Why don't that many people get on here like they used to?

A lot of answers is actually a bad thing…what you want is: a good answer. Isn’t that part of the reason you’d use the site? I know that’s a lot of the enjoyment I get…not from getting a huge list of answers.

As for traffic, yes, we’re down from our peak in July by about 50%…but, oddly enough, returning members are up from then by more than 10%…in other words, while overall traffic is down, people returning to the site is up. Personally, we’re more concered with the percentage people that return, and whether or not it’s increasing over time - as that’s what makes a big difference in our site.

Many are back in school or having to work more because of the world’s economic situation.

Just because you don’t see as many Answers to Questions doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of people viewing the site.

Also, because of time constraints, many people are just being more selective in the Questions that they Answer.

An aside: I notice that you have only asked one Question and given only one Answer in the thirteen months that you have been on the site!

I know its gotten real boring because of it
