As an example, we used to get 30,000 page views per day back in 2011 - I'm sure it back in 2006-8 during the peak it was probably more than that (I changed to Google Analytics, so lost the stats). Now? We're down to 3000 page views a day, so 1/10th of the activity. To be honest, most of that traffic is just unregistered visitors digging for info, I know we're only getting between 10-15 posts per day, so not worthy of heavy moderation....it's to be expected, they stopped making the Lupo 12 years ago! Would it be practical to "rename" the forum to attract more viewers and in a way that would interest, Up/CityGo/Mii but also be as inclusive as possible for existing owners, the Small VW Club perhaps, Klein und Kurtz VW Klub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 sell subsections! can't rename, the lupo awaits phase two interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I did consider rebranding at some point, but there's too much history here, I'd be like the desecration of an historical landmark I can't create subsections that have their own identity unfortunately.

Blue Loop Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 To be honest, I don't like the idea of diversifying. I don't really know why the Fox is even included here. Arosas are fine as they are the same model basically (although dirty, eh Rich). Soon these cars will start being considered "classic" or at least valued, and people will come here again. Less stance / cutting them up and more OEM / preservation. Which will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, people like brand association with their club; it's difficult to do as you'll really be covering VW, Seat and Skoda.

I didn't want to put KKK down as it would attract the wrong type so was looking at jumbling the letters around...but it was only a suggestion, a way of expanding but retaining the core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
