Hi Guys,

I am penning this with a sense of concern.
I have been a member of this site for a couple of years now and have really enjoyed it, lots of fun and lots of laughs.

BUT, what really concerns me, is the lack of activity from most of the members.
Also we have to ask, when we look at Flickr, and Hanks site in the USA, for example, why we are getting very little response here when there is a huge number of enthusiasts out there. There are trucking enthusiasts out there but we are not capturing them.
Personally I do not understand why we aren't.
For me, a big advantage of this site is that photos are uploaded with great resolution, and you can then download the same.

So what are we doing wrong.
I don't know, but we cannot continue with such a small number of active members.

Personally, I inform every trucker I can of this site.
I have had a business card for the last 10yrs, as I am a motorsport photographer as well as a marine photographer, and I have have just arranged for the latest re-print to have "truckandbusforum" and it's details to be printed on the reverse.
I will them give this to every trucker I can and this hopefully will get some new members.

This really is a fantastic site, and I for one want to see it prosper.

It deserves to, but the current members have to participate a little more. (lets face it, it ain't hard to photograph a bleedin truck!!!).

So, any ideas. and thoughts out there. PLEASE, sing out.
