Post Why we have so few members?

IMO, this is the one of the best looking site I have seen in the internet yet we have very few members.  Very informative and definitely pleasing to the eyes.  Just wondering why our members are so few?

In my experience there are a lot of people out there that just like to lurk. They probably read on a daily basis but arent registered and dont post.

Could it be that when people search the web they enter "Aquarium" or "Tropical fish" and not "Myfishtank" 8)

Post Re: Why we have so few members?

hi guys,

i've tried modifying my keywords so that we'll move up in the search engines. i've also tried adding this site to other fish related sites. also, this site is fairly new.

slowly but surely, the number of people are increasing so that's a good sign.

sorry to all about the lack of updates on this site. i've been very busy with some other projects but i do check this site everyday.

thanks to everyone for helping each other and making this a great community.

Johnny

Post Re: Why we have so few members?

The # of members has greatly incresed since I first joined. But many have left over time that were great members and very productive ones at that. So that kinda cut back on the productivity. It will someday be big. Yes I agree this is one of the best looking boards out there. I love it. It's my favorite. (obviously;D) I hope that somday we'll have like 1000 members. If we give it time we will though. This was the first messageboard I ever found. I typed in "fish messageboards" and this one came up. ;D

Post Re: Why we have so few members?

There are probably 20-30 of those members who visit regularly though. Most people will join and not even put one single post up. I really dont understand that one myself. And then the'er some who just sign up to ask one question and that's all they want. I myself am an active member (As if you couldn't tell ;D) But some people just sign up and go for a little while and then they quite cause they have so many other things to do than this. I think that's another reason why it seems we have so few members. Probably about 40 of our members never posted but that's just a guess I'd have to go manually count and I don't have time right now to do that. ;D

Post Re: Why we have so few members?

I agree with the statement that this is one of the best designed sites around, one of my friends who is not into fish dropped by the other day and said it was very nicely set up, this guy surfs the net every night and admits to having visited hundreds of sites.
I may be absent for a while as I have taken the plunge and will be opening my own store soon.
I pick up the keys 2nd July, that is when the work starts. 8)
