because I don't want to be deemed a spammer. If I recall correctly, Bethesda's Official Forum does not permit users to have signatures, so simply getting active in the community forums with a character's Stat Card in my signature to attract users' attention to The Elder Stats isn't even possible there. We haven't yet been able to successfully break into Bethesda's Official Forum community due to this fact, and we haven't even been able to touch upon the Nexus Forums community as of yet. I fear that creating a topic to generate interest would be immediately targeted as spam, even though the site is useful for all fans and would likely be welcomed by many. It's a quandary for sure.

That would definitely be nice, but we've asked the UESP for something similar in the past and were denied (that was, however, some time before The Elder Stats was revamped back in August of 2012 with Skyrim compatibility added). I would think that a site as large as the Nexus community would not think much of such a small community here, even if the idea is a pretty cool and useful one.
I appreciate your suggestions, by the way. I'm not trying to shoot them down at all, I'm just trying to iron out the kinks so that we can build a more effective plan for breaking into the crowds on Bethesda's Official Forum and the Nexus Forums, and other active sites like it.

Thank you for your help! Every effort counts.
