MS Speaks

Page view counts here aren't always giving the true picture. You can open a thread to read its posts but that page view won't be counted.

It's no big deal really but it does mean that I have no idea how many people are reading what threads.  I would like to know because a thread that has many views might be a topic that deserves more investigating, more information.

This board could use more readers, probably.

I don't care if people choose not to post and just want to read but it's discouraging to keep posting information that I think might be useful when nobody seems to be getting that information here.

I'm always looking for ways of attracting more readers. Promoting this board on other MS message boards is definitely not something I'd do or have ever done. I do put the URL for this board in my Profile whenever possible, though.

One way to advertise or promote a message board is to spend money but I draw the line there. I'm determined to keep this place free.

Many people with MS are so financially strapped that even a computer is a great luxury for them. They can't be asked to part with more dollars just to keep a message board going.

If anyone has any suggestions for ways to attract more readers, I would appreciate knowing about them.   Thank you!
