I think Facebook has helped the site. There is a Facebook page set up, and there are 743 members there. The forum saw a nice growth spurt concurrent with the FB page. I'm probably averaging 40-50 new members a week on a forum that is based on a product that is on life support.

There is a technical area, and a social area, and interest in the social area has not diminished. I have never paid a dime to promote the site, other than buying stickers. The stickers make a nice profit, too. The ulitmate was having a site sticker show up on a Dickies commercial on TV. We still don't know how it got there.

Notice the "CVN" oval in the big "S" on the sign.
