Where are we sitting right now? How many active members do we have? It almost seems like ES has lost all of its drive it has had. What do we need to do to increase chat activity?
Just some of my reacent concerns.

We have about 90 members, but only about 10 or 12 people post on a regular basis.

I wouldn't get to worked up over it. Sure more people can be fun, but it also may lead to more squabbles. Just have fun posting good stuff. Good members will fallow.

The lull could be due to the holiday season, so I hope things'll pick up in january. There also hasn't been too much toy-wise to talk about imo..I do think we could use more members; like dev said, most of our members don't post.

Here comes another one of the "CK tells it like it is" rants. Right now, we are like the martians from Sesame Street. If someone makes a comment, about three people hit reply to the thread and give some sort of response along the lines of: "Yep yep yep yep yep-yep-yep-yep-yep-yep. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh." We don't really have a lot of discussion type topics posted, and that is what gets people posting. People have to have a difference of opinion in order to keep things going. If everyone agrees on everything, then the world is boring. (kinda like Energon Station right now. haha) Most of the posting action comes from the hauls thread, and even that is a "look what I got" & "cool" (if even that) type of thread. We'll give some news here and there, but it rarely gets discussed. ...and how many times do people post a thead saying "check this out!" or "Pics of such and such Transformer" or "<fill in the blank> movie on DVD!" Then you click the thread....and all it is is a hyperlink to another website. STOP! If you are going to post a message, then either write-up a summary of the page you are linking to, copy and paste the text, and/or save the pictures to photobucket and post them here. Just site your source at the bottom or something. Otherwise, let's just make one thread called "the links thread" and everyone can post their favorite hyperlinks in there. If you can't do that, at least SAY something about it rather than just post a link to another site and then log off the board.

Guess I need to go back to the less lazy way of reporting news then I take it. Guess I have been slacking a bit.

I know I have been slacking, but I have 1 month old twins, so I stay very busy.
