We get the traffic, why do so few people post here?
OK, So what's it gonna take to get people posting here again? I've re-arranged the forums, made the rules more "user friendly" (pretty much deleted all of the restrictions). Got the folks at Runboard to make the board more smartphone friendly.
Other than the Photobucket fiasco (which effects every forum out there and I can't do anything about). Hell I even set up a section for vendors and removed the restrictions about selling (with the only stipulation being that your deals are your deals and I/we won't intervene). I can't see why people don't post. I mean we get the traffic (I check the board stats, see below)
And don't tell me "forums are dead" because that's pure B.S. I follow a Jeep Wrangler forum (I have a Jeep Wrangler) and the first 5 pages pretty much roll over every day. The only way to follow a thread you are interested in is to save the URL somewhere so you can drop it in your search engine. And RPF gets plenty of action.
To be clear, I'm not really looking for anyone to tell me why (unless it's something I can really do) but more asking the folks to consider sharing stuff here again and to point out that with over 15000 page views in the last 90 days, why do we only get 112 posts? To be honest I find that pathetic.
FYI, I'm very willing to offer moderator or administrator privileges to anyone who's willing to step up and try to help get this place back up to snuff. The current staff is doing nothing and it's high time to bring in some folks that will.
Email me if you are up to the challenge. All ask is that you consider it carefully. I want this to work and the "Staff" needs to want that too.

Re: We get the traffic, why do so few people post here?
I am willing to help here, just sent an Email to you Ed, I believe that this board has the potential to survive because we have some very creatively and interested members. I will post more soon, will start to work on my projects again in summer 2018.

Re: We get the traffic, why do so few people post here?
I'm still here.
Facebook annoys me, and I get inundated by a bunch of other useless crap, so I can't even focus on Bat stuff.
It feels like slipping into an old recliner when I visit this cave.
Now where's my bat slippers?

Tim,
Great to see you stopping back in. I hope you'll stay a while.
Brin,
Your slippers are in my basement but you gotta come here to get 'em.

Re: We get the traffic, why do so few people post here?
I'm always checking in. I will continue to post here. We are good people here, but the recent movies are terrible.
The Batman vs Supes movie sucked, well the first 15 minutes I saw before I gave up on the slow pace.
'Did not watch any suicide squad or whatever it is called.
Batman needs to look and feel very cool to us, otherwise I will just hang on to the '89 and give up on the motocross suits.

The more the merrier I feel. We've been trying to make things better but if people don't ever check in they'll never know.

I like the changes so far, Ed! I'm going to try to post here more often, instead of just lurking.
