• It's true, we've plateaued.

    We've doing around 7,800 visitors per day, but around 190k per month. This is lower than it used to be. Which means we have a stronger core but fewer new people stopping by.

    90-9-1 still applies.

  • Do you think that’s because the fixed thing has had its day? It’s all fatbikes and gravel bikes these days.
    Or has the forum driven off any and all newcomers?

  • LFGSS is hardly a googleable term. And the trends are far from fixed and singlespeed now.

    But I also think communication has splintered even more. Things like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, local and club WhatsApp groups, etc... I'd need to really improve on the forum software to keep track of how people want to communicate about cycling.

    I think the combination of trends in cycling, slowdown of cycling as a growth market, and changes in online communication all factor a little.

    Looking around a lot of sites seem to be suffering, we're suffering less than others. And the place is still quite fun.

  • The forum isn't so fixed focussed now though is it? We've seen the current projects threads follow the ever changing trends in cycling and perhaps even lead in a few areas.
