As a team, the CZT have discussed several avenues to get our site hopping again. It may seem to some (newer members, people just returning after a hiatus) that we are still slow or "dead", however, we have made great strides in picking up the activity here. In just a few months, we have gone from less than 10 trades a month completed to over 30 with at least 10 or more active trades at any given time! Additionally, we are seeing upwards of 75 members logging in daily (up from 35 or less) and a new member on an average of every other day. With all that being said, my question is: What do you think would help boost more activity on TCC?I have discussed this topic with the other CZT, but now I want to hear from everyone else. Let us know what you think or what you would like to see. Keep in mind, that we have limited abilities so some ideas, while good, may not be feasible at this time. NOTE: This is not for you to bash or call out. If you have nothing but negative to comment on this post, PM it to me. I will delete posts that are not pertinent or that are out of line. Posting it again will not be tolerated

I don't like the argument that the home page has anything to do with the decline in activity here on TCC. Look at some of the other, more successful, forums. They don't even have home pages. Since I still have access to TCC's analytics, I can also tell you that TCC's home page isn't even the first page that most people who visit TCC see first. In fact, it's not even close!
The home page is only the first page that people see when they visit TCC 9.13% of the time and is only viewed 3.48% of the time overall (in the last 30 days). Even if all of those people registered, keeping in mind that most of those are probably spiders and bots, we'd still be having this same conversation.
I don't know what the answer is for activity but I can assure you that TCC's decline is not because of any single reason, and especially not because the home page is outdated. It's also, unfortunately, not something that can be fixed quickly, or without the help of as many people as possible.

Here is my take. I've been a member here for 7 years. I left for awhile but still a member. I give my opinion hoping there's no resentment.
It's gotten boring here. It's not the site, not the homepage, not the great folks who are avid TCC users and are consistent on a daily basis. I see the veterans of the site doing they're best to keep it active.. but lets face it.. really not much to look at which makes it un-appealing to other users and newer members. I'm here everyday several times a day. My first look is at trading/selling.. Baseball, Football, and Basketball. Every time I sign on looking for a new thread in these topics I see the same one that's been sitting unanswered for days and days. I have noticed some buckets I look at are containing 2 handfuls of low end cards from a member that has 10,000 post's and 300 trades. It doesn't add up and if I can see it, so can others. Even the trades that are made are fairly mediocre and boring.
I come here, or sign up for this site looking for Levi's and all I see are Wranglers. Excitement that used to be here will be here again but we need to keep the page alive.. fresh everyday with new stuff, information, and Interaction.
Just my opinion. Thanks.
