It's getting kind of lonely here, everytime I log in, it's mainly staff. LOL

We need some more blood to spruce this place up..not exactly a ton of people, just more activity.

We may have some stuff in store to drum up new members coming soon.

I think it's growing and will continue to grow. We're up to 94 members already within a few months. Also keep in mind that this site was a spring board from OS and most of those members still post over there. It'll take time to build up the membership to several hundred.

And as the membership increases so will the post.

I agree but also remember that this is the most critical time for a new board. If there's stagnation in terms of membership or people posting within the first 6 months of operation then said board usually fritters away to nothingness.

I also agree that there needs to be more members and variety to the discussion. I think that if more hardcore OS'ers learn about this place and see that it's basically a looser version of OS then they'll post more. That being said nothing will beat OS in terms of the community it created but at least this place could be like a hangout.

I would definitely like to come here more often but everytime I do it seems like there isn't anyone here. Need to get more conversations going fellas or get some more members one.

Yup, your content is a strong piece on the main blog that you guys should use as your selling piece into the forums.

As I was telling Scott, it will take time for our small sites to really take off. It does get discouraging at times when no conversation is going on, but remember that the goal is to build a thriving community of regulars and people will come.

Remember, "If You Build It, They Will Come" ;)

You know maybe we should open up all the forums again for guest to see what we're talking about that way they might be more inclined to signup and comment on what they are reading.

Just a thought. :)

sometimes its nice having a smaller community because you start to get alot of non sense in here. I prefer to read strong opinions that make sense not people bashing all over the place...It is refreshing

Excellent point. As most of the posters here can see through the BS and fanboyism pretty quick. In fact one of the many good things about this site is that most of us own more than one system so opinions are not skewed with a fanboy slant.

By far, my favorite thing about this place. I love the posters we have here, all of them. I wish we had more discussions, but the ones we do have, are by far better than any site I've been on.

We all have our opinions, but as you said, most of us have more than 1 system, so there's no "blah blah better than blah blah".

Such a great environment, thanks everyone.

Guys, I'd be happy if this site could exist with the great foundation we have right now. Every member we have is a top notch poster IMHO.
