FYI, I made the following changes to the board settings:

Changed search settings and rebuilt the search index such that:
- maximum word size is now increased from 14 to 20 characters
- common word threshold is now increased from 5% to 20%
(So, now searches for "dorney" or "canobie" work. Previously, they didn't.)

I turned off auto-pruning for all the forums. Since posting frequency is low, the previous policy of automatically deleting posts older than 2 years old seemed counter-productive.

I gave myself permission to create new posts in this Web Site Announcements forum.

Maybe it’s me, but I just don’t get the lack of activity on these forums. What are there maybe 5 active posters on here? To tell the truth, I really don’t bother posting much anymore since nothing gets a response. It’s pretty much like talking to yourself.

I’ve tried to recruit people by posting about the forums on the LC Facebook page and such, but nothing seems to work.

I don't think it is just this board, but rather almost all of them and not just roller coaster boards. I think maybe facebook and other social media have cut into participation on forums.

As for this board in particular, the lack of an off season tour this year may have slowed discussion some. With the park only open about a week, many memebers may not have been there yet. I am hoping that as they visit the forum will pick up some.

I have been reading for the past few years, but just became a member today.

I worked for Lake Compounce for a year when Hershey owned it. I worked at the Arcade then became head person running Mini Golf. And at times I worked escorting VIP's around the park. I was there when New Kids on the Block got booed (they were the opening act for Tiffany... and then became the 80's version of the Beatles in popularity...) I was there for the MTV Tour when Milli Vannili got exposed lip syncing, I was backstage when they were crying...

I now own and operate SatelliteGuys.US which is America largest and most popular Satellite Discussion Forums. :)

BTW speaking of forums, I notice you have Tapatalk installed (Thank you!) but the version you are using does not work anymore, when you connect it says to notify the board operator they need to upgrade the Tapatalk software.

Thanks for the site. Hopefully more people pop in and say hi.

Unfortunately I'm iPhone-less for a little while so I don't have visibility to that app now....so thanks for bringing this up.

I'll try to update the software over the next day or so.
