I noticed that the moderator of the book club board has not been active since 9/07!  Is that even being used as a book club or is it really just general chat that might be considered "Spoilers" and more appropriate to that board?

I think everyone should "google" their own names and find out what IS out there.  It is scary.

even scarier, since here we use handles, is the fact that if I google my REAL NAME, the fact that I posted something on our list-serve at work, comes up and gives people my place of employment!

That's kind of like taking yourself to the prom and refusing to dance.  :D

Well, some are topic lists that haven't been updated in a very long time.  The reading list in the "Book Club"  is, I think, somewhat out of date.  Also some of the topics related to "spoilery" could be combined into one.  Things like that.  The topic list in "Spoilers" hasn't been updated since 1/07, so it may have lost some relevance.  No offense intended, just seems like it could be condensed a bit. Maybe there could be one FAQ board or sticky topic.

Don't know if it would save space or not, but I think "questions for Jim should have its own board".  It is certainly a  mega topic.

Would it be possible to remove some of the older "sticky" threads that are not really relevant anymore or combine them with others, to make more room on page 1 of the boards?  Sometimes there is barely room left for new threads and moving to page 2 is often the 'kiss of death' for a thread... :-\

Yeah.  The ads provide a pretty interesting window onto site use, and as I suspected, the forums make up the lion's share of the traffic (in terms of visits/page loads).   Prior to putting them on the forums, I made about 5000-6000 "impressions" (ad-loads) per day.  Yesterday I made nearly 20,000.  Granted, with ads at the top and bottom of the page, I *think* I'm technically making two impressions per page load, but that's still fairly impressive. 

Well, in the last two days I have been over to Amazon.com more than once and I never did that until I saw the ad at the top of the page about clicking from this site...

Who are all the "guests" who are showing as on-line.  I could understand a couple people at a time checking out the site to see what it is about, but there are usually 90+ showing.  They can't post, so why just lurk?  Are there really that many non-members lurking?

but is there something odd about the count of "most on-line today"?  It seems to ALWAYS say 47.
