I dunno, we're still getting a bunch of new members signing on most days, and it seems as tho many of those are pretty quickly hitting the boards & actively checking things out - plus, if you look at the '
Active Users' info on the Forum's main index page regularly, the numbers generally show up over 100 members on the boards for most of
your daylight & evening hours, frequently with 2-3,000 or more guests actively checking things out too. :thumbup:
So the '
slower posting' you're concerned about
might just be a perception; or possibly it's the newness thing you mentioned, meaning there's fewer of the basic knowledge questions (cos they've already found that in earlier threads); or maybe it is that it's starting to get colder over your way, so people aren't riding so much as putting their Spyders/Rykers into hibernation and preparing for their coming winter activities. I'd surmise that it's
most likely that more of the members (New & Old) are searching for, finding, and reading the existing threads & info already posted here and so not necessarily up to asking any more questions just yet. :dontknow:
And then there's the '
other' sort of social media sites that tend to get responses a whole lot quicker than Fora generally do taking some prospective members - altho it's noticeable that a fair percentage of our '
new members' are people who've tried them but were not satisfied with the responses they get on those sorta 'instant gratification' sites &/or the way things get swamped & lost very quickly on them; or they're 'former members' returning after some time away for whatever reason, often including those same reasons! :lecturef_smilie:
But really, I think it's pretty much a '
swings and round-abouts' thing - sometimes it's busy, sometimes it's not, but generally, it evens out in the long run....
hyea: If you dig back thru the historical threads, there've been similar concerns raised before, quite often in fact, even if not quite seasonally.
