Three to four months ago, the traffic here was between 50,000 and 70,000, but for quite some time now, I have been noticing that the traffic here is between 4,000 and 7,000. What is the reason for such a decrease in traffic? When the traffic was good, the system was good. I think that if we revert to the previous system, traffic will increase. If anything has changed, it is necessary to increase traffic immediately, as it is very harmful to all sellers.

What previous system are we talking about?

The main strength of this forum lies in its identity as a marketplace rather than just a community.
Many new members join specifically to hire talent for their projects, often with particular requirements that cannot be easily found in the existing marketplace threads.
When they discover that they can't post a job in the "Hire a Freelancer" section without hitting a quota of 15 posts, they are likely to leave.
This creates a counter effect for Junior VIP members, who now have to depend solely on traffic from the marketplace section, , which is getting smaller and smaller.
As this traffic dries up, we may see an increase in exits.
In the dispute section, I noticed that many VIP members would rather lose their accounts over amounts equal to or even less than the cost of their VIP subscriptions than refund customers.

I can guarantee you that it's 100% not because of that.
Traffic shifts, forums are becoming outdated, people like to consume short form content, for example those Make Money Online X Gurus rather than reading forum threads.
Also AI, what you needed to ask others 2-3 years ago, you can just go and ask chatGTP or Gemini and get the better answer most likely.
 
probably because BHW requires you to post a certain amount of times to access parts of the site. something i encountered as a result.
 
Would be best to have a time series date over years drawing such a conclusion. As seasonal periods could draw about users activeness

You've kind of sort of have to actually post in the Introduction section before we can even delete the thread. Just sayin.

  1. You're telling me I need to make 15 posts to hire someone for my project.
  2. I finally make those 15 posts, and then you decide to remove all of them, including my thread in the Hire a Freelancer section.
  3. You fail to admit that you are creating a problem for new users, and the forum is practically unusable at this point.
  4. People are complaining daily about this issues, asking if the forum is dying, yet all you do is ignore or try to divert the conversation.
  5. Many users are creating spam by posting daily hiring threads in the lounge or in the wrong sections.
You can give me another warning if it makes you feel like you're doing a good job.
Good luck :poop:

Why don't you put the time and energy you're currently spending on being angry into actually going to the areas of the forum you're interested in and participating? You could have already been at 15 posts and happily on your way with a little bit of effort.

I'd rather call this a weakness than a strength.

Is BHW a bulletin board or a just a billboard? It's pointless to share content or to find useful information if all is advertising only.
