I agree with Tommo on all counts.
At the moment, this is still a young forum. How long now? 2-3months? It also consists mostly of people who "know" or even know each other. That is both a good thing and a bad thing. Bad because at some point we will all know each others truck inside out. With nothing new, things will stagnate.Not a great place to be. Good because there is still banter and conversation outside of "all things LC"
On other, older forums, there was a constant supply of new users. A constant supply of "new blood" makes for a more interesting group of people, different subjects and banter and a overall better forum.
The only way we will get new users is by having a good content, links towards us and advertising.
All of these are happening, albeit, slowly. Content, you can't rush but it is growing. Links and search engine stuff, slowly happening. I am constantly doing stuff on that to convince google we are worth something. There's no rushing google though. New users, they are coming. Some who found us via google, one chap who spoke to fellow members (with stickers?) at a petrol station. Growing, we are.
This is an LandCruiser forum. There will always be off topic discussions but the main subject is just that: Toyota Land Cruiser.
The riveting word game does keep a thread very active. Not exactly LandCruiser related but then it is in the Lounge and was never trying to be. But you know what, people come back for it. If there is a need for "Guess what I did to Maggie-Sue on Friday night after 6 cans", it'll never happen. There are other, none Landcruiser related forums for stuff like that
As i stands,day in and day out, we get more visitors. It's a slow climb but climb non the less.
'Tis a good place
Cheers,
