Have you considered linking a Feedburner feed to WCF? It can automatically update the feed every time something is posted. I have used feedburner for the past two years and it is very simple to set up and give multiple people access to if you want.
I like #4 and will volunteer to assist in any way I can to keep the forum going. Anything you need or would like me to do let me know. I actually think adding some areas for other topics is a great idea.In the past I have toyed with the idea of adding a forum to my website but have decided aginst it because WCF is here and you are right that there is a wealth of information on here that it would be a shame to lose.
It has been my experience with Facebook thus far that it is fairly worthless as a method of promotion. Perhaps I will do more on Battles & Book Reviews to promote the site. I am getting pretty steady non-spider traffic of about 750 unique visitors a day, maybe I can drive more traffic to WCF. I am also going to try and start more topics on history stuff.
Do you do any type of analytics? What do your visitor stats look like? I don't understand it either. Maybe we just need to ramp up topic creation. Don't give up hope just yet.
I will be sad to see it go. I have made several friends here over the 6+ years I have been posting here. Friends I don't want to lose. I know the forum has been slow lately and has started to degenerate into a political forum. ( I am just as guilty of that as anybody else). Don't let the forum die though. If you don't want to keep it alive let one of us take it over. I would be willing to do so and bear the costs of running and administering it.I keep thinking over the past few weeks I need to start more topics but between maintaining my own pages and working on the house there are just not enough hours in the day.If cost is the issue I am sure we can some up with a solution.What do you say?
It is pretty funny but we are probably both now on the NSA “watchlist” for not only looking at them but finding them funny.
In time you will come to see things as I do. I can wait.
Given all the recent revelations that time may come faster than either of us think. :-[
Just don't go to flickr or the “man” will keep tabs on what you look at.In all seriousness, you are right that Shorpy is a great site. It is one of those you can get lost on for hours if you are not careful.
I'd also lived through the Viet Nam war, Watergate, and the Carter presidency. IMO some of our nation's worst times.
Until the present. I don't think we have ever had an Admin as dangerous to the rights of the individual as today. I am increasingly convinced that the current administration only cares about the individual to the extent that they can be used to keep them in power.We truly are entering the era of the collective.I am starting to think Donnie is not so far around the bend after all.
I just found it interesting that the Spanish went so far north. I always thought they did not go north of Florida.
There is another possible break in the Earhart disappearance. Apparently TIGHAR has discovered a sonar anomaly just off the coast of the island where they believe Earhart crashed. The anomaly supposedly is the right size and in the right location to what they think the crash site is to actually be the remains of er aircraft. They don;t know right now for sure and won't know until they go back and have the chance to dive on the site. I find it interesting to track their efforts though.
‘They don’t want to integrate’: Fifth night of youth rioting rocks StockholmRead the above article and tell me it does not sound like the Swedish reporter writing the piece is not whining?Why are Europeans, and many Americans, so afraid to admit that the problem is Muslims? Personally, I think it has to do with the legacy of WWII and Nazi & Japanese racial extremism. That legacy has made it impossible to talk about such issues let alone deal with them effectively. Muslims are exploiting that to try and do through our own policies what they could never do on their own.
when immigrants are not assimilated into mainstream culture - and Islamic immigrants may have an even more difficult time at this than others - they form factions which are able to riot.
Muslims refuse to integrate, it is not that they have a difficult time with it, they don't want to in the first place.
It is not just Brits who don't get it. Apparently many in the West don't get it or are at least unwilling to admit that the problem is not isolated Muslim extremists but Islam itself.A good example of this willful ignorance is the coverage of the Stockholm riots this week. The press has bent over backwards to avoid admitting that the riots are emanating from the Muslim quarters of Stockholm. The linguistic contortions would be entertaining if they were not so pathetic.
