In the few years I have been off this site, what has happened?
It used to be so busy, so much so that you could barely keep up with the posts.
Now, I see very few users browsing the forums, the site is terribly slow for me (though maybe it does not like google chrome) and it just seems to totally lack life.
What a shame.
I handle social media for a few web pages.
This site really HATES Google Chrome on the mobile. I can't even directly comment on a thread in the response box. I have to go into Gmail, write, then cut and paste into the response box.
Dolphin and Opera aren't much better.
That is ridiculous if you want an active forum.
Traffic is people clicking on pages. I have sent probably 30 people over to this site, by word of mouth. I think one actively comments here and there. Most complain about the buggy response box on the mobile. The bulk are clicking on stickies, like the parent page or the work/employment page.
I bet the bulk of the people sign up, look around and keep WP as a reference page.
Believe me, click through traffic writes the checks, but doesn't make for a very active forum.
