Serious question: How did you find out at the PDML? (Everyone please feel free to pipe up here.)
i can't remember how i found it in 2009; somehow i had already somehow chosen to buy a K200D and i think i was exploring what lenses to get (i'd had a Powershot G3 for a few years, and before that i'd spent several years with a Canon Elan IIe and a Yashica T4 Super)
in the mid-90s i was on an "eos" mailing list; i was never big on web forums, but i believe i read rec.photo and/or rec.photo.digital at points; maybe i found pdml from one of them
i see exactly two mentions of "pdml" in the entire history of rec.photo.digital, but there are a bunch of mentions in rec.photo.equipment.35mm, most recent is 2007
But I'm wondering how*anyone* would even learn of the PDML's existence these days.
if we *do* want to increase exposure and membership, perhaps a little SEO magic on the website would be in order; messages in the list archive come up for me fairly often in searches, but the pdml.net homepage is completely static
just putting a clip from a random post, or the results of a search for "Mark!", or something else dynamic would probably increase the page rank; i'm not qualified to dig deeply into SEO, but i bet someone else here is …
another quick SEO boost would be for all who have blogs to include a link to pdml.net (assuming it gets some links of its own) in a sidebar, or even blog about it
