Is it just my imagination...

[Pierre]

or, does the site seem very quiet lately...

THat's what I thought too

I was excited to start posting here a few month ago as there was always a crowd

now it seems kinda dead

[Mad Girl Investor]

Mad Girl feels the same as Pierre and Bman feel...

Mad girl is sad too, as she likes her friends here...I believe it may be due to Thierrys opening the OT section....I think he wanted to keep this forum related to stock pick disucussion only...I dont like it tho and Im wondering how ya'll feel too?

Maybe if members drop off, he would change it back?

I think its your avatar MG. Its scaring people away!

[Hanger]

Hate to say it as I like the penny plays every once n awhile-

But perhaps this is the problem...this forum is getting closer and closer to the other forums. I would hope that it is not, but you never know.

Now dont go blaming it on my buttocks.....what have they ever done to you??? All theyve done is just smile at ya every day, and you know your smiling...

[Psampson]

lol I do give you credit though, it's better than some of your past ones. I would hate to see them in that position.

I like to post news articles and start discussions about non-penny stocks but have to admit, its discouraging if you put in a big post and you get like one or two replies..

Meanwhile the penny stock threads are the most active...

I suppose that's the nature of the game

The traffic is steady, even up most days, and it certainly isn't going to the Off Topic Forum, it doesn't get very many views.

When the weather gets nice, people spend less time writing posts, so the actual posting may seem to be diminishing. I have seen this before, and you should see it swing back. I'll give the forum a boost by upping the advertising budget also.

And don't forget that BOO, as irritating as he was to some users, was the most prolific poster here. Until we get another loud mouthed trouble maker, it is going to seem calmer here.

Mad Girl - you may be turning off new customers, your avatar is very funny, but someone who doesn't know you or this forum may be frightened into thinking that we are all a bunch of deviants or perverts here. I have seen less visitors become new members, on a percentage basis. Could be other things as well.

Why don't you archive your avatar by including it as an image in one of your posts, and bring back a more family friendly picture? I think most of the users here would appreciate it!
