From the visitor statistics we see surprisingly good figures. In January 09 we had more than 4000 unique visitors and with the current trend we might have hit 5000 unique visitors during February.

Still, most visitors stop by and read in the 99nicu forums, but do not post. We want more action!

* More frequent emails with reminders?
* Tutorials how the 99nicu community works?
* More competitions and give-aways?
* Shall we close some features? ´
* Shall we a congress on evidence-based neonatology (www.ebneo.org....)?!
* Local/national sections (in other languages)?
