Yes agreed. It seems the attention span is a very limited window these days. If it's not easy to join or content isn't there? Folks are gone, they don't stick around. My site is site is set to not be seen unless you join. I argue the content thing here all the time. It's finally starting to take notice. I in fact spent a few days last week looking at other platforms and what they offer to members? Not to switch to there software but to just see content differences. (18 other software companies). Dude. It blows my mind to how far behind we are in content being provided to members. AND THERE HUGELY ACTIVE! What I noticed in my research is a lot of what they offer as platforms is the same stuff we had on Dolphin. All that has to be done is connect the areas that provide interest here.

Yes reading this is exactly what I have been struggling with. I have about 10 friends on my site, but the others are friends of friends kinda thing. But it seems most stop at first level friends, lol. And yes people like to see things before they join. So having a site that is closed off to pubic can be a task to get people to join. It's like putting your hand in to the black box. You really don't know whats inside, but you take the step forward in hopes it is good. <<< it's this step that is painful for some, lol.

this is more of a human behavior and risk taking thing and acclimitaztion/behavioral repetition thing... :) ive been studying psychology to figure out ways to hack at the fabric that pins this situation together.. :) but in an honest way.
