It was brought up before, but our meets were going very strong up until our fateful encounter with
(excuse the Village reference) - "he whom we don't speak of"
It was suggested that we have an exorcism to ward off what ever bad spirits he left behind, and maybe that's not such a bad idea.

I am disappointed at our fizzled inertia. We once were looked up to (look at the number of hits) on this forum as leaders in a community of diverse people getting together for the love of music and movies and endeavoring to improve our equipment and environments to enhance that enjoyment and to socialize among friends of a kindred spirit.

Interesting timing as I was recently told some interesting stats about our group's participation on HTF during the last four years
(currently the stats only go back about four years, so the following stats do not include all our activity on HTF since Colin originally got things rolling many years ago):
29 = Number of Austin Threads in 'Meets' Forum
308 = Number of All Threads in 'Meets' Forum
6,277 = Number of Posts in Austin Threads
11,392 = Number of Posts in 'Meets' Forum
217,193 = Number of Views of Austin Threads
290,782 = Number of Views of all 'Meets' Forum Threads
120 = Number of Different HTF Members Posting in Austin Threads
+1,000 = Number of Different HTF Members Viewing Austin Threads
I was surprised how many different members have viewed our threads, and how even though our threads only account for 10% of all the 'Meets' Forum threads, our posts account for more than 50%, and they account for more than 75% of all the traffic to the 'Meets' Forum.
Besides the exorcism
, I think what this group needs is more new members to liven up the group with new topics, equipment, HT rooms. Perhaps we might want to consider turning friends and colleagues on to our group and see who shows interest?
