[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 17126, member: 46"] Re: Dave Speaks on the LAB Transition Sure the fragmentation is challenging now, but keep in mind this site is only 2 weeks old. It's off to an impressive start, certainly more productive than the new PSW offering at least from my perspective. I only end up checking the Marketplace on PSW now, and that's all I really intend to use there at this point. The absence of the regular posters has dried things up quite noticeably. Sure, there are many registered users there, but how many post regularly? I expect that getting all of those users to actually register on the new forums will be a very poor return rate for them. With reduced numbers of registered users and fewer posters, there will be less reason for the anonymous visitors to go as well. Consider this: This is from their site as I write this message. There are 8 members(s), 2 invisible members and 331 guest(s) visiting this board (PSW) Compared with here: There are 10 members, 4 invisible members and 25 guests visiting this board (HERE) The ''guests'' (and those who don't bother to sign in because they don't intend to post) are a large part of the audience there. So really, activity levels in terms of new content are similar, even though this site has a smaller userbase. And forget about the users altogether..... the non-commercial, community focus of this place is enough to keep me here even if the userbase stopped growing right this second. [/QUOTE]
