The question is "How would you improve the hobby." The previous question was "What keeps people away form the hobby." How about a follow-on question " What attracts people to the hobby." I occasionally see new members coming into this forum. Why not ask for input such as " How did you you discover this hobby and what about it attracted you?" Maybe this would provide further insight. <br /> I was thinking recently about how people choose leisure- time activities and I identified two defining characteristics: There are activities defined primarily by making things such as painting, sculpture, sewing, restoring old cars and basket weaving. There are others that do not result in any tangible output such as golf , birdwatching, T.V., ball-playing and spectator sports. I am going to guess that the 80/20 rule applies to this categorization so that the majority of people fall into the latter definition. If this is the case, we need to focus on the minority of people who like to make stuff rather than those who prefer mostly to just look at stuff. <br />just my 2 cents <br /> Bryant
