Hello? Can you read this?? PLEASE VOTE IN OUR SITE POLL. - kruddler - 01-17-2023
We are curious about how active our little community is. We want to know how active you, and everyone is.
Are we overrun by bots? Or do we have a hidden fanbase we don't know about.
We'd love to hear from you.

Bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy here - only those who come in regularly will see the poll....

I become more active during the season.

That's true for a lot of folk. I can think of a few regulars who are hardly around at this time of the year

Some people might limit their activity due to a dislike of certain moderators or other posters that respond to their opinions. Maybe and nothing more. Maybe highly likely though. IMO.

This is my 14th year on this site and I am not a member of any other CFC forum.
Contributing factors for me wanting to join this site were the variety of topics that included social issues which seemed to have passionate and thoughtful posts, ease of use and a genuine respect for other contributors even when contrary views were shared. Yes, there were heated exchanges but in the main these seemed to be resolved fairly.
Over the years those who seemed antagonistic, even abusive, have left. But it would be good to attract more members for all the obvious reasons. I wonder if we could promote our site better; create more awareness? Build it and they will come ;D There's plenty that can be done to increase representation outside Vic, genders other than male and even younger cats. Perhaps we could create a YouTube channel linked to this site and linked to existing other CFC YouTube channels? Creating more awareness and inclusiveness might be very helpful for membership numbers.
As for the demographic of older blokes, to a person each seems to be a younger thinker though I get the concern and perhaps this is not being capitalized on enough? From mid March I will have finished a major project and am willing to put my hand up to help promote the site.

Regardless of how active or inactive members are, we may not have the site for much longer:

This has happened because no one is maintaining the site. I have uploaded the most recent patches to the site and applied the correct permissions to the folders\files after the updates.
Unless someone does take over looking after the site, this will happen again in the future. We have backups as a fallback, but I don't have the time.
Spanner has done a wonderful job over many years but the time came for him to move on. Unless we can find someone, or a team, to maintain the site, it will fall over.

23 votes in a day in a half is not bad. Wonder how many more we can get.
