Re: half time show portable stage set up in 5 minutes?
Our ratio of registered, logged in users to anonymous viewers hangs around 10:1. According to Google Analytics we have over 11,000 unique visitors a month, not including search engines etc. Certainly some of those are not pro audio people but considering we have less than 1,000 registered users that is a lot of people who don't log in!
As I have said in private to a few people, the real audience of this site is that group. Many other sites (just look at Harmony Central!) have a lot (a LOT) of "question people", which is great, everyone needs questions to be asked at any level of the industry. The value of this site is that it attracts a lot of "answer people". The two groups cannot live without each other, but I believe to run a high signal to noise site with useful information the challenge is to interest and retain more of the latter.
