Almost every time I pop on here to be inspired, I click on the view new posts button, and it comes up with an empty page. Don't get me wrong, some times it full and packed with some interesting builds and discussions, but a lot of times its just, well.... empty. How can we fix it?

Pants off Friday?

We want to attract new members, not scare them off..

Welcome to my world Troy
A couple of things to consider though:
1/ Our membership is relatively small compared to other model sites.
2/ Of the total membership number, only a core group are regular forum contributors, (and to those guys I say thank you). This being the case we will never see the number of daily new posts you would be used to seeing on sites such as AMI or Hyperscale.
3/ Airliners and Civil Aircraft is very much a niche/Special Interest modelling area.
4/ As predicted, the unstoppable rise of FB Modelling Groups is killing traditional model sites such as this one, (and I am coming to accept what that will inevitably mean for this site moving forward ).
Note that Adam and I, as site moderators, try to regularly post, (to keep things ticking along), but there is only so much we can contribute on any given week.
I am very mindful of your observations though Troy, and would be open to any suggestions moving forward, (with the exception of people running around without pants on ).

Every Saturday I could open a Packing Box and let you all know what is inside that I haven't seen for at least three to twenty-two years ...

OK, Troy I have added a couple of build threads, I am interested to see this stand you have procured for Retro Roo.
