I feel what's making this place less and less interesting is the lack of new members joining up and staying around with a real passion for music. New members with something new and different to contribute and actually investing their time doing it. I'm not quite sure why this is, people use the internet differently today than they did five years ago and I guess most people would rather spend their time on Facebook or Twitter rather than on a forum. It's not just MB though, the music section in my other main forum has noticeably declined over the past few years both in the quality and quantity of posts. It's almost like all new members are signing up here either to spam or just dick about and kill time.

We also can't rely on the same old members to deliver the goods constantly. Quite a lot of long standing members here are adults with jobs and other important commitments and they might not have much time to contribute like they used to. Come September I might not even be around anymore myself due to other priorities.

I think the main focus should be on finding a way to attract interesting new members and keep their interest in this place. Unfortunatly this could be difficult due to the lack of development of this place by the admins and also the attitudes of some members here.
