As I stated in multiple posts on the old EarthWaves board, the format of this board might be a little complex for most visitors.
Quite a few improvements could probably be made by adding help information for specific commands etc. That should not be too difficult. But it will take some time.
If you look at the top right of the page (this or the main one), there are several links including help. There are several topics already covered. This comes with the software.

It should be possible to keep track of how many times different people visited the board. Each general visit could be counted in that area rather than how many individual posts were read. That information could be valuable as it would let people know if important messages and data etc. were being circulated.
At the bottom right of the main page, in the bottom brown bar, there is a link "Forum Statistics". It doesn't have all the hits of everyone just viewing the forum, although that is tracked by my web hosting tools. I have looked into some sort of hit counter but haven't found a solution I like yet.

With so few members you probably won’t be overloaded with E-mail notes. And if that did happen you could always remove that resource.
Bottom left corner of every page, "Contact Us", opens up your email client and sends email directly to me.
