Off-Topic Discussion > Why a New Forum?
We've got to turn this baby around!
Charlie:
So I've noticed that the forum has slowed. I mentioned I was not having as much fun anymore. So I thought I would run some stats on what I could find. What I found was rather interesting. I used two parameters, new posts and page views and to account for exposure post per page view (PPPV)...
Average Page Views/mo (in hundreds):
2010 - 1352.91
2011 - 2881.33
2012 - 4732.17
2013 - 4170.42
Average New Posts/mo:
2010 - 1724.5
2011 - 2946.17
2012 - 3647.5
2013 - 2999.08
Post per Page View (PPPV)/mo (a decrease every year since 2010)
2010 - .01300
2011 - .010314
2012 - .008072
2013 - .007184
If you rank each month (PPPV) and then average each years ranks (1-48):
2010 - 12
2011 - 17.4
2012 - 30.75
2013 - 34.67
2013 alone has ranks 47, 46, 44, 43, 42, 41, 39, 38
And 2012 may be questionable with all the political stuff...
What does this mean? We've all become 'luurkers'!
So now why have we stopped posting guys? I see folks on the forum all the time but never post anymore. I personally stopped posting all of my new gear a while back. Why? I starting thinking people just don't care, so why post. I use to love seeing everybody's gear. Hell, right after EMP auctions (not a promotion btw) ;))...
I found a super rare Black Swan concept quad and no response. Matt and Harry lurk more now than post. Z just pops in once in a while now. H hasn't given us an update since May... T is still French (I forgive you for that and that other thing - which are probably related). Hell Rosa and Jeff were running the place a while back.
What the fuck is going on here? Are we all done? Any thoughts for the mods?
At least let's go out with a bang and fill out the Best Purchases of 2013 thread... I'll populate 12 months of my gear when I get back to the house...

And in other news it appears Charlie has become the new Mel - one cannot fathom what surprises 2014 will bring!

I knew there was a reason! And I did start hanging posters up so maybe you are onto something...
So Mel has done something like this before?
MoviePosterBid.com:
small hobby
small number of people actual commenters
people want to know, but few wish to share
information canned

Not specifically but he's always going on and on about how noone listens to his suggestions on how to put APF at the top of the Poster Collecting Forum universe and then the tears start flowing.
The sentiments are certainly in the right place but seems quite a few of us feel APF is just fine and dandy the way it is...
