Why is this board so quiet??

It doesn't seem like there is very much posting each day. Anyone know why? I know the sister board, Atkins Diet Bulletin Board is jumping.:Love Doctor:

There are a couple other boards that are more active and I wondered the same thing. I like this board. And I'm getting used to the quiet, and starting to like that too! I don't feel overwhelmed with lots of things I'd like to respond to. I also wonder if ALL the boards won't pick up after New Year's...

The only problem with quiet is that if you need information or a question answered, it takes a while to get responses. Other than that, it isn't too bad.

I don't know why it has been so quiet! I see a lot of other action on the other SB boards. But, I find that I kinda like this one better. I feel closer to the people that respond to me and encourage me!!

What other SB Boards are there?

We are still growing.
Please tell your friends about us. The more people we get the more posts.

Also it is normal that at this time of year the boards slow down.
It should pick up in early January.

FWIW, I check here as frequently as the other SB boards I belong to. I think with a lower level of activity in general, it takes longer to get questions answered than when there are more people chipping in along the way. This board is much more active now than a few months ago when I first started posting here when there were like 3 of us!! As Tom said, it's a growing process. Just got to get to the "tipping point" of critical mass and keep moving forward until then.

I'm with Jilly and makkat that I like the smaller, homey feel here as well. There's a stronger sense of community and civility here than at the larger board I moderate for instance, IMO.
