First of all and I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, I REALLY REALLY like the name 'The Edge of Reality'. Whoever has come up with it.. hats off. To me, it denotes a very open name with a lot of depth to it. The edge of reality can change from time to time depending on what one or a collective perceives the Reality to be:) So its sort of an ever-green, effervescent name!
Ok to the point - how do we increase traffic here. I see there are about 50 members out here. MUFON forum at about 8000 odd. The other forum i am on - UFOmania has 127 as of today. The member participation i must say is higher here than there. I know since I get on to both - whenever I get on.
The idea is to catalyze something that has more life. We can optimize it for Search Engines but for that we need access to their systems. Is there a way we can buy something like a subscription where they can allow us to make any tweaks?
I don't know how many people will join from Twitter or Facebook. May be auntym could tell us that. Auntym - do u know of anyone who has joined from these sources??
Any other ways? The more people, more discussions, more life!
Regards, Srinivas

Well... there is always a scope for betterment We need more people. We cannot project another 50 in the next 4 months. The curve is dropping. Let us look at another 100 in the next 4. I think what MUFON forum did was good. Force the user to log in. I logged in for sure. How did i get on. I searched for ET discussions, i got to MUFON website, from there to MUFON forum. I think we can do something like that. When i got here, it asked me to create account. You cant read anything without logging in. It did not harm because im interested anyways. So I could get on. This one and the UFOmania don't do that. You can read through posts as Guests. When you have to write, you ask them to register, at the time lethargy creeps in. People 'postpone' it and they never make a post. But to read, usually people sign up. Because i guess reading is a lazier task than writing!! I would more like to call the 'Guests' - 'Ghosts' ;D Let us try forcing users to sign-on before anything for a month or so and track sign-ups. I think all our current members will be more than ok for that. You guys simply have to 'save password' and thats it. What do you say? Regards, Srinivas
