We got home today and I found the new laptop I'd ordered waiting at my door. I bought the old laptop in 2010 I believe. At any rate, I've been going through websites trying to re-create my "favorites" list.
This place isn't easy to find via a web search. I ended up putting in "deer habitat smsmith" in the Bing search bar to find the URL. I didn't remember this site was .net instead of a .com
If I struggled to find the place, and we want others to find it (right?), what do we need to do to make a Bing or Google search hit on the site?

I don't know the answer, but I agree it's hard to find. It took me a while to find it on tapatalk and I knew exactly what I was looking for.

Nothing wrong with hard to find. Keeps the trash out.

Nothing wrong with hard to find. Keeps the trash out. Ya, true enough. I guess the question is...do we want an occasional new user/contributor or do we want to continue with the same folks day after day? I don't miss the inane questions of those totally new to the habitat game...but at some point we're all gonna know what we all know. At that point do we all stop posting/reading because we all know what the other guys know?

I was thinking more of the Yoder's.

Those of us who have been accused of having a harsh tone will keep the snowflakes and Yoders from sticking around here for long. The good ones will stay if they can find it.

For the forum to come up close to a Google search we need a bunch of guys searching for it. If all the members on this forum would do a search for this forum every day for a week it would definitely move up towards the top.

Recruiting would be my preferred mode of growth

I liked the small group of the old site that fell apart, and now I like this group. I'm still a member of the other two groups (habitat talk and deer hunter) and frequent them some when I feel like shifting through the clutter. But this site is where I spend most of my time. It's due to the people on it. Too many people might change that some. Of course I don't really care if a recruiting plan comes about or if this place changes. There's lots of options out there to get the habitat fix I crave.

We lost about half of the users from the old forum. I certainly am not looking for a thousand member forum, those already exist. I think 150-200 would be pretty good

Maybe we should set a goal of each member to recruit 1 new member.

We are at 72 members now. I like new habitat members questions but, hate the yoders , NoFos, and whatever to hell the cop from WI was called. (I can't believe I forgot his name).

Yeah Dipwad was the one. I see Bullwad seems to wore out his welcome at DHF too.
