Lack of activity on JC???

[AttaBoy]

Is it just me or not? That Just commodores isn't as active like it used to be??

I also have a feeling that some members moving on to the Just commodores car club forum??

It used to be a lot of posting especially in popular sections like the pub etc... But now it seems pretty quiet here in the past few weeks or longer.

Maybe some people have lives

Perhaps the forum design change (Pub's down near the bottom) had something to do with it? I'm not THAT lazy not to scroll down

I think when JC was down for a while and we lost those few months it had an effect and I havent seen it recover since.

I'll bite on this one, traffic is down by around 300 - 400meg per day from what it used to be.

With the server issue's a while back I think most people built a bridge by now, there isn't anything we can do about that and yes backups are still taken daily manually. When I look back February I think it would be fair to say there has really been ongoing issue's up until the last week with the server load being out of control which would have turned off a number of people and in all honesty I wouldn't blame them.

When I shifted jobs unfortunately I made the stupid decision of moving the site, yes it may have been a touch slower to what we have currently experience but lets face it who cares if it's a touch slower if it just plain works. I only spoke to my old boss the other week who is happy to host JC at let me say a fraction of the cost of what we are paying now. Why haven't we moved yet, downtime for the DNS updating again

For amusement back in February 07 there was ~1000 posts per day now ~600.

With the load issue's and blocking of bots from the host end this has hit rankings in Google, Yahoo etc in a HUGE way which may also explain a few things, Pagerank dropping from 5 to 2 is almost unheard of, this I am very annoyed about and would have liked to have been consulted first before taking such drastic measures to control load.

Ahh well that's my 2c.

Still on the upside JC is growing and given it's like a kid to me I want to see it keep on building.

Cheers

Some free advertising would be great for this site like putting 'JustCommodores.com.au' stickers on the rear window of every member's car if they don't mind.

I would like to help get this site back to its full glory.
