For what it's worth, I think there is an underlying aspect at work here: the preference and philosophy of the user. Some are quieter and more reflective, some are harried and distracted (whether by choice or circumstances). I think it is challenging to engage both groups.

When I initially encountered MoI years back I thought the website was unique (maybe a bit quirky) compared to the rest of the web. My use-case was not a direct fit with where MoI was at the time, but with use I began to appreciate just how powerful a tool this was. Other than downloading betas and releases, I seldom look at the website.

Now the forum on the other hand, as Burr mentions, a daily visit to read all the threads. Simple (perhaps elegant) in its form, easy to quickly read and digest. In a way a bit like the better parts of a newsgroup or mailing list of days gone by, but with a simple web interface. I also appreciate that it seldom changes: get it right once and leave it alone which I suspect may be a principle that Michael uses.

All that said, I do think some attention to the website would be beneficial for getting MoI into more toolboxes.
