We also are growing in number of subscribers very slowly and I think the main reason is that no one can find these forums. I got 9 more subscribers by posting a message on the SEL list which referred to a picture I had posted on this forum. Got some more people here, but I didn't notice any of them posting anything.
We've only got a handful of people that post to these forums
I think to get more people posting, we need to simply get more people. I'm guessing here, but I'd guess that any forum, popular or not, has a pretty small percentage of the subscribers that actually post. The majority of people visiting forums only lurk and rarely post anything.
I think part of the problem is that unless we do something directly to get people to these forums that they are not finding them on their own. As a good example if you go to the
http://www.atis.net homepage there is no mention or link to these forums. How are people going to find us without a little help in pointing them in our direction:confused:
Spencer.... feel free to post a reply and let us know what you think. Were these forums just an experiment and you've lost interest?
