I want to address an observation regarding BP's relevance. I've noticed, as have others, that there's been a decline in traffic on this site over the years. This is likely due to the emergence of other LEGO investing platforms.
For BP to thrive, the solution isn't necessarily to introduce new features. Other sites might outpace BP in that department. Instead, BP's strength could lie in cultivating an inclusive community. In the past, many of us, including myself, faced undue criticism for sharing deals, rewards, and other inputs that didn't meet certain "standards". It's discouraging to new members who genuinely want to contribute.
A glance at the "Activity" module shows there are consistently 50+ guests on BP. This suggests that while there's interest, potential members might be hesitant to join or post, fearing criticism. We should strive to create a welcoming environment, allowing room for mistakes and growth (I'm talking to you Mr. Daily Deals). Everyone can contribute valuable insights, even if they falter initially.
Let's promote a positive, inclusive atmosphere on BP and discourage any negativity or sarcasm that might push people away (I was recently guilty of chastizing a new member myself for posting an awkward trade, and I am sorry for doing so).
