One word: attrition.

People wander off, lose interest, move on, etc. over the years (we have been around for almost 6 now) and in order to maintain critical mass, new ones need to visit the site. But this board is all but impossible to find unless you're specifically looking for it. Most search engines rank make-your-own message boards slightly below Taiwanese breast enlargement spam, and we don't have the money for advertising.

As far as politics and current events, this message board is still a far cry better than e.g. usmessageboard.com. We have a dedicated bunch of locals.

I've been keeping pretty busy since I retired in '13. Doing a lot of the stuff I want to do. A little (very little) "work", a lot of motorcycling around the country. Trying to decide where we're going to go once we leave Illinois (once my daughter graduates high school in a few years....Hurry!!!!). Thanks for asking mm.

Agree there..I had a hard time finding the site when Iwas trying to come back..finally remembered "ProB"oard.." and then not ranked top 100, which surprised me ..had to scan all boards till recognized us..
