    Right. Some (the subs) make up a direct cash cow, others (non-subs) are marketable eyeballs. RHP is a business enterprise.
    Excellent one line summary, JS. Thanks. Unfortunately, the size of its "direct cash cow" component has recently dwindled. RHP's been upgraded systematically over the past twelve years. Game of chess is still the same. Some public forums have attracted and retained increasing numbers of contributors; some have remained at constant levels of activity (whether high or low). Thread and post activity within this centerpiece forum, which appears at the top of the public forum menu, has gradually declined with an accelerated decline in the past year. Post Volume Average/Day: June 29 to July 29, 2013, only 30 posts each day; July 30 to August 28, 2013, 22 posts each day. FB, attractive options, word games; less hospitable; other?

    Thank you, Ponderable. You distilled the op's essence to its irreducible.

    I imagine your contributions skew these totals just a wee bit.

    "Sorry, what?"... your next thread in this forum to help promote conversation.

    "Who's we?".... the general audience which reads threads and posts to this forum.

    "And, why?"... because you're an active member who cares about Red Hot Pawn's well being.

    What topics are you considering?

    A) I'm not interested in promoting conversation here;
    B) You don't speak for anyone but yourself; and
    C) I am not particularly active here nor do I care about this site's well-being.

    So yeah, 0 fer 3.

    CP, I'd look at the photos if my Explorer was exploring.
    It's refusing to handle links. Would you please comment on them.
    Thank you.
