Lack of Contributions

Compared to other motorcycle brands/sites, we contribute more forum posts than most. We also contribute well in uploading photos.

However, as a group we don't contribute much in other areas of Rat.Net. Specifically, the Blogs and Product Reviews.

Web Links does receive contributions, but it hasn't grown beyond the 400-440 total links range in the last five years. Primarily because websites disappear as quickly as they are added, which is something we can't control.

Product Reviews has always been something that has been slow to adopt. The former product review system was extremely simplistic, and folks enjoyed browsing the items. When I converted Rat.Net, most of the product reviews were extremely old. I ended up dumping the old information this morning, again because of the age of the reviews. If it doesn't pick up, I may remove the product reviews feature due to lack of interest.

The Blogs system won't go away, because it has valuable information within it. However for a group of folks who customize as much as Harley Owners do, we tend to share very little of it or anything else we do. The ease of the current system beats anything done before, but overall we aren't major contributors in this area either.

Classifieds don't concern me, they represent a form of "short-term" information.

Let me know your thoughts,
