OTOH, do we need redefining?  We continue to do two important things that no
one else does... TAG and the convention, and we also host the biggest
web-based Aquascaping contest out there.  Not too shabby.  I'm not saying
that it wouldn't be nice to do more if we had more "doers".  But for the
people we have, I think those are pretty impressive accomplishments.

Not particularly so, but I'm not sure how we expected to do this.

I think where the forum has been most helpful is in how it has allowed us 
to extend what would normally be static content to include feedback from 
others.  The "[discuss]" option added to the main website comes to mind.

influences.

Yep.  Trying to compete with things like APC or Amazon.com has never 
worked well.
