![]() I think this is more likely to attract a broad range of readers. We need to make the content attractive enough to retain them on their first visit, though!

Not necessarily - we can still have a section for Nikon, but we might gain people who are put off because they don't own Nikon.

OK I am going to put up some thoughts..... 1. Do not want a domain name other than a *.com why? Because ot is found more easily by users all over the world. 2. The name needs to attract users from basic to advanced. 3. The name should not be overly long i.e. easy to remember and type in! 4. I am happy to rework layout and content of forums.

Because it is found more easily by users all over the world. Google finds it for you - people don't type in URLs - they click on what Google shows them and that catches their interest. The fact you get a lot of .com results is a reflection of the fact that most of the internet is american.

Lol - actually it doesn't matter what the name is - it could be ah%88234j"!£g.com if you wanted. Google nowadays searches more on content - the old days of shoving lots of keywords into meta data are long gone, so to get viewers you need to make sure that words like Nikon, digital, photography, etc. need to be used in the posts, which by and large they are.

That is the other thing that needs to be done. Get the new forum up the search engine lists!

It's all very well attracting more visits, but the forum content needs to be sufficiently engaging to hold people's attention, if the forum is to survive as anything more than a few old mates putting the world to rights, in a virtual pub on a Friday night. Understanding why so many people have left the forum or refrain from contributing, may go someway to formulating something new. Forged in the last century when digital imaging was perceived as witchcraft, it's not surprising we had so many wanting to discuss and learn the mysteries. Now that most people know enough to satisfy their day to day needs, it's going to have to be something really special to grab people's interest and enthuse their contribution. Opening the forum name to encompass other camera users widens the net for sure. How do we hold their interest?
