So I am looking for an active well attended Cookery Forum to join and I've been having a little look around, but I have a question
How can you judge before you join ?
One I've just been looking at seemed a bit miserable - the newbies that had joined yesterday or the day before had between zero and 5 welcomes
I checked the active members and it was at a similar level to TCS - could the lack of replies be an indicator ?
Membership numbers dont always mean that its active place either, many may join but only visit once a week or month
Subject matter - well again not necessarily an indicator of activity some people wouldnt believe how much we lot natter about all things cats
Advice, expertise and general content - well I would expect all forums to excel in these areas
Lurking
not something I've really done, I only lurked here for about 2-3 days.
well maybe its just a matter of joining to see how things go
