Is this board growing too slowly?

It seems this board is stagnatting a bit. I see the same people posting over the last few weeks. I have mentioned it to several friends and dive buddies around. I don't know how else I can promote this board. Any suggestions?

I agree I've been off for a few weeks because no new topic are posted.

Hi guys....we've actually grown over 30 members in just 2 weeks, but for every person who make a post, 10 don't, and 100 just read it who aren't signed members yet.

We're at about 480 some members, which for being open only 4.5 months is supposed to be remarkable for a non-erotica discussion board, lol.

We'll crack 500 shortly......sometimes just posting opinions and polls gets additional participation. Posting our link on other dive related websites also helps.

We can't discuss erotica here? I guess I'm in the wrong place.

I've seen some boards that lost their character because they grew too fast. Of course rapid growth is often desirable by the site's owners, so I'm glad to see that "slow" growth is acceptable here.

No erotica? Uh oh... Sorry Dr B.... not the board for you huh?

[DrBill]

I guess I'll have to stick to other channels for that.

uh huh, but you'll get Rimsa from Tawian asking how to get rid of microspores instead.....

Okay, then How would you suggest that we help the board grow acceptablly?

(By the way, I am not the site owner, nor do I play one on TV or sleep at a Holiday Inn express...)

Personally, I would like to see some more activity and comments is all.

Many divers who like online discussions don't know about us yet, just let other divers know, whether in person or online in some fashion.

Dr Bill is right, even tho he dosnt confess knowing me we have been on other boards together that loose there Ummmm Fun because they grew to fast and they started relying on substitute/moderators that didnt have time to watch out for the board and members interest. iDiveChick you seem to have a positive attitude and that will take this board far. you might want to post a Mission Statement that explains your goal (never seen that before on any boards)
