Dale, You may very well be correct on the budget and I share that opinion, but I do have a different opinion on what they would like to create here and what value they see in the old user base. i think they really want this site to gain relevance again. They may not have the experience or expertise to know how to do that. Someone is obviously making the decisions, no matter how minor they may be, for the implementation of new things. They just aren't making enough decisions fast enough and without marketing, which could simply be budget issues at the current time.

>>we apparently have little to no marketing budget to carry out this task<< Possible reasons to hold off on marketing efforts, if such are planned: 1) Need time to evaluate success of the banner ads launched on Nov 1st. 2) Currently in transition period ending Dec 1st where current members can still buy an ad-free membership. 3) Still in throes of developing new content such as the "Pro" forum mentioned in SI Craig's Oct 15 memo. 4) Holiday season just around the corner may impact timing.
