Oktoberfestvisits May Be Shut Down :-(

Well fellow Oktoberfestians, it seems that our blog may be caught in the "lack of use" category. Like many free internet services, it appears that if you don't use it, you may lose it. That's the case here.

I received a message from Blogspot (who is actually part of Google), that said our site is under review due to lack of activity. While they are dedicated to providing a mechanism for internet users to freely share ideas and thoughts, the resources required to maintain blogs that are not used creates a tremendous overhead. Therefore, unless our Blog experiences a significant increase in posting activity, it may be delegated to a "secondary support" category (whatever that means), or set as inactive.

So....... Assuming that this Blog is useful, fun, and more importantly a way to share our ideas and thoughts on this year's trip.... get your butts a bloggin'.

I am not sure what you mean. When I look at our valuation;

I agree we performed better, but it is not yet "under"

So what is the game?

Barbus-

That is the most bizzare thing I have ever seen.

You are correct, we seem to be holding our price. ;-)

While I agree we may have performed well, our share price has atken some dramatic hits. It has usually recovered well, but as you can see from the latest chart, our up-swing has started low and will probably not reach previous highs. Event the most recent up-swing did not recover to previous levels.

How do you explain the steady cycle of price?

Is the trip excitment cyclical? Have you plotted to see if we will be on an upswing at the end of September? Or a trough???

I believe the price trends are directly related to the quality of the postings. When there are posts, the value increases. Lulls in the postings cause a drop in price. So....

Everyone needs to get their butts a postin'!

So you know what is best, why not start a campaign to get them posting. Just the threat does not give them the creeps. But I still believe you have an hidden agenda and let Bernard Ebbers be your warning.
