    Webmaster, I'm in a communications and information science class right now. I'm curious. Why are there so few people communicate here if you have such a large membership? It appears the same tiny voices seem to dominant here. Have you done any matrix or statistical study as to why this is the case? Does this factor influence your memmbership? What does it do to influence the political orientation of your site? Have you done a comparative study with other sites? What personality driven traits have you uncovered that dominate or submit others to their way of thinking and influence? What behavorial studies do you and other site creators look for in the population?

    I know this is directed to Webbie, but Imma throw my 2 cents in.

    In short, the climate here is often not conducive to friendly communication.

    Blacktiger, I don't think it's that serious, lol...at least not to Webbie. Maybe if it was a paying site....
    but at this juncture, it's more of a set-it-and-forget-it...and if (when) the Forum overcooks, he hears the alarm and re-sets it. :)

    The personals section is paid though, right? Doesn't seem like many posters utilize the personals or vice versa.

    Yes it is, which actually bodes to my point. It would better serve him to focus any analysis on his paying customers, no? Particularity if there is little crossover.

    Blacktiger it is the same in most of the European groups in Black Planet. They want membership but,would not communicate.

    No disrespect to webbie, but the personals suck. I think a personals makeover could do wonders for this site.

    I do have a couple of black chicks on my radar.

    I've never been closed to dating black (or any other) women though.

    We aren't on too often because if we do that, we're accused of having no life and spending all day on here.

    So really it's no big deal BlackTiger.

    I think participation in the forum comes and goes but most are lurkers who sign up accounts to be able to read the restricted areas.

    Every day I approve around 10 new signups in the forums and about 5 new ads in the personals. There are around 100 new signups in the forum each day but most are spam accounts, which are blocked.

    Site currently averages about 700 unique visitors per day. Most are browsing the personal ads.

    True. The homepage as well.

    I purchased the following software. But they have to be modified to work with the other pieces as well as the merchant account:

    http://www.amember.com
    http://www.datemill.com
    http://www.invisionpower.com

    The adult section will be split off into a separate site.
