I know you all don't read that slowly....
I post some at another forum, and I've noticed that while HOP has produced only a handful of new posts over the last hour, every time I hit New Posts at the other place, I get half a dozen or more. There have been about the same number of registered members and guests on each forum during the course of that time. This must mean you either don't have a lot to say (seems unlikely for a bunch of political forum junkies) or you have hidden forums, and the majority of the members are posting there right now. Perhaps complaining about each other or complaining about new members, who knows
Fine and good, but don't forget to come out in public once in a while. The board is slooooow and boring right now. If you want the membership to grow, it would seem that a lot of new posts from which to pick and choose which to respond to would help new members stay interested. It's bad enough that the server seems to be slower than some, but for there to be no new posts in over 25 minutes really blows.
