LOL! I would start by putting the site online :P

Eric · 01-20-2007, 05:29 AM

indeed the foto site seems a little dead right now

Vampyre · 01-21-2007, 07:26 AM

Well, G_Man, I'm sure that every forum has its own up & down cycles.
I don't think the number of posts in any given period can tell you anything, especially, if your regular members still visit your site.
Perhaps, they just drop by to read on articles.

I like your shots on the front page, by the way.
Your PhotoShop skill is much better than mine, I tell you.
And how long did you leave your shutter open to take that shot behind your apartment?
I say, 30 seconds, right?
It shows pretty good starry effect on the street lamps.

Eric · 01-21-2007, 11:43 AM

indeed, that snowy pic is just marvelous... deserves a prime spot
still thinkering a reflex.. now I have simple one that is doing nice...

Not actually worried about it. I have only been up two months and have about 6 or 7 regulars. Building content just fine though.

And I think it was only about 10 seconds of exposure on that one. I've tried to replicate it, but not having much luck.

Thanks Eric. Everyone seems to like that one.

who cares about posts as long as the traffic brings their Paypal account with them

No worries. Certianly not just you. Just thought it was notable that Noone was posting. I was out of material for a bit!!

Ohiosweetheart · 01-22-2007, 08:25 AM

I'm out of material cuz I'm out of batteries for my camera - and broke

Here we are having this absolutely magnificent snowfall today... and I can't snap it! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

I've always noticed on my forums that things get busier during the early days of winter, but really dead around the holidays. They generally pick up again until the weather gets warm and people's kids are home from school. Summer tends to be rather dead. And then things pick back up as soon as the kids are in school again. This, of course, pertains to the mom crowd.

I have noticed that forums with lots of students tend to be dead right now, and those who are posting are talking about midterms and papers and stuff. Blech. Glad those days are over. LOL
