I think this forum is great - you already have a friendly and welcoming group of people here. Of course, you probably need a lot more of those to keep it active, but that's something I have no idea how to achieve. That's up to you, boss!
Thank you, yeah. I want to bring out the welcoming people we have and also bring new members. Anything helps, so feel free to invite anyone you think could enjoy the community. 
Anyway, just wanted to say I'll always be lurking! I 'joined' your community several times in the past and this time I'm staying.
That means a lot to me and I am really happy you are around. I can't always answer with the depth of knowledge in some topics. So please don't hesitate to talk about anything you like.
Do you have a gameplan? Like, a demographic you're going to target? There's quite a few people here around my age or older, and we elderly folk tend to lack the bottomless sack of time that younger folk have to be crazily active.
My gameplan right now is to reorganise some with the staff regarding contests, forum activities and overall improving our communication. I want to unify a bit more the Spanish and English communities to make things easier on me so I will be asking you guys feedback with some stuff and implementing some of the old suggestions we discussed previously here but never really acted upon. Starting next week I also want to advertise other communities I know are okay with advertising and get people I know from other communities to register with us.
I think it is also worth mentioning that I am doing this effort in conjunction with the Spanish side. 
I am a huge fan of tater tot’s so if we can get those integrated into the community thinks would be great
Agreed. It'd go nicely with the drinking bar right at the lounge.
Just to let you know, guys, dang my luck. Seriously but a chain of little somethings happened at my work place a few days after this thread and have pushed me to the sides, just so don't think I am evaporating again. It is hard for me to change my habits but I am trying to make sure to be here is small bursts every day rather than hoping to get two hours of catching up, otherwise I will never be able to move on. Had to delay things a bit but activity wise I think we can really make this month more entertaining.
I missed thanking you guys on thanksgiving day but I am really grateful for all the members here that have been my friends, even the ones that are not active right now. Many of you I met in other communities and it has been a complete delight making memories with you and having you around. I wanted to make a great detailed post but since I couldn't I don't want to miss at least telling you this.
