    I notice that many of our members who were active on the old site are no longer doing so. Have they left or found a new site ? On the old site, the forums were used constantly and friendships blossomed. Now we get mostly welcome and"like you"postings on the opening page and the forums and blog sections are seldom used.  Has paid membership increased ? Personally I spend less time here and go to other TG sites

    all TS/tg websites seem to have a natural life span of a few years then they die.

    I don't think that the transition to being front page centred from a forum centric site has helped at all Joanne, postings there are very transitory and can last just 30 mins before disappearing into oblivion. With a forum centric web site, more discussion about topics becomes the norm and that way people can form friendships and obtain good information

    I hope so. The truth is that the internet has changed and everyone is busy. People prefer to tweet in 140 characters or less these days, rather than sitting down and writing a whole forum post. We are taking steps though, towards giving our forums a higher priority so look out for some forum ads on the front page soon. Keep the faith and spread the word! Hugs, Katie x
