You look at the visitors who visit the site, they equal the active membership of all other fora

All those who read it ,know it's name. They don't have to Google search it. A Google searcher will not be interested in hs yet.

Very much aware. Something I posted here recently was quoted in PFM but not in its entierity, to put me in the worst possible light.
I still think we would have more visitors if easier to find.

My guess is nobody who would read it , hasnt already
But that's it isn't it, your guess?

I didn't find this by google or rather I did after it "not being mentioned" elsewhere. I can't see how making it more visible will do any harm, can only make things better surely?

Oddly enough, that's exactly how you will find it. Search "hifi forum," singular and it's nowhere, search "hifi forums," plural, and it's on the second page of results. If you add the hyphen so that the search reads "hi-fi forums" it slips to page three of the results. :o

A search for "NVA forum" returns a link on page one of the results to the NVA site "Contact Us" page, which has a link to the forum, but not the forum itself. It does, however, return a link to the "Ban on all discussion of Richard Dunn (NVA) and The Hi-fi Subjectivist" thread on AOS and several NVA reviews on OTHER forums.

As remarked, greater visibility can certainly do no harm and may do some good.

Up to a year ago i wasn't bothered, preferring quality to quantity. BUT this recent concerted effort to blacklist and censor us has raised my hackles. Who the feck do these knob heads think they are, ensconced on their own little fiefdoms dictating what people are ALLOWED to read.

If we have posts from here being quoted, inaccurately or not, on other fora (forums if you must) then we need to consider that some who read those quotes will be interested in finding the original. If we make that easier it will be harder for those with ill intent to get away with misquoting.

But more people are reading lies and insults than the truth, it is the truth we need to get out there.
