I agree with you Johnny.....I've been a member, and have posted here for years....it's a great site.  I also post on the other Queens boards, and it seems they get a lot more activity....maybe it's because they also ost a lot of general interest themes, such as politicas, and non Queens related subjects, and maybe because the Broadhost system of messege boards are much easier to navigate.

In any event...HB was a huge part of my life from 1953 until 1975....I didn't live there, but had a boat at Cliff's for all those years, and can say I spenf most of my time when nor working there..and enjoying it a lot.

In many ways, it is interesting to get a new perspective on some of the issues that were addressed in the old forums, particularly those items which were posted several years ago and which a lot of  'newcomers' may not have read, I would urge people to take the time to do so.  I have heard from several people since I started posting on the new web site and definitely intend to continue to be an active member.  Also there have been so many new facilities introduced over the past ten years, e.g. Google Earth that make it possible to look at HB in detail and see how it's changed and also how it hasn't, these certainly afford a great many opportunities for discussion threads.

I agree, I also use the forum on www.havenzone.com which includes more communities. More people should use both forums. I know at HavenZone we are going to be flyering the communities about the site. I think with this site and havenzone it just comes down to getting people to know about the site. Once the site is promoted to the community it should see more activity. On HavenZone I mention this site in a few places. Hopefully while we are promoting our site it will also get some more people to know about this site too.

What really surprises me is that there is almost no participation by the 18 - 30 crowd.  Amazing (and sad) that people who can't walk or drive down the street without talking or texting on their cell phones don't take the time to contribute to a web site dedicated to their neighborhood. 

Just found this site today.  I think it is great.  Have a lot of looking around to do.  I lived in HB from 1958 until 1987.  I lived on 97th & 159 gradutated from OLG in 1972.
