+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted November 2, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted November 2, 2010 Not good. Time for all of us to be more active again, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 2, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted November 2, 2010 If we stopped paying attention to minor increments/decrements, I think we'd all agree that these are still solid results. (Y) The time to worry is when the stats really take a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) The time to worry is when the stats really take a hit. I agree, our worst topics views (due to the forum update problems mainly) were 1.3M for February. Pretty devastating if it became a trend!

+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted November 2, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah, individual month-to-month changes (and the fact February is shorter than any other month...) is why I started making these graphs in the first place. It's nice to see trends rather than data points without context Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amon91 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 When you look at topics/replies, we're clearly on a downward spiral (judging by the graphics). Maybe you can only grow so big. Still, every site has ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan R. Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Not sure what else there is to do. Neowin already looks fantastic especially compared to other sites. I think the atmosphere is great in most places. Obviously complacency can be a b***h and innovation is always good. Personally, I'm glad Neowin is what it is!

thechronic Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 To be honest i don't think its serious. Neowin does have a great forum but what will interest most casual readers is the articles on the portal, so long as good content is on the frontpage this site is going nowhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 4, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted November 4, 2010 We need a good community project, they have been dwindling over time and thats where we lost a lot of visitors. Do you have some suggestions? Or maybe some examples or past projects so that people can get an idea of what kind of projects we should be thinking of?

Bioran Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Rehashing an idea/question from the September topic, but is it possible for Neowin to get their hands on more reviews of highly anticipated devices/software/etc.? Reviews are one of the things which draws me to certain tech sites. I know Neowin is already doing reviews, but is it possible to have more and a greater variety of them? (Take a look at Engadget, for example, they have reviews for handsets, laptops, apps etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews are one of the things which draws me to certain tech sites. I know Neowin is already doing reviews, but is it possible to have more and a greater variety of them? (Take a look at Engadget, for example, they have reviews for handsets, laptops, apps etc.) The problem we face is getting those vendors to supply us with products. With engadget being located in the US and being full time writers, they can get products fairly easy. I'm sure almost all of their reviews are companies contacting them. Neowin on the other hand, mostly has to contact the vendors and manufactures to be on product review lists. When I went to CES last year, my first question was do you have product reviews? If they said yes, my second question was do you ship to Canada? 95% said no. So that really limits the amount of products I'm available to, but we do have US staffers aswell. It's just getting our name out there that we DO review products and have a large audience who reads them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
