The bus is driving itself. The inmates are running the asylum. But we are learning, teaching and entertaining each other6 just fine.

2006! You must have been among the founders. I arrived in 2009.
Needless to say, AR has gone through many transitions and many people. Niki, Kerrie, et al are memories. The site has been owned by Market Leader, and Zillow (true fact), and who knows who else.
Bob Stewart is alive and well; I have confidence in him and the rest of the staff that great things lie ahead!

We have become quite an independently working group here on AR. Seems we are being trusted by the owners/leaders to do our thing without much need for their intervention or input. In a way that's not a bad thing.

I am not convinced anyone is really actively running AR right now. It does feel as if it's drifting a bit. I have no clue what the direction of the site is going forward.

Welcome back, John!
We're a lot more 'independent' than we were back in the day! Bob is our lifeline and AR is now owned by Ben Kinney.
As always, the SEO is working, the knowledge is here for the taking and the members are WONDERFUL!

There has been a significant EVOLUTION in the active rain members since 2006. Back then 80% of responses were, "Call your attorney or tax adviser."
Today responses are much more actionable and substantial.
There are BIG plans for Active Rain. A clue exits in the right hand column.
However, due to so much uproar from the choir, the owners have elected to keep the plans under-wrap until the day of their choosing. Those of us who have lived through similar business life-cycles know what must be done. That means protect your Intellectual Property.
New Features? No. Matter of fact, many features that currently appear are not functional such as Product Reviews.
Are those who are here having fun? You bet. It's a great community that is willing to help and growing into the maturity of not taking ourselves to seriously.
We are pretty much left alone to manage the sandbox like mature adults. We do better some days than others.
Welcome back.
IF I am reading correctly you have over 1MILLION 700 thousand points! You were INVESTED!
Why did you leave?
Why are you back?

John Novak It looks like the site is on auto pilot unless there is a problem. Bob Stewart is always available to help.

Welcome back! There have been some obvious layout changes in the last year and a lot of bugs were introduced and squashed. Ben Kinney of Keller Williams owns the place now and from what I've seen elsewhere, has some big plans for it... but of yet those have not been communicated out. I really do wish there would be a "state of AR" type webcast or blog sent out to all members.
Their support and programming staff has been a bit thin of late and we've had some issues with spammers in Q&A plus the blog comments.
Webinars are more geared towards selling product and "Agent Professor" in Utah sends all their students here with the same 6 questions every other month, which is quite annoying. Repeated calls for AR to do something about that have been ignored.
AR's "Google Juice" is still strong, but not as strong as it once was (from what I've been told).

John, I remember you from the old days but this isn't the same platform it was. When I do Google searches it doesn't show up as much so the power of the collective has diminished. It's still worth it but not to the same extent. Things change.

When you find out who is running it, remind them it's 2018...we need an app :-)

It does seem like the bus drives itself lately, and many have left the platform due to constant issues.

John Novak - nice to see you back after a long time.
The site may seem to be on autopilot though there are a few people behind the scene who manage the show.

We may not have the direction or the leadership we may want, but for me we got away from Trulia (at least to a certain extent)

They are very busy behind the scenes which leaves little time to interact with the guests.
