| I was here a couple years back and this place was booming. Seems now that it's kinda just floating along but there's not a lot of forum activity. Am I just imagining things or has participation declined? |

| You are, unfortunately, not imagining things. Site membership is down, and still declining from a high of about 3000 members to 1814 currently. That's one measure of participation, there are others, they all tell the same story, pretty much. |

Money is tight and people have less leisure time to shoot, process, and hang out on line, and less money to spend on equipment, and travel.

| The forum needs a few of the troublemakers to come back. That always generated activity... |

it's a safe bet that's what the dpl2 was all about. i'm pretty sure there's been a good spike in activity since the start of the dpl. |

| Been here just over 4 years now and yes, site participation has really slowed down. When I first joined 200-300 entries per challenge was pretty much par for the course. Now the average challenge seems to draw only between 100-200. Only Free Studies still tend to draw a big entry of say 400+ or so. |

It 'may' help increase site-traffic to let people vote even without registering, as long as they comment on every image they vote.
Just sayin...
ETA: ... so we don't keep marrying ourselves within extended families and praising each other, and open up our images for the rest of the world's brutality;-)

Cory gets to clean the Spiff guts from the ceiling. Don't worry, it was only my brain, nothing critical. |

People need to lighten up and not take their axes out when asked clarification on challenge descriptions.

I think new challenges are needed - it gets kind of old seeing the same pics in the same roll over challenges (i.e, Red, Red II, Red III).
Just sayin... |
