Just interested in folks opinions….
We’ve been operating for close to two decades now. At our peak our membership numbered in the thousands with probably a hundred + active members posting regularly.
Just in terms of the current site…since 2014
New topics have more than halved (942-416)
New posts have dropped by 20000 (53611-35378)
New members down from 133 to 30
Most online at one time has halved (330-179)
Page views down by nearly a million (4172638-3498045)
There is still a couple of months to go but these figures won’t get close to that 2014 level.
Now an obvious factor impacting is the number of facebook groups that have sprung up. I’m a member of a few of those… but the decline does raise a number of questions.
1) Is there still a place for the anonymous forum like ours or are we a dying breed?
2) Do we need to change to remain viable in the current climate?
3) What changes would people like to see?
4) What other Carlton sites do you visit/ are a member of?
5) Is there anything in particular you don’t like about the site in its current form.
6) What do you like that keeps you posting/ viewing here
