Hi Arnold - I guess it's quiet because not enough people were interested in it :-) Getting a forum off the ground can be a tough job and with plenty of blogs to discuss stuff, and Twitter too, seems a dedicated forum wasn't needed. Not sure about juicers.co.uk but I still have juicer.co.uk !

Hi! I'm Philip John, the geek behind The Lichfield Blog which was set up by a fellow Lichfieldian and ex-journalist back in January 2009. Since then it's gone from strength to strength and we're very much looking forward to the future of hyperlocal.

Hi Ray - thanks for signing up. Like the look and feel of Manchester Wide. You're right, forum is going to need a bit of promotion - I've got some ideas about that!

Hi, I'm Ray, from Manchester, England. I have been a domain name investor and amateur website developer for the last 5 or 6 years. About a year ago I became aware of the power of prime geo-domains and geo-domain development and also became aware of hyperlocal domain development which has many similarities to geo-domain development. I am currently developing an events and entertainment geo-site called Manchester Wide. Not sure if it would fit the definition of 'hyperlocal' but still faces many of the issues of hyperlocal site development, such as generating traffic, monetising sites and so on. Great forum idea, but will need a bit of promotion to reach critical mass, I would think.

Hi Rob, They're fine - maybe something along lines of how to increase and retain readers??

Hi John - great to see you here. You've got a very nice portfolio of local sites. What do you think of the forum headers so far: Introductions Tools, APIs and Mashups Creating and Sourcing Content Revenue and Monetising Any thing else you think should be there? Maybe a general discussion one without a set theme?

Hi There I'm John and I'm a budding hyperlocal fan attempting to make a success of local news publishing. I have a portfolio of <a href="http://www.upthejunction.com/local/">local sites</a> (not all developed) concentrating on the Wirral and northwest. Hoping to share thoughts, tips and ideas.

Hi - this is the first post to this embryonic forum dedicated to hyperlocal matters. There's conversations happening all over the place about hyperlocal, so this forum might be completely superfluous, but it felt like a useful place to host a discussion. As for me, my name's Rob and I run a few local websites under the Hyperlocal.co.uk banner, most of which you can find listed and linked to at <a href="http://www.hyperlocal.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.hyperlocal.co.uk</a>
