My thinking is that the more new visitors see, the more likely they may be to hang around and explore, and we could really use some new visitors; FTM is starting to look like a Mac Users Group.
Maybe, but when I see the last post on a forum was months ago that seems a clear indication that it is a dead forum and time for me to look elsewhere.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
