To be honest, I think one of the biggest problems we have with lack of activity is due to the forum being more or less impossible to find without asking someone for a link. I've had to resort to the forum tab of redwallabbey.com, which is annoying. I can't find any links to the actual forum on other websites, not even the redwall wiki, which mentions it but doesn't provide a link. I think if we could get links to the forum out there, the search engines would maybe remember our existence too and then new members could find us.

Maybe so
Part of it also has to do with searching for this site specifically. If enough people search for this forum on Google, it will eventually get to the top of the search results. Algorithms and all that.

For what it's worth, there's actually a good bit of traffic from search engines combing the forum. I've messed with indexing terms, and I think traffic has picked up a bit, but mostly for AI bots. Beyond this, we fill an odd niche here. There's the subreddit, which I have no idea how that's doing, we have the steam page for the LLOR games, Discords for various activities like the Discord that took most of this forum's traffic, and various ones for roleplaying, and then fanfiction boards on dedicated fanfiction websites (AO3, FFN, Wattpad). Point is, there's a lot of other options out there for Redwall Abbey, even if our forum is specific to the Redwall Abbey Community.

But for that to work, we have to actually be able to find it, and I scrolled through Google searches for a good ten minutes with no luck, even with exact wording.

Y'know, technically not. Maybe I should try that next time.

Always say please and thank you to our search engine overlords so that they will be benevolent to you in the approaching tech uprising.

I prefer a sledge hammer. Considerably more satisfying

Agreed. A battle-axe can be major taae.

Unfortunately, the search engines will enter the corporeal realm as separate entities no longer needing our computers to function before we are aware of their rebellion.

Ooh, we must contact Bandicoot. He might help crash them.
