Well I dont know if this is a bad thing or hurtful to the site at all but if you use the browser duck duck go you get no ads and no issues.

If that works for you, please use it then.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.

Dont seek your happiness through the approval of others

Yeah pop ups are a big pain for me, I’ve had to get through about 5 just to make this reply and they’re not easy ones to close. Will try in another browser. I also often can’t access the site on my phone, something to do with a security risk or something?

To be honest there is a reason I don’t post of many Facebook groups, there are far too few hurdles for people to join so, as said earlier in the thread, half the people have never shot a bow let alone made one.
That said I think there’s a few too many hurdles to get over to sign up here, you have to be pretty hardcore I think.
Personally, the thing that would make me check in more is more pics of finished bows/ bows in progress. More bows! Nah I think for people to post anything and everything they’re up to and not just showing the things they’re proud of. I included myself in that. Personally I don’t wan to spam the place with beginner questions and pics of my own stuff but I think there needs to be a bit of that to make it inviting for other people.
If the last few posts are fantastic bows or high brow questions from experienced bowyers it can be intimidating for new people to chime in
