Whatever happened to the good old days? I think harrier and Naval Aviator will remember a while back, when you'd log on and see brand new posts in every forum. When there were much more users active. Lots of them have left now, like Napalm Joe, kurt warner and even JR has left. It seems like this forum is dying and I can't think of anything stimulating to post. If anyone has even the slightest question or idea please please post it, no matter how shy or new to the forum you are PLEASE give us more to talk about.

Cool

Message boards go through phases. That and the fact that we don't advertise. You have to go out and recruit new members. I brough Daystrom over, but he was gone the next day.

Without any advertising or any other way to even get to the site without just typing in the name because you where bored (which is what happened to me) it is very hard to get any hardcore members that will even just log on once a night and read the new posts or make a new one. Without any advertising, which can be very expensive, theres not much that can be done.

Out of 2053 members only 10 regularly post that means that only 5% of the memebers are active. How does this site stay alive.
