I've noticed a sudden silence, too. Can't be the page change... I mean, we've suffered through worse. The 89,000 forum changes and crashes?
I don't know. I always jump right to: Something is fucked up on our end and we drove people away. Truth is, it's probably just a lull. They always seem to happen in the summer. Then I go away for a month and not a single person posts.
I think we need to get rid of registration/membership on the main page and just have the forums. I see people online at the main page all day, but none of them coming over here... My thought is that it's not clicking that a different registration is required here. That's one thing.
If you have any real ideas about upping participation, don't hesitate.
Also -- feedback. Are the forums difficult to use or approach? Are they not user friendly? Anything constructive is welcome.
May-August is the weirdest time for pages like this. Even for SFWP. The world goes outside! It all feeds my deep-seated paranoia that I'll lose my fanbase and die unloved.

Well, that's a given. But maybe we can keep the fanbase going for awhile longer. I'll try to think of ways to inspire members to post. Free airline tickets to Hawaii? (At your expense, of course. I'll just act as tour guide.) A date with Angelina Jolie? Coupons for gasoline at half price? I'll come up with something even though my last brainstorm (Freaky Times) seems to have died a-borning.

Well my problem is I have to be a housewife, a chauffeur, build a press site, maitain this shitstorm while going to nursing school and trying to move. I have ten minutes right now though. Wheee!
This same thing happened last year, nobody should panic. I agree with killing membership on the main page but what the hell do you do about submitting work? I'm going to try to clean this place up some tonight.

A secret author sign in? authors.gs.org, send them there from here and tell them to login and submit? Something like that.
Or a submissions drop box like the email newsletter drop box....? Email, name, submission. It goes to...my email? I don't know.
