For all. Doing just an eyeball check on the number of threads and replies over the past few weeks, it's clear that the other forums are a very small portion of the overall traffic. If you are trying to suggest that while overall FR traffic is up, News/Activism traffic is down, then I am pretty sure that is not the case. I don't think it is even close. However, it might not be a bad idea to see if we can get the stats to be broken down by forum in the future.

That's one of the ironies of the GI forum. People complain that we move all of the fun stuff there, yet no one goes there. I would think that if that is where all the fun stuff is, there would be more traffic there, but there isn't.

The majority of postings on the GI side are the "Daily Threads", (ATRW, WFTD, HOBBITS, Dimensional Door, etc.).

If I am not mistaken, Vanity postings and articles that are of a general nature and not necessarily news, are to be posted there too.

More often than not, migrating Vanities, general news items and such doesn't happen (maybe the Mods are too busy policing threads with the trolls/disruptors/ZOTS/Harpies/Cliques, etc.).

Perhaps if you guys/gals( AM's) had more time for policing the New/Activism side, the GI side would pick up traffic and more people would take an interest in it...just thinking out keyboard here.

Maybe the next time or two when a thread is ZOT'd, move it over to the GI side...food for thought..
