Well CURTS .... I would LOVE to see this forum have more traffic as you would but it does take time to get a forum to "that level" when you first start out .... and although oggs.com & casinotabs.com are not new on the net, the forum is.

We only have ONE Mod (Slot Princess) and she & I are both here daily. (although the past week was the exception to the rule with her being here and not me as I had a death in the family and was gone for a week).

We've posted some threads to encourage conversation, and we get no replies. We check our stats and see that we have daily visitors, but not all are members ..... many guests travel through here and glean from the posts that we do make.

Our gambling news IS posted ON THE MAIN WEBSITES. Our slot reviews are posted here and on the MAIN WEBSITES along with the casino reviews as well. (more slot reviews are on the main sites than here on the forum). We try to encourage our members to go to our main sites and benefit from all of the additional information we have here.

We post promos as we find them to come available on those sites we are affiliated with. And, along those lines you must also understand that I personally do not own this forum, or the main sites. Both Slot Princess & I work within the scope of our job duties as noted by the sites owner, who decides how all is to be operated, who we are affiliated with, etc.

We do post on all other forums, but don't believe in "slamming" them weekly with our promos as we respect the fact that they do allow us to post there and don't want to take advantage of it .... it's just not good business practice in my opinion to do so.

We do have a PR person that does our blogging, advertising via other venues, etc.

All in all, it's my personal opinion; from what I've seen; that: all forums are "slow" (so to speak), members themselves should also take more initiative to muster up some conversation .... post their views on casinos, slots, their experiences, etc. & in general the gambling community is at a low peak for many be it finances or the fact that those of us in the USA are limited to where we play and even what slots we can now play with those casinos we can play at (microgaming for example; now deny USA players play on their new slots!)

I appreciate your post & please do give suggestions as to how we can improve and we'll certainly pass those suggestions along to the owner.
