Well, the stats still say we are considerably down in traffic. There is a distinct difference between the regular posters making posts and traffic coming from Google. My hope was that engagement would go up and it has. My fear was that traffic would go down and it has. What part of the calculation was, in switching platforms, was that over time, the extra engagement and more posts would lead to growth over the longer-term. Only time will tell on that one.
By making this the best place I possible can, with the nicest user experience and fastest page load times, people will want to hang out here, have fun, banter, learn and contribute. The only problem is I've started to get addicted to posting on here myself! But I have set a goal to cut that down, because I have such a massive todo list, I find that when I get stuck in on the political discussions, for example, it sucks up all my time and I get nothing done!
