Re: To whoom it may concern
maybe I can comment on #1,
GS scores very high on seo results, I believe we can cancel out search engine traffic. it must be high. the average pakistani is not your forum user, maybe the structure of the forum has gone more complex? don't know about the old pakistani users but this forum generally appeals to educated, middle to high class audiences.
lastly, i think there are many paistanis who come on, but they don't post as often that's why we don't notice them. i would still say, the pakistani user is not used to this type of interaction (forum), they're still getting used to blogs, forum is next step? just my views.
my suggestions to the admins, think over the structure of the site, just too many categories.
