Thanks for posting. Back to the original question… Yes, we have also noticed a decline in forum comments generally. We think, in part, that this is due to the explosion of popular social media platforms. Our own outside social media channels have 1.5 million followers which see lots of activity. When Land8 began, the iPhone was just invented and major social media platforms either didn’t exist or were not popular with professionals yet.
So, we’ve continued to keep content relevant. Our website has never had more traffic (millions of pageviews per year), so we think it’s a bit of comment-fatigue (particularly on a publicly viewed forum), but people are checking in on the great content that people produce on Land8, including this thread, and other media, such as jobs and the articles we publish that get thousands to tens-of-thousands of views.
