"pilotless aircraft" - great analogy. Old site destined to crash, while this piloted and directed new craft has successfully launched, and is only now fueling for the long run.

Here's a kooky idea for you to consider: for each "sub" post you approve, award the poster up to 25 DominaMs. Reward Points, then encourage Member Dommes to allow certain discounts on services or goods for Reward Points exchanged. My charge for the idea is zero - it's likely value, but maybe it will get your own juices working on ways to increase traffic quickly.
