We discussed site activity today and there was little concern from the 16 or so members. Most feel that it's cyclical. There was one really interesting comment from a member belonging to several boards. He says that when things get stale or slow, there are certain people that will throw out a topic that baits the membership to participate. Not unlike what Jeff did with his Winter Blues thread. Another topic might be the possibility of a video tutorial on building a certain project.
Another member noted that there is no LINK to us from the Klingspor website. I haven't confirmed this but interesting if true.
There was discussion about FaceBook and the interest in more participation there referencing our site.
Although we have a FB page, it's not officially sponsored by NCWW. I believe there's merit in exploring this. Several clubs and several of our members and vendors utilize that medium to attract more members and customers.
The upgrade was also discussed and I gave them the heads up on Classified's being replaced with a yet to be determined program. There wasn't much reaction.
I encouraged everyone to consider participating in the workings of the site. I informed them that if they had any particular skill or willingness to learn to contact Tracy for direction.
We have a fantastic cross section of personalities and ability in this bunch. I always leave there so much happier and motivated! I wish we all had such enthusiasm:wink_smil
