Yep you have hit the nail on the head Jim. If it gets posts it keeps going, if it gets little or no posts then I have to start thinking is it worth it.
I'm happy to give it another year as I mentioned here: [Invalid Thread ID] But Around Montmorillon is not my priority. I'm happy to pay for the hosting and to run it but I'm not and never was an active member of Around Montmorillon myself, I chip in as and when I can to try and stimulate interest as do a few other members but I just need to know it's being used for me to keep an interest in it.
So yes it's up to the members to make a few posts now and then to keep it active. It's safe from going to the wall like it was before every month due to lack of posts. I'm not running it for any reason other than I think it is a valuable source of local information, but even I have to look at it each year and weigh up if it's worth it.
So as far as I'm concerned post and it stays, stop posting and it goes. It doesn't need and due to it's nature won't get 100s of posts each month but it does need a few each month to keep it active if not people go away like Tersu said in her post above and it's gone.
