    I am a member of several Mac web forums. This one appears to be highly trafficked, compared to a couple of others that I visit reguarly.

    Congrats, guys.

    I like this one more than any other Mac forum I have been in.  The people are nice and the discussions are usually intelligent.  I have learned things here too and that is always cool.

    I agree, this forum does seem to get more posts than many others do.  MacNN and AppleInsider’s forums are normally pretty busy, but there are few others that I ever see which are worth spending much time at. (Very little recent content.)  Mac Observer gives a third option now for a forum that has a decent amount of marterial on it.

    How much do you think the recent contest has improved traffic?  I see a lot of silly people signing up and not posting.  But then again, a lot of people are signed up and have posted.  The question is, after the contest is over, will they stick around?

    I agree that the MODs have done a good job of posting interesting topics.  We have been lucky so far to have a great bunch of people.  I think Mac Users ARE, almost universally, good rational people, except when they are attacked by a WinTel user or they feel they have to battle FUD, then watch out!

    Out of all Mac news sites, there are only a few I really visit.  TMO has always been one of them.  Although I still hold that you should do a more comprehensive MacOS News around the Web like you used to.  Thats just my two cents

    Shows how slow I am! I didn’t even know there was a contest going on, until I saw the winner of the first!

    Sometimes being old has its advantages, but in this case…

    I am a member of many forums and have to commend the whole TMO staff on a very professionally run forum and to say this place has become my new home

    Wanted to say I’m glad to be here, too.

    I’ve spent considerable time chasing miniscule signal thru tons o noise elsewhere, and I’m relieved to find real people here having actual conversations.

    Looking forward to making a contribution….

    I *stumbled* across Mac Observer’s forums while searching the web for Apple stuff in general. As some of you know, I will soon be buying my first mac (a tower). I came here to read comments, post questions, and just learn about everything mac. Well, because of everybody here, I’ve learned a lot and have a great time just hangin’ out in the forums.

    I really didn’t even realize the forum was new (like about 2 weeks old when I joined). I have to say that the people on this site and the people this site attract seem to be the most knowledgable around.

    I recently started checking out other forums and they really don’t compare to the editors and moderators at Mac Observer. You guys rock.

    I to have been getting mac observer news to my inbox for a year or so and I only discovered the forums a month or so ago,and I like it here too,the only other mac forums I go on are the UK Macuser forums and they are in a urgent need of a redesign.

    Thanks, Andy.

    Just so you know.  We only rolled out the current forums less than 2 months ago.  Before that, we used an inferior engine and we didn’t promote them much.  Glad you are here now though!
