Just checked .space, and no posts for a day. .Castle has more traffic, and
classic-castle.com has had even more. Yes, its Spring Break, but last week
was very quiet, too.
I think we need something around here to revitalize the .space community,
something to encourage people to sign up and also encourage old posters who
are lurkers (or worse) to post. Perhaps we might even need to follow .Castle
(*gasp*) and start our own website- a classic-space.com- to liven things up?
Lugnet is really nice, but I think without something new the whole community
stagnates.
Just some thoughts.

John,
I’m sorry if I seem like I’m comming down on you but you made a nearly identical
post like this just over a month ago.
I guess I find it a bit annoying since you complain about the lack of
“community” but your solution is to futher dilute the community by starting a
new site?? Wouldn’t the new site be made up primarily by the people who are
already here? So, how would that make things different or more lively? What
specifically could be done on a new site to prevent stagnation that can’t be
done here on lugnet? I’ve never visited the castle website, so what does it
offer that lugnet.space does not? How exactly would a new site draw out any
lurkers? If you want to start a new site, the by all means, do so. I just
don’t understand what intrinsic qualities that a new site would have in its
functionality that would make the community any better. I mean the quality of
the community is determined by the people in it rather than the
hardware/software that is hosting it.
There can be any number of reasons for the dip in posts. It happens from time
to time. Maybe everybody is busy trying to finish their last minute P-38
entries (I’m still trying to get mine posted sometime this week). Actually, I
kind of enjoy the lower post rates lately; seems like more good MOCs vs. idle
banter about some missing admrial or something ;-) but hey thats just me.
