Hi guys!
I recently reached a decision that forums are generally a complete waste of bandwidth and have retired from all of the other ones I've posted in over the past 10 years.
The single exception is this forum, which is why I'm posting this! You've created something unique - a classy site, full of information and shared by people whose main trait is a love of the written word. I well and truly take my hat off to you!
Some of these questions may have been covered before, so just point me to the right place if it has.
I see you have pretty useful visitor stats - assuming Alexa is somewhere near right. Clear drop in numbers right now, which I imagine relates to school holidays in the northern hemisphere. Is there a long term trend of growth?
I see lots of visitors ex-China, yet I see few Chinese members. Has any thought been given to "cashing in" on Chinese membership? Maybe a help forum - in English - where we could help with expression/idiom?
Have you got a plan for increasing the membership? If so, is this something we can discuss?
I find the format one which could be a little intimidating for n00bs - are you open to changes?
Hope it's ok to discuss this stuff.
Cheers
(Edit: oh yeah - I'd wondered why you don't have LitNet.com. Now I see why. Some people just make me sick. Al least his Alexa ranking is only 8,000,000 places lower than you. :D)
