Just interested in folks opinions….We’ve been operating for close to two decades now. At our peak our membership numbered in the thousands with probably a hundred + active members posting regularly.Just in terms of the current site…since 2014New topics have more than halved (942-416)New posts have dropped by 20000 (53611-35378)New members down from 133 to 30 Most online at one time has halved (330-179)Page views down by nearly a million (4172638-3498045)There is still a couple of months to go but these figures won’t get close to that 2014 level.Now an obvious factor impacting is the number of facebook groups that have sprung up. I’m a member of a few of those… but the decline does raise a number of questions.1) Is there still a place for the anonymous forum like ours or are we a dying breed?2) Do we need to change to remain viable in the current climate?3) What changes would people like to see?4) What other Carlton sites do you visit/ are a member of?5) Is there anything in particular you don’t like about the site in its current form.6) What do you like that keeps you posting/ viewing here
x2 what Paul said...I will also add that when you have success you get more posters/members jumping onboard, when you are at the bottom its only the die hardfanatics that keep the posts churning , the banter happening and will come back each day to talk about defeat...Start playing finals, win a premiership and the numbers will get better.......
Without this forum I'd be relatively isolated, living in a state that is rather Blueless😟 This might seem a bit weird, but what I learn from others enhances my experience watching our games.
