Some time back you mentioned that some of the “people on line number” were bots.

Does that also apply to these figures? Are we actually attracting real people and if so what are we doing wrong that they don’t want to engage?

I’ve popped a few quid in the system, but to be honest I wonder if we should call it a day?

The few regular contributors may be better entertained having a group zoom meeting once a month to put the world to rights, update everyone interested in what we’ve been doing and flash up the odd photo or two, for comments / discussion.
Unfortunately, you appear to be right. I use a number of forums and the number of regular posters is small. Even DPReview has a relatively low base of regular contributors. Some others are moribund, one being marque specific where the manufacturer has ceased trading.

It would be a shame to see a forum close but if traffic is low it might not be practical to continue, my visits are few.

The figures don't include bots - the "bounce" rate is only 3%, i.e. 97% of visitors visit more than one page ( bots just bounce in and out again)
