Congratulations everybody for getting your friends, and fellow dj's out into the community, your hard work should be very much so commended. So now I really would like to create a proposition and maybe get you thinking for a few days on ODJT's future. As we all mentioned and stated about other DJ sites is... what good is it to have numbers, but the inactivity. Think back to the members you have invited over here... There are lots who have sticked with us, and others who have not participated, either by choice, time restrictions, or xyz. My idea currently is lets think from a DJ standpoint "a more involved crowd" you familiar with, reading your crowd and act accordingly... And for a board, I feel we have done a dang good job of doing that so far. Once again an applause to you.
If you have noticed on the "What's Going On?" part of our main page you will see a drop down bar for "Total members that have visited the site in the last 24 hours" it gives a number... Now using some basic math I can find out a percentage of members who visit here simply by looking at those value. I have not once seen it spike above 50%, we have hovered around 35-40%, my goal is something unrealistic indeed, but limitless and can be a goal you set personally or here as a group. Lets break 50 at least constantly, but aim for 100% members checking us out.
To me, if we are going to beat or seriously compete with the bigger DJ forums we need to work on thinking of the "little guy's" who are just a little less vocal in the community, at least getting them to learn one piece of golden information could be the difference for them as being a good DJ service and a GREAT one! So this is a rally to say hey LETS BETTER OUR INDUSTRY, one member at a time!

35-40% participation is actually great numbers for any forum. As we continue to grow I expect that number to fall. It would be create to keep it the same or better. However, I don't think that's realistic.
