For those who don't know, most of us are in the middle of exams right now, so 0.3.2 bug fixing might take a while. Rest assured it's still going though, and activity should pick up considerably around June when everybody finally has free time again.
In the meantime, it might be a good idea to generate a plan of action for outreach. In the past it's been a bit half-hearted in some regards, but this time we could be looking at promotion from DarkEdgeTV and even Scott Manley.
So, what I want from you lot is a list of suggestions for places to promote Thrive. Generally these would be forums with individuals likely to appreciate this sort of game and ideally have the skills to contribute to it. Be aware of rules though - if a forum forbids posting advertisements, we're clearly not going to post there.
And for the record, we'd prefer people to not promote us anywhere until 0.3.2 is released.
Suggest away!

As of right now I think our outreach is much better than it was in the past. You already mentioned Darkedge TV and Scott Manley are going to provide plenty of help for our outreach. The only think I could suggest is reaching out to additional YouTubers, or using the Thrive YouTube channel to post progress updates.

Since DETV did a Disturbance in Spore, among other things, she is a great candidate to be called upon to show beta gameplay.
Also, we could put links to Thrive / Revolutionary Games on our signatures in other forums, so we can get some random promotion. Remember to put that it should be shared and put in your signature if you like it.

DarkEdgeTV is one of the YouTubers who's expressed an interest in making a video promoting us, and we've been speaking to her in preparation for it. So yeah, we're way ahead of you there.
That sub is relevant to us, but is pretty small (22 subscribers). It wouldn't hurt to post there but it won't get much attention.

So I tried really hard to come up with an idea for this. First I thought, "Oh they should get something on IndieDB going." Half way through typing my post here, I decided to look at IndieDB... Next thought, Facebook! Yeah already done as well. Well how about a Wiki page.... Wow I'm bad at this.
So then at work I thought, "Seems like they got their bases covered on the basics, they need some Youtubers." When I got home to post this thought Oliveriver had already commented about DarkEdgeTv.
Well my suggestion is TwitchTV, I'm not going to check to see if there is already anything there, I know its not the best idea, and I'm not really even thinking it through. But there I came up with a suggestion. ^_^

Well they could update the IndieDB page! It's been years hasn't it?
Also do you mean like a livestream?

It was the only suggestion I could think of. But now that I think about, they could livestream the game, or even better livestream some of the development process. Mojang did a 48hr livestream for one of there Humble Bumble projects (I think it was that). I was super boring, but they still got thousands of people watching it.
I had a game going on IndieDB for a bit so I understand the basics, that is something I could take on and update it. (If they want me to take on that responsibility?)
