Becoming boring SBM

[KapiScrap]

TYSM Fonzzy!

I'm sure that all of these comments have been read by the SBM staff. And I hope that things are going to move :-)

From my side I really think that The Groove is a *good* tool... and it should come back :-)

Just at the moment there are 100 users online half guests and half members
The members here are just under 30,000......I just looked at another site and their members are just about exactly the same number of members, I can't seem to find how many are online though. About 17 or so challenges a month.

This is another site

They are very interesting stats, there are about 15 challenges per month on that site and they would get on average at least 1 LO submitted each a day.

They seem to have 10% of our members and yet so active.

I guess my point is we have the members but we don't have action from the owners here.

I would hate to see this software gone, I know we have our own copies (Ihave a backup disc) but someday we might need replacements, if I had to do LO's on photoshop I would just give up digital scrapbooking because I find it so frustrating, my hat is off to those that do do it.

Karin? is there any chance you can come in here and give us some kind of insight? as you can see your members are worried about this site...I know you are watching lol

The members exist... as well as the SBM users... just need to do more *marketing* actions to get them here.

You're joking. You would learn it very quickly. Once you know how to use a product, it's easy. And you're a digital scrapbooking addict. So you couldn't :-) Seriously... don't worry! I think the issue is only the lack of marketing actions. Don't want to talk for SBM, but be sure that they hear all of us.... :-)

Have a nice evening.

It's so late here... Just want to SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this treat is not a waste of time!! We have got everything we need except the guidance from the creators witch is non existent. I do not think they have even advertised it anywhere in the last 2 years. This is a great product and I have found it by accident one day, no referring from friends just countless hours searching for a good scrapbook program.

We need to revive this or it would be really sad.

Hello everyone and thank you for your comments concerns and suggestions. I have been away for a couple of weeks due to a sudden health emergency in my family. I'm sorry I haven't been around especially as this thread got started and also that I've been away from the Facebook posts. I know this a brief reply - I will reply more fully very soon I just want you to know that I am here and reading this, that we hear everything you are saying, and that we are actively planning new things for the site. Thank you to everyone who participates and who has taken the time to reply here. More to come - thanks again.

Thank you so much Karin!

I guess we are all sorry that this thread had to be started at all, but it is nice to know you are all listening and we look forward to hearing more from you and as to what will be happening in the not too distant future.

I hope all your families health issues have improved too.

Oh and can I say...if this place does pick up and more get involved I would still love to host a monthly challenge...not as many as I was doing but one a month.

Thanks everyone for your wishes and for caring about the SBM community activities! I am working on a few of these items right now and will be in touch with the designers and challenge hosts about some of the designer/host-specific questions. If I don't post back here, it's not because I've forgotten (!), but because we are working on rolling out a few new concepts to help support the community fun...

Hope everyone is having a good week! (Things are getting back on track in the health department which definitely helps clear up "mind space" for other important things...thanks again for your well-wishes!)
