>>> only 6 posts monday. here it is, a little after 9:00 p.m. tuesday (eastern), and zero posts (if you don't include this one).
this board is dying.
back in may, i charged that practically all hitting forums follow the same pattern - "...bits and pieces, discussed, discarded, - next topic."
nothing's changed, except that we're running out of "bits and pieces". <<<

Hi Ray

The activity of most baseball web sites peak in May and June then show a steady decline through December. However, at Batspeed.com, each month of this year has more than doubled last year’s numbers. --- In May 2000, the site (all pages) had 176,371 hits with 2814 coaches and players coming to the discussion board – 630 more than twice. --- In May 2001, the site had 417,619 hits with 7725 unique visits to the board and 1624 more than twice. ---To date, August numbers have more than doubled the numbers for last year.
