Is forum losing members? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I confess to being one of those members that just kind of...drifted away. I can't even remember why I did so. But now I'm back, most likely, even if on a kind of on/off basis and hoping that most of the faces who were here when I was are still around!

I don't really understand how marriages will help, although I do remember them being the big thing in the chatroom a few years ago.

But I agree that members will be falling away because the movies have finished - the surge of fangirls will have eased off a bit (which I personally consider a very good thing.) As for new members that have joined and you want to keep here, I don't really know how to go about that...just be friendly and chatty and make them WANT to be here.
