Over the past couple of years, we have seen a decline in traffic on TCC and in the Hobby in general. However, there are sites out there with thousands of members online daily. I have seen a ton of threads either complaining about the lack of traffic on TCC or with suggestions to fix it(and even posted a few of my own), however not much is being done but talk.


Here is my question to you: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP TCC AND THE HOBBY?

I ask this for one simple reason. If you are doing something and its helping, then share it so that others can as well.

For instance, I have taken on the TCC Facebook updates and even though I don't use it daily, we have seen several names online in the past month that haven't been on in quite so time. I am not saying that they are all back because of Facebook, however, I know of at least three that I chatted with on face and then within days, they were back posting on TCC.

Another example is the Snake Thread. I am trying to revive it. Folks, let me explain something about contests and giveaways. The people hosting are usually getting NOTHING in return. It is for people who can to help out other members. I enjoy giving cards away from time to time. I love seeing people getting PC items that they need. This is one reason I love my Low Budget Box Breaks. They are fast, fun, and affordable. And you have a good chance of getting some PC items that you may not have been able to afford outright.

These are just a couple of small minute things. And yes, they may only be slightly helping the site, but if we all were helping just a little, things would be getting better exponentially!

Disney does motivational sales classes that they teach all over the world. Their number one point is this:

If you can make 100 things 1% better the outcome will be tremendously noticeable. However, if you try to make 1 thing 100% better, you will most likely fail and no one will even notice.


Lets fix the little things. If everyone on TCC tried to make things 1% better, we would be the most amazing site on the internet!
