Per my point - check how many new users we've had (and lost perhaps) over say the past 5 years. It's clear as I stated that, short of advertising, which we don't do / can't afford, being able to be found via search engines (which will have trawled and aggregated many years of 6CM) is pretty much the only way new blood (of any age) can be found.Stop being unnecessarily difficult/argumentative.
It's well known that the younger generation don't USUALLY gravitate towards forums.
Hence the popularity of subreddits, discord and the likes with the younger fans.
Of course there are going to be exceptions to the rule.
However per my point.
The older talking over 30 maybe 35 now.. Will have their favourite forum.. there is no point trying to actively promote this place in my opinion. You will only seek out alternatives if you no longer have access to it. (As you already agreed above).
It's obvious you disagree so let's leave it there.
To say nothing of say a move to Discord costing the loss of more members for one reason or another.
That's not being unnecessarily argumentative, it's called debate and laying out the pros and cons.
