Changes to CTZ

[CoreIssue]

I am considering moving from xenForo software to phpBB to save $140.

CTZ gets very few posts but over 8000 reads a month.

Please post any changes you think would be beneficial, including adding something more than just a forum.

More posts should generate more reads. More reads would likely increase forum membership.

Less posts should generate less reads. Less reads would likely decrease forum membersship.

The figures on posts and reads is from 2018. Do you have figures for 2023? Is the trend noted in 2018 increasing, decreasing or holding steady?

Looks like a major change in number of visits occurred between March and April of this year. Do you think that is due to something that happened on CTZ? Or do you attribute it to something else?

 

[CoreIssue]

due to apostasy.

 

[Matthias]

due to apostasy.

Was it the apostasy of forum members that caused them to lose interest in posting on the forum or was action taken against them to limit or prevent them from posting on the forum?

 

[CoreIssue]

general apostasy in these end times.

general apostasy in these end times.

In my experience, apostates are very active on internet discussion forums.
