I too find it odd. The recipe of the week post for Oatmeal Bran Muffins had more than 3000 views in the week it was the recipe of the week. That's huge and can't be just spiders.

Between the three of the most skilled active cooks here, there is experience to answer just about any question on cooking.

The user base too is clean, I watch it and delete the russian and philippine spammers often.

I still say lurkers should have to join and also - before they can view a recipe they should contribute one!

Any thoughts on this idea? Personally, I like being open and hope folks want to join.

just a thought - why join when they can get what they want for nothing??

think about it - the active members are feeding these leeches!

if they had to join - they would spend time here - and if they had to post a recipe in order to join - one that the active members would comment about - they would come back to see - curiosity killed the cat!

just my 2 cents

Any thoughts on the style? We changed the style last spring and is it good/bad? The original vbulletin style of the cooking forum is more functional in my opinion then the current style. Could the styling be hurting the forum?

No offense. I like the original blue look of the forum and had set that in the user cp to be my style.
