I'm curious if there are traffic stats for EC. Seems like some forums don't have as much activity as they used to, but maybe it's just a perception. Has anyone else noticed it not being as active as in the past? Can staff comment on data if they have access to it?
It ebbs and flows. I think it depends on the threads being posted. It does for me. Many of them i can’t relate to or have no interest in. Maybe it’s because I’m just on the fringes of the lgbt community and have more in common with straight people
Forums in general seem on the decline. Many of the forums I used to post on years ago have been replaced by Discord chats or just dissolved entirely. With social media, there's less cause for forums. This site seems to have many aging members who've left and hasn't attracted many new members that last.
Our traffic has been down a bit, and we have some initiatives and some donation money to do more outreach... which we've been delaying doing until we have more staff, as we're stretched a bit thin right now. Hopefully that will be changing soon!
As a new member I had hoped there would be more dialogue and sharing - glad it is not just me with to high expectations. LOL I still appreciate this site
