Traffic?

[Richard Lamb]

No, not asking about other aircraft in the pattern.

It's just that the amount of traffic posted here seems to have
dropped dramatically while I was napping (the last year or so).

Anybody else notice that?

Here's one source for numbers.

I guess that answers that.

Maybe the reduction is due to people reluctant to post since they know
what they write will be stored for at least 13 years. :-)

Actually, after the initial stratup, and development of the internet, it
may be following the reduction in the number of kit models available. I
know we're a distributed element by design, but I wonder how the number
of builders has varied over the years.

Golly gee, that is a neat site!

To think that at one time, there were almost 5,000 posts in a month! Wow!

I'm going to have to not post so much. I got the award for this month's to
poster. I really don't have that much to say..... <g>

Zoom is no longer a day-to-day subject, nor is Dennis Fetters. Beyond that,
BWB and several of his friends and enemies have seemingly disappeared. My
guess is that once upon a time those subjects accounted for 1/3 of the
bandwidth. Beyond that, JLS (once known as Latchless) no longer makes
lightining rod posts.

Beyond that, there are many more type specific discussion boards to syphon
interest from this forum.

I'd say traffic is well down from 5 years ago..

And how many of those five thousand posts were directly concerned with
designing, building, or flying homebuilt aircraft? :-)

Could it be that when someone would ask a question looking for
information, he would get 10-20 stupid comments and smart ass answers
that he went somewhere else?
Or maybe it's the day to day bitching between a few know-it-all's, like
I don't hear enough of that at home.
Don't get me wrong, there have been some terrific people with good
information, and a few great answers to many questions, but when
someone post a question looking for answers they generally get a huge
waste of time reading pure ignorance. Or better yet the entire post
goes way off topic. Just my opinion.

I kinda miss Zoom and some of the others...
I mean, I've never been much of one for terrorizing dumb animals,
put some of those guys were a lot of fun to make fun of.
(And yes, I've wasted a lot of bandwidth too. But it was all in a good
cause???)
