I know this has always been a general question & answer forum but I feel that "most" of their advertising has only been the little akaQA icon at the top of some browser pages, when I found it I read the information supplied about the site and understood what it was all about, I don't see that icon on pages any more and I feel that even in busier times most people thought they were asking the actual site they were on a question rather than throwing it out there to a worldwide audience, better advertising must be a good idea (if possible), I've tried to get friends involved but most of them pop in and don't see the appeal when they see a few of the questions we answer and the lack of an immediate type of "chat" facility, I suppose sites like facebook spoil things for sites like this.

Keep up with the icons, that's what got me involved. And the administration ought to give T-shirts out as members reached certain amounts of Karma. T-shirts with the address and something to goose the observer's curiosity.....mm

Any business that has a plan to continue operating, will advertise. The only time that advertising is not vital, is if the business is the only one like it. Rare indeed! Since websites and forums are a dime a dozen, this one will not survive because, apparently, they do not believe in advertising. "Appeal" is not the problem. Millions of people do not even know that we exist.

People can't go to a place that they don't know about, simple as that.

When I first clicked on that icon I asked a relevant question.The only answer I got was a smartassed answer.But I hung around anyhow.Most people don't tho I'm afraid.

I also made friends with some very,very nice people here.Most people don't tho I'm afraid.
