Many fora are in a similar position - a hard core of a dozen or so contributors. The days of fora are in decline and many posts in Google searches are now several years old but presumably people get the information they are looking for. One thing I think might help draw people in is if you "experts" did some sort of how to articles - using lenses, the relationship between dof & exposure, understanding the camera and its menus etc., re-celling batteries, wrinkles you have learnt over the years. If these can be illustrated, all the better. The other thing we can do is get links the the forum on other websites - putting the url into your signature on other fora is one way.

I'm not sure forum's are in decline per se, I think that A LOT of it moved to a different platform, Reddit... If you think of it, each sub-reddit is a forum of sorts. I think if you have great compelling content, people do tend to come, I'd argue a lot of the stuff we used to discuss here like technical tips etc has moved to Facebook groups, Reddit and YouTube - it's one thing someone telling you how to fix an old D1 battery with text and photos and another watching a video on it... I think there's still a place for forums such as this, god knows there's a lovely little community here, but expanding it out might not hurt. That being said I don't have much more practical advice to share, my personal focus is very much on YouTube.

I don't think the problem is visitors - we had 5870 visitors in February, making 58,405 visits, viewing 111,725 pages - but only 93 posts.... When I said fora I meant fora like this, not Reddit, Facebook, Youtube etc. - they are the reason why people have migrated from these old style fora.

Since I joined the "Old" forum, way back when JK was living in sunny Spain ( 2008 ) , I have changed computers, and Every time I had difficulty to remember what the forum was called, all I could remember was that it had " Nikon " in it,..so Yes , a New and Easy to remember forum-name, but please do keep the Nikon name in it,..there`s an american one called " Nikon cafe" , I stumbled onto that one when I got a new computer ( it was broken ) while looking for this forum,..could n`t we look for something like it ? ..." The Nikon Asylum "...just a sample..

When you do a search there is always some info on what the site is. So if we went for Digital camera group then have something like Nikon based but open to all digital camera users, if that can be done.
