Nifty,
Have you ever considered another sister site to BYC?
I know you have EasyGarden, SelfSufficient, and Backyard Cows, What if you had a site that could cover the following areas:
Social
Forum Topics Posts Last post
New Member Introductions
1768 24270
There are new posts
Family Life - Stories, Pictures & Updates
831 19345
Where am I? Where are you!
985 51656
Hobbies
Arts, Crafts, Sports, Collecting, Hobby-Swaps, etc.
499 28241
Games, Jokes, and Fun!
1311 66605
Chickenstocks, Shows & Swaps
1278 32037
Random Ramblings
12503 270934
Miscellaneous
Waterfowl - Ducks, Geese, Swan, etc.
3452 30954
Other Fowl - Turkeys, Pigeons, Doves, Quail, etc.
3231 32328
Other Pets & Livestock
4709 70843
Egg, Chicken, & Other Favorite Recipes
1510 22698
The above is just a sampling but most have very little to do with BackYard chickens.
On the top line there could be a link to that site that would mirror this site, but none of those posts would show up in the recent posts, same would be true of the sister site it would have a link to BYC that deals only with Chickens? Going through recent posts, you really have to do a bunch of sorting to get to the chicken posts anymore. I love other animals, but I get tired of goat posts for example... just one more title to read that I'm not going to click on.
You could call the sister site "Nifty's Nook" or "BYC Social" or "The Feed Lot" or "Chicken Run" or "Free Range" ... you could have a contest to name it. If it's hooked to the site, you could still advertise and I can see it being a run away success.
Just a thought, what think ye all?
