Forum activity down since FB Page dropped?

[RobD]

A thousand new topics in July? Almost 2300 new posts?  I don't think so. Wasn't that the reorganizing of the forums?

Even June and August are statistical anomalies. Something is skewing those numbers, and September looks to be on track with the rest of the data pre-June 2020.

So all in all, it's basically remained the same once you remove the outliers.

Yes, that was the forum "re-org" that skewed July and August, but not June, nor September.

The TMA will continue to have a Facebook presence, but no conversations will be allowed on that page.

I sincerely  doubt  shutting down the  FalseBook page has caused drop in posts. It's  more likely the Covid 19 caused cancellations in Muzzleloading  Events that has caused the drop. Let's  see  if hunting season brings the posts back up.

I rather think what Nessmuk posted has a whole lot to do with TMA traffic... I expect we'll see an up surge come ML hunting season.

Also, one should keep in mind that it just wasn't the ML events (like the Rendezvous) that were cancelled,,, there were an awful lot of Shooting Ranges that shut down. And now we have all these fires that have effected many a folks... Hasn't been a good year at all, but hopefully we can rebound and get back to some resemblance of normal...

It's nice to see some folks liked the FB forum...given I REFUSE to ever set foot on that place, I ain't got a nickle in that dime...

I have to drive a bit to a range and there isn't good communication on whether it remained open her or not, so it was safer to just NOT go... that and it's not a quality range...IMO... I took my own fold up target and was told if I wanted a bench shot to set up a target at 25 and shoot...now their website makes that sound dicey...Whatever, I may have to NOT renew come January

I like this forum and one other for BP and it also is cyclical... with low points, FWIW...

the ***ONLY*** value that facebook offers the TMA is to redirect folks to the TMA website.

if they don't register at the TMA website, then they are never participating and their "read only" numbers are meaningless to a fair degree. 

there have been 49 new forum registrations since the beginning of march 2020.  3 have become contributing members.  15 have posted and 34 have yet to make a post.

so, i see no reason to believe that the demise of the active TMA facebook page has caused any lessening of TMA forum posting.  we still have a TMA facebook page as read-only, and who knows where those 49 registrants originated?  i will be adding a new mandatory field to the registration, asking how you found out about the TMA.

I think that is a great idea!
