Changes are all good, but maybe look in to re-advertising Neowin. Getting its name out on the web again and giving people a reason to come here. I know that this is a tech site that helps people with tech related issues, but we need to give other reasons to come and advertise those features. Im not sure what you could advertise or use, but im sure with some thought you could think of something.

Consider the recent changes akin to renovation works, making the place more inviting to newcomers.

Crazysah Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I am sure we can do better for the month of May! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634623-board-stats-for-april-2008/#findComment-589370161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt-DavidW Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Don't worry about the stats. The main thing is that we regulars love the place. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634623-board-stats-for-april-2008/#findComment-589370171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacik Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Consider the recent changes akin to renovation works, making the place more inviting to newcomers. Yes, but you need to let people know about it and advertise it, otherwise how are newcomers going to know about the changes, or even about Neowin at all?

Rappy Veteran Posted May 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2008 Views should go up soon especially with the big Laptop Competition coming soon and with the newly renovated forums.

Bant Veteran Posted May 5, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2008 How does this measure up in terms of seasonal trends? Spring and Summer generally means people are going outside and stuff ya know?

sundayx Veteran Posted May 5, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2008 There is no visible seasonal trends on Neowin. I actually run a personal Neowin statistics tally, and it seems like we're back to the 2002/2003 registration rate.

Steeley Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm sure it can be explained away somehow. In the meantime this is the forum where I spend most of my time on the net (even though I'm not a heavy poster). You're doing a good job, guys.

Cara Veteran Posted May 5, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2008 We're entering the summer months, people wanna be outside, so less posting and less registering :p What is this "Outside" that you are referring to? Is that the large room with the super bright light that is outside of my front door? Seriously though, I wouldn't be concerned with a drop in stats aside from the ad revenue aspect of things, it might just mean we have more quality posts and less 1 offs.

betasp Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I would be a little concerned. From a user perspective, things have not "seemed right" for the last 6-8 months.

Steeley Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We're entering the summer months, people wanna be outside, so less posting and less registering :p Wouldn't that be somewhat offset by the whole southern hemisphere entering winter (i.e. more people inside)?

Lots of people get sick of that stuff, and there was a TON of it on here in February (with the firefox3 betas) and March (acid3).
