At first I blamed the time of year but it usually picks up. We have always praised the community when things were busy and humming along. What about when it's not? Being stagnant is not a good thing for a forum community.
One problem I know is that Kim used to pimp links to our site on other sites to keep fresh visitors coming and that no longer happens. Another problem has been the change of chat to smaller and less frequented networks (originally we were on a huge sex based one).
I guess I'm asking for your opinion and some advice. How can we keep the place we love so much fresh and inviting?

It wouldn't have been the first time this happened to me, Lilith! I have to say, the 2 or 3 times it happened, there were one or two guests on..... also, I logged on last week, and there were 5 (I think) members here, but only 1 "visible" ~ me!
Opinion? Well, to be blunt, I think it stinks! I take your, and others, point about the "pimping" on other sites - if I remember aright, it's how
I got here! Came for the stories, hung around a bit for the pics....... and stayed for the people!
Advice? None at the moment, I'm afraid.
I barely make it through the day some days; others, I'm just too friggin busy to even get here - which , I suppose, is a difficulty many others share.
I firmly believe the trend will reverse; after all, no matter if there
are "cliques" here, we still make mewbies a damn sight more welcome than certain other sites I could name......... don't we?
Shoot............just noticed the time. gotta run!!
