Are all the major posters here contributing to a stifling malaise preventing the growth of this forum? :coffee:

A graph of posting frequency here would be highly skewed. I suspect it could only be analysed via fractal geometry...

This forum is very exclusive (and not in the good way) and it does prevent it from growing. But whatcha gonna do? :dunno:

:dunno: Need examples. That's a pretty vague suggestion. Stifling, like how?

The membership activity stats for the forum would be interesting for all? and numbers up or down should be marked against events? Whilst other 'skeptical forums' are thriving this one appears to be more a cargo cult in steady decline because the cargo planes go to other 'cooler' places.

You may have a point? Care to expand on it?

Well, it's fairly simple. If you think that there are features of the forum or its members which are inhibiting growth, this is only a problem if growth is seen as desirable. I'm not particularly against it, but neither am I worried if it doesn't occur...
