Is Talking Reef dying?

[GreasyReefer]

Around 2 or 3 years ago this was the first site i ever stumbled across when i was first getting into the saltwater reef hobby. I stopped posting and coming to the site for a long time because i found a local reefing forum and just started going there for most of my info and since it was convenient for buying equipment and livestock. I even forgot my old screen name so i made a new one. I just came back to this site today to refer a friend of mine to read CarmieJo's write up on the Nitrogen cycle. It has still stuck with me after 2 years as being one of the easiest and best explanations of cycling. I started looking over the forum posts and see that most of them are old and not current at all and was wondering whats up with that? There are more guests than members online. That is a bummer. If it wasn't for this site i wouldn't have ever learned the basics of the hobby. Members start getting back to posting here. This site is truly a friendly site with tons of combined years of knowledge. Lots can benefit from keeping posts current. Hope some of the members and tons of guests would become members help revive the site.

Thanks,

Raul

Hey Raul, glad to see you back! I'm still around and so are a few others but there isn't the activity there used to be.

Aww well that's a bummer. Good to see that screen name again!

All we need are a bunch of new faces to start posting and we'll be back in business. Now how do we get them here? How do we get the old members to come back? I know everyone didnt give up reefing as I still see some of them still posting on other forums. Do we need a contest or giveaway or something. Or does that just bring folks long enough to win something and then they disappear again? I want to see the old TR again too.
