I think it's refreshing to have a cool forum that isn't thousands & thousands full, feels like a kinda elite forum... when you want to post to the masses then the other side is the place to go, but when you want to just deal with closer knit friends & just the real enthusisats then the scene is the place to be
funny, I frequent a few forums & even moderate on a huge forum, but IS has become one of my favorites
I think I know why we have many inactive members that sign up & then nothing more: when a user comes here without signing up, they can't view any attachments nor can they search, so that fact alone will cause signups just for someone to get what they came looking for. don't know if this is desired by you guys or even by design, I mean on one hand it may be great to "force" signups to boost membership, but on the other hand it might be not such a great thing too, just mentioning it cause I have sent several people here & this is the feedback I have gotten.
either way, I think IS is one of the great forums, & considering how tiny it really is, that says alot for you guys

I'm not saying that I hope IS stays small, not at all, don't get me wrong.... opposite really, I wish you guys the best & the most sucess, but numbers don't make a forum, the people do, & that's the one thing you guys are really lucky with, great members & great attitudes of even the staff here... I was a little hesitant to sign up here in the begining cause it just seemed like a small close knit group of friends more than a public forum, but I'm so glad I did wind up joining, now I wish I did sooner
