Dear Art-lover, I do not know your skills in the field of SEO (search engine optimization), but if you are an expert in this, you must understand that for a resource that exists only 9 months, it is very much. And promotion held (and continues to be) not just a "normal", and the maximum - as much as possible and permissible (the specialists will understand me).

Alexander-san, my skills in SEO enough to appreciate the high efficiency of your efforts to move the resource to network and search engine rankings. Here I fully agree with Eugene. Please accept my congratulations - great work!
However, optimization for search engines - only the first stage of the rocket, which must lead the site in high orbit. Guru of promotion has long indicated a strong shift from SEO to content.
As an information resource base on artinvestment.ru largely been formed, the most dynamic part of the site in terms of generating high-quality content could be a forum.
But the dynamics of the forum over the past week shows, in my opinion, that the impact of the efforts of the technical plan would not be as large as before. In the best case - a linear growth. Noting that the number of participants has the potential to increase tenfold, I was referring to was not criticizing your work, and the real possibility of a synergistic effect of the use of human factors and structural and technical innovations.
And in this issue with my interests (and they are the same as that of the other participants - this is all that concerns art) coincide with your interest to increase the popularity of the site.

Since you write that "the meaning of such discussions maloponyaten", then obviously, you do not see any possibility that any improvement. You are doing a lot on the classification and structuring, "Guide to the Forum" - a useful thing. However you look at what is happening "outside" in terms of external challenges, and I, as a participant - from the inside. The fact that people are communicating, means, among other things, that they spend part of his life, and life for something so worth it. And so the inside can be seen that in this conversation a lot of time goes into lots of little "routine" operations - in the long search for the necessary data (which are not found where, logically, should be), to have very long to look through the pile, so that not miss the interesting events or messages, the explanation with someone who does not read your previous statements, or really without going into the context, and so on. And there are many seemingly small things, of which the sum is not perceptible in words, but "gut" feel the atmosphere of the forum.
This subtle aura invisible to the casual observer affects the willingness of participants to spread the forum notorious precious "content" and the quality of the discussion. In general, on how creative, inspiring, productive and attractive to participants is the life of the forum. And this is mainly depends how active will connect new members.

In this regard, let me not agree with the fact that

to predict the development of the current situation, much less certain "symptoms" - a thankless task

From prevention surely no harm.

I have long experience in network discussions and I know how different processes can be developed. And since I am familiar with Web-design and issues of social communications, to me, MB, easier than other participants, to catch "symptoms" (by the way, is not necessarily negative) and to make explicit the constructive proposals for public discussion.

Thanks for the link VM Mariupol, "counselors" in 1950. (You see, I judge by name and did not guess that there is going to talk to interesting strangers themes).
Note that I am not criticizing this style of communication, and planned to discuss possible measures to reduce its costs. Until just do not have time.

Merry Christmas!
