(Joe, is there a limit to how long the server will hold all of the posts? We must have more than three years worth, now?)

If this is so, the question is similar to one earlier this year concerning the value of the whole forum.
I have certainly observed the lack of activity.
The problem of unruly kids on board cruise ships seems to have abated, at least from my own experience and is no longer an issue.
There do seem to be an increasing number of very intelligent young persons contributing to Cruise Talk. Why not change this to an area where they can communicate with each other on matters of interest to them? I personally don't like the use of the word "kids". Why not change it to "young cruisers forum"?
PS. I believe that I have confused the issue by using the word "forum". My intent was to suggest that "cruising with kids" be deleted and changed to "young cruisers Forum". Not the whole website.

quote:Originally posted by topgun:Malcolm, I interpreted Jesses' question was more like "why is this forum maintained when it draws so little input"?
Oh, I see! My mistake.
Well this is really a question for Joe, but that will not stop me giving you my opinion.
Firstly I assume that CruiseTalk was designed to generate interest, inform and importantly sell cruises.
Although cruisetalk does not always have mega-activity, it does have a big membership - I think Joe said about 5000? Many people simply use Travelpage as a resource and read it.
We probably have more posts that you realise? The "young cruises forum" is an interesting idea.
(I've no idea how many cruises are sold via Travelpage and if CruiseTalk really does generate these sales? I've no idea if the banners even pay for the server space?)
(I will request an audience. )
