I agree 100%, Stylegala always was a very good site but I think that in the last months the active users are less and less, I'm sad :( Recently I participated in another forum but is not the same... I hope that the site still continue alive V. _________________ Need help with your project?: outsourcing services

I'm going to write a review for typeSites.com instead, and see if there's not a little bit more enthusiasm.

I think there has been little interest in the site since I bought it from David. He sold it at the right time I think :). I have no idea what else to do. I empowered long standing community members to be moderators and site reviewers. I removed some of the obtrusive advertising. In fact the ads that are currently in place are not even paid for. I don't want to take money from people while the site is so under used. If a community votes with it's feet and just decides that it's no good around here anymore then the site has to take it's natural course and die. I can't force people to come here and no matter how many reviews or reviewers I add or moderators or whatever makes no difference. People are just not interested in this being their community. Simon

So, for my part at least, it was nothing personal and nothing to do with any perceived change in the site's direction. I would have liked to have been more involved than I have been, it's just unfortunate timing (for me). _________________ aka 'clemi'

Somebody else put it that SG has like a Dynasty hanging over it, and nothing lives up to it. We hear it over and over and frankly it's unjustified. So did I really want gallery comments gone maybe, and would I want Public News gone, NO. Some feature and design changes are needed to really freshen up the place. You've made sound judgements so far, but if you really feel people are voting then it's time to take a recount of what would make the place rock again. Something new is called for hmmm... There are a few new spin-off kind of review sites, empowering a whole new bunch of reviewers should be possible. By doing a review, even a 1-off they can promote their own sites. I didn't have any problem contacting several people who made comments in the reviews and asking them if they would like to write a review, a few did. I think it requires personal email correspondence with would-be reviewers. I found a cool tool to run a site through for some insider info, check out www.builtwith.com it lists the cms, web frameworks, javascripts, server type, whole bunch of stuff. ty

I love the site and would love to help add content to it. I don't want to see it die as its one of the better laid out and designed sites out there. Let me know if you need some help!
