As far as ROFB. I have not seen a lot of new users posting lately, and
it seemed that some of the best information shared here when I started
reading the group was when a newbie would come on asking a bunch of
questions. So how do we get a bunch of newbies interested again?

I was wondering if there was anything I could do with the ROFB
site to help boost quality participation in the group.


I know I'll probably get flamed from the Usenet purists, but most today
don't even know what Usenet is. I read every post to ROFB, but I don't
post much because I have little to offer. Newbies google bass fishing,
or fishing forum, and even if they found info on ROFB, they either would
find their ISP doesn't offer Usenet, or would think it to big a hassle
to find info here when there are so many other forums out there that
they can just click a link to. I think that if the group seriously wants
more users, they need to go web-based. Google groups isn't the most
user-friendly way to post and read. If the ROFB site could offer a web
browser friendly interface to post and read here, participation would go
up. I don't know what that would involve technically, I am just assuming
that it can be done since Google does it.
