it took a little over three years, and 3746 registered users, to get here. maybe we should step back and think about how we could make things better.. more interesting.. get some of those lurkers posting. I've noticed from looking around at similar (and mostly less successful) forums that the same sorts of topics come up as those that come up repetitively here. but maybe talking about words is just inherently uninteresting to most, even to the thousands who visit AWAD.

it sure would be nice to hear from some of the lurkers though..
