I've contacted a few of my friends from the now-defunct AxeTalk forum and invited them to join us. Hopefully that'll bring some new people. Hi everyone, I was the mod over at AxeTalk until the bitter end- then I went into "retirement" from forums. SC invited me over so I figured I would drop in and say "hi" and look around dB you're very welcome to be here. as you can see things are kinda slow. however, things are picking up. so, make yourself at home.

Hi Zontar, and welcome. Nice to see another familiar face I was wondering where you got to--you invite me, I join, you disappear (But then I did that last few days as well)

One of the things I look at when I come to the site (several times a day) is at the bottom of the Home page where it tells how many members, moderators, and guests there have been in that day. Although the traffic seems to be fairly small, with only a handful of members and moderators in a day, we seem to get a lot of guest traffic. Today, there are 291 guests, which I think is pretty decent for a small forum. I think if we keep plugging, contributing content on a regular basis, we'll attract more people over time.
And, just because I don't think anybody's done it for a few days, I'd like to extend an invitation to anybody who's here as a guest or lurking. We'd love to have some fresh blood on the forum. There are lots of you who have ideas, knowledge, humor, and contributions which we value highly. You can be a little fish in a big pond on some other forums, but you're important to us and you can be a big fish in our little pond and you'll be welcomed by some friendly guys who'd like to know you. There's a chair here with your name on it

There's a chair here with your name on it We keep an eye on the guest numbers as well and weโve been hitting some new highs which is encouraging. Iโm not sure why, maybe its been because of the increased posting? Not sure. Anyhow, thanks for posting this and for all you lurkers out there, donโt be afraid to jump in, I think youโll like it here.

Believe me this is more traffic than we had when Axetalk was really at the end of its rope. That was sad to see.

It got so bad I messaged the admin to see if he wanted to keep hanging on and to his credit he did. Weโre a small community right now but itโs a good one. I want to add members yes but I donโt want to upset what weโve built so far. To me, adding new members while maintaining the integrity of this place is a slippery slope.

I believe John left Gibson-talk about 6 months earlier as they made it difficult to sign on. It would always direct you to MLP. I found a backdoor and at the very end was me, Stan (saguitar) and then Ken (spellcaster) showed up near the very end. It was brutal to watch it go downhill.

I wish we could get a few more of the old Axetalk crew over here. There were a couple other great guys, but they are probably on TDPRI. I have nothing against TDPRI but it is way too busy over there

Might increase posts if we lead some other members from GC here, I know some of you have influence there.
