When I first started reading postings on this forum I had noticed that activity would often be very anemic. Maybe my memory is off but it seems like nothing would post in over a months time. Because of this I decided to start posting and reacting to posts. To be fair there have also been periods where there was a good deal of activity. However the number of active contributors is actually very low. Why is this? I just posted a key which has now been viewed 500 times. I didnt make it and. I am surely not looking for a pat on the back because I bought it. But for a forum dealing with the many facets of antique locks and keys, getting zero feedback on the forum is in my mind very puzzling. Therefore I propose making the forum a pay to view forum. The thinking here is that because it cost you money you may feel a bit more inclined to participate.
