just Josh Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 this forum doesn't seem to get much traffic at all does it? Is this still a fairly new forum or is it just a limited exposure site? Quote
multitom Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Even I was wondering ? Forum being new! I don't think so Quote
gator Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 i think its quality of people not quantity of people. thanks for allowing me to be a small member contributor in a small way Quote
wilder Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 It may not seem to have much traffic, but try asking a question and you will be amazed at the number and quality of replies you get. Me? I am just glad to be a member. Clayton717 1 Quote
Travis Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 We've been around for awhile. SSV was founded on January 1, 2009. We're a small community, but I think we have a wealth of info, resources and amazing members who'll help you out when you get stuck. We get about 500-600 people per day visiting, most of which are lurkers or folks looking for free patterns (we have nearly 1,500 free patterns available). While we don't have the backing of a huge publishing company, I think our tight-knit group is a great place to talk shop with fellow scrollers. Plus, if you have a question, you'll get some some great answers without the risk of your question getting buried in the forums. But that brings up a good point. Big websites vs small websites? They both have their pros & cons. What do you like about each? What do you think? Quote
Dan Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Well, some days are busier than others. Keep checking in and ask questions, offer advice, and my favorite...show pictures. We all love picture. My favorite reading material use to be comic books. Quote
kardar2 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Yep this forum is my favorite . The scrollsawer forum frowns on you if you speak about another publication other then their's. I don't even subscribe to their magazine. Here at the village you can talk about any magazine or website and not have to worry about the moderator pouncing and locking a thread on you. This is "best little village" Clayton717 1 Quote
Docupton Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 I agree, I have checked out a couple of the other sites but prefer the informality and friendliness of the Village, I've got good neighbours. Quote
jerrybritner Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Yes we may be a Village and not a large city, but within our population you will find the best kind of folks anywhere...remember don't judge a book by its cover....stick around and our little Village will amaze you Clayton717 1 Quote

Thank you all very much for having me here. Mahendra No worries. Nobody's mad. It makes for an interesting discussion of big communities vs small communities. I see the pros and cons of each. Quite honestly, I don't visit other sites very often. SSV keeps me plenty busy. Quote

wombatie Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 I think basically we are all members of 2 or 3 sites, and we all know each other well, so I like to think of us as one big scroll saw family, with a few distant cousins that we don't get to meet very often but when we do we're happy to see them.

sullyscroller Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 I'm a member of heck I recon 5 or 6 different sites but SSV and the other that i spend a lot of time on are by far the best if you are looking for a bunch of people that treat you like family. I would spend more time on SSV but I need to get to the shop too LOL. Traffic is not as important as the quality of the members . I'll say it right out Travis here, and Rick on my other fav., have great sites and thank you guys for a home for us scrollaholics hehehehe. sully Quote
amazingkevin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 I feel like a fish out of water not reading the forum every single day.I would'nt want to be anywhere else .you could'nt find more helpfull friendly people than here .Travis has transformed the village to a user friendly site more so than the old ssv.but i oved them both.
