Several others as well have dropped off over the last couple of years that are "mia".
Like WD for example.

Ya know... over the past years of being a member of Tnet... i have noticed a "trend"... or "algorithm" of sorts for members ...
A member may be really "present" for a long while - varying lengths... then all of a sudden poof they aren't...
Then... they reappear after some time and start again.
Not always the case but i have noticed it.
Also... many long members that were really active at the beginning (like me for example) then "mellow out" over time... so not as present or active as once were etc.

Some have dropped off for a year or more then reappear only occasionally.
Some drop off for short periods then are active each time they re-appear then drop back off.
Some drop off permanently.... i think due to a change in lifestyle or change in attitude toward detecting in general... or health... and with some even passing.

Yes... we lost many during Covid... due to illnesses.

 

[CreekSide]

Ok well it’s nice to be back home. I have to do some running around town today then maybe I can play for a while. We will see how the day unfolds.

Once the banner went away the traffic went way down. When there was a banner people who were not members here would still come to see all the finds on the banner....it was a major attraction that caught the attention of people who really didn't metal detect.....it was the attention getter that made this site an attraction to the general public. Now there is no banner and nothing to dazzle the average person, and make them pause and linger here. Pictures and video are the attraction that get people to stay and actually read a post. The removal of the banner has cost the sight dearly in traffic. It was one of the best things about the site and they removed it.....traffic started dropping off immediately......many of the people that left are sharing videos and stories and pictures on Instagram now instead of here. This site is slowly fading and the banner was a major attention getter for the general public. That banner caught everyone's attention and made them linger on t-net.

Perhaps a "banner bring back" party should be started............

Who will supply the Rum ? ? ?....... i volunteer to help whoever is in charge of that part.

Well regardless of the future of Tnet........

I plan on "going down with the ship"..... IF in fact that is its future.... i dont think so though.

Like i said........ i have so much time under my belt here.... it is a "home away from home" for me....
And i am a loyal homebody.

This is t-net....I can tell there is very little traffic because of this feature.....if i do not post, im not listed up here.....but if i post, and if I get a few likes, I see my avatar back up here. It means im getting top level reactions with only a handful of likes.....it means there is no traffic anymore....it only takes 10-15 likes to be back up in the mix of top reactions !? That means its just a handful of us keeping this site alive with our regular visits.....there are only a handful of regulars now. Most are here on rct also....we support each other here, and its a big driver of t-net....I see many of the regulars who didn't participate here....are now participating here on rct....your baby ARC is really the heart of t-net now.....bring back the banner and traffic will return.
