New BBS is averaging 109.18 posts/day. Some quick math on a 30 day month and that comes out to 3275 posts/month average right now.
Hard to make direct comparisons though. The old BBS and new BBS are different animals. No anonymous posting here so that cuts down, but there is now an off topic forum which generates traffic where before I discouraged it due to only having one topic area.
The only real loss in my opinion was the inside scoops and more out in the open posts from insiders regarding things like jobs, auditions, and the like. These could be done anonymously before.
But now a membership list is available with hidden email addresses and the ability to get in contact with another registered member. That is a huge plus. I just need to add a comnponent to make searching the membership list simple.
