I know how draining a site can be on someone, especially when you give it your all and no one seems to respond to it.
I myself have lost momentum on my site more than once, and almost closed down not to long ago. My first ten months were a total bust...not one sale. But I'm glad I didn't, even if things are slow due to the US Economy. I think of the work I've put into it and were I want it to go, and I know I still have a long way to go to get there. But that’s me, and it is a different type of site.
A big thing is traffic, and that’s for any site. And I know that there is just not enough hours in the day to do all that is needed to get that relevant traffic to the door, and then to keep them there. Especially when you have a regular job to attend to.
Now I don't claim to know how to breath life into a forum or if there is something to breath life into. I've never had one of my own. All I can say is that you built a nice one, but If you don't feel it, and that I understand, then you need to do what is best for you.
If that is Light Warriors...than I'm happy for you. From what I can tell, Goth and Night Star are great people and you seem to work well together, and perhaps that is what is needed...one focus for all your combined energies in a combined site.
Only you can decide that.
Either way I’m going to be hanging around here and Light Warriors
