From your perspective it may seem like a lot of turnover, but relative to other sites on the Internet, it is not. Most forums do not have members still posting after seven years, and most forums do not have the immensity and consistency of members posting on a daily basis. And that's not mentioning the tens of thousands of people who visit Lottery Post every hour for information.
The forum is an important part of Lottery Post, and that's the way people get to know one another and answer questions, but that is not my only reason for creating Lottery Post. The vision was never just a forum with other stuff attached. The vision of Lottery Post is a center of lottery activity, with a healthy and vibrant forum. I believe I have accomplished that, and I am continuing to expand Lottery Post all the time.
If people want to stop by and never post on the forums, that's fine. If one day they decide to join the discussion, that's even better. If they want to post their predictions on the predictions board, that is awesome. But there's no pressure to doo anything other than what each individual wants to do.
Lastly, I will challenge the members here, that if you want to continue expanding the membership, and keeping people coming back every day, then you and I have to:
- Welcome and embrace new ideas
- Get rid of personal attacks and throw our egos out the window
- Understand that nobody has all the answers
- Resist forming cliques shun attacks behind peoples' backs
- Congratulate people when they win, even if we disagree on the methods used to achieve the win
- Say "thank you" in over-abundance
- Post feedback on each and every thread where we get some useful information, every single time we do it, even if it is only to say "thanks"
I can personally do these things (and I do indeed try every day to do these things), but that has almost no effect compared to the value of everyone doing these things, all the time.
For example, if more people would have done the last three things on LottoVantage's threads he would still be here posting today. It is everyone's loss that he is not.
