Hi James
It cannot be directed at you. You pretty much hold this whole place together.
I tried my hardest to try and get traffic to the site. I did everything I believe I could. I spent many hours working on the site, many many hours on SEO and paid a lot of money on SEO. I got the site up to page 1 in Google for a few good terms but it was still real hard to get the visitors here.
Then after all this effort, last year Google dropped the site from the front page and it vanished into the abyss.
Considering the amount of time and money spent this was incredibly disheartening however this is the way things work in the SEO game.
I am truly grateful to the likes of James, Poly and everyone else who continues to try and keep this forum alive.
Over the last year or so I have been incredibly busy in my job. I have a young family and I also have to try and actually get some guitar playing in. So my time resources have been stretched to the max. Therefore I have not been putting the time into developing a new strategy to bring more users to the forum and I am even guilty of not posting nearly as much as I should do.
So I am not going to give in and I will dedicate more time just as soon as I can. for now I am going to move the domain in case it is that that is causing the penalty within Google.
Thanks for the continued support.
