Well I just looked at the stats and we've already achieved 100,000 page views for this month alone and we're not even half way through June. I'm sure some of that traffic has to be new and/or repeat guests but our registration isn't climbing, as I'd like to see it.

I've already hidden the Politics and Religion areas so you can see the forums, you just can't read the content unless you are a registered member. I'd love to keep everything open but at the end of the day, this site needs support as well in the form of new membership and many different viewpoints on important topics. The problem as I see it is that anyone can read but there are only a few of use core members actually discussing some of these larger issues. IMHO, that is no way to have a conversation as it's almost the same as talking to yourself.

Bottom line, we need new blood to continually add their input so these topics can develop.

I may also add or alter a few staff positions to help us catalog some of this priority content because I think it will really help to round out the issues from both a scientific and a personal standpoint.

Look for an announcement on the above soon.
