Another reason why waybackmachine is so useful. Though I don't see a page that dates back as far as you say. I found out about them in 1998 I think. I think I did my first web page in 1998, or 1997... what a thrill. I wish I still had it... ;)

just checked it out - must say i half expected to see blue & white painted Celt animate across the page... looks very interesting from a casual glance...

Thank you ... yes, I've worked very, very hard here and really appreciate you noticing. The site has been around for about a year.

I think the main problem is that there are just so many other really good computer-related forums that there is such heavy competition out there.

As for our traffic ... we do get a very decent amount. (Search engines bring us an average of a little over 100 unique visitors per day) The problem is that very few people actually register or contribute compared to the amount of traffic we get. Most of our visitors come in via the search engines directly to certain threads, where they get the info they want, and leave (never even seeing our login/register page).

I've ran out of ideas to hook people. I was thinking of putting the register/login form directly on all of our pages (so everyone would see it) but that just seems like it would clutter everything up so much.

Another major problem right now is the host. The site goes down A LOT (and I mean A LOT). So that's an enormous turn-off I'm sure. I'm working on resolving this right now. (On hold with tech support as I write this actually.) Hopefully this problem will be fixed VERY SHORTLY!

Personally I like the 3d style better too. But most people don't which is why I made the flat version the default.

I am very glad I found this website, I've been looking for a computer related website, and well this has hit the nail on the coffen for me.. All the topics here are very helpful.. Even the walk throughs. I'm sure their are alot of great web forums, but I'm going to stick to this website for awhile.. And as for the topic I prefer the "3d"..
