Here's a bit of counsel and observation from a long time hobbyist perspective.
Ladies, you are not restricted to posting only in these precincts. Try posting (not just ads!) in a bit more distant geography, such as Austin, or even Dallas or Fort Worth of Houston and let folks there -- who travel into your domicile area -- that (properly vetted) you would love to host them.
Gents, same sort of advice. Try posting in not so distant areas -- or if not posting -- then use the PM system -- to achieve the same result. More incoming visitors and possibilities for when you travel.
It's not a long journey, but (same old song!) there was a social event in Austin last night that I know several of you had invites and many of y'all used to be on the guest list but dropped off due to lack of interest.
Next Austin event will the annual "HALO WEENIE" event -- and if you want to maximize travel opportunities is is back-to-back with the annual San Antonio HOLLOW WEENIE Masquerade just now gearing up. Dates are being firmed up and will be in my signature shortly.

And, we will see if adding a few more sub-geographic forums [NOT subbie forums, Mr. Knotty] to help spur some traffic into the area can be productive.

Ladies, please note:
-- ck1942 doesn't vouch for hobbyists.
-- "Verified hobbyist" is only a title; he should always be screened/vouched
-- Very aware hobbyists always start a contact process by sending a PM before sending any texts!
I think it says a lot about our area and the people here in that this thread is going on a week and 3 pages deep while managing to remain on topic with very little negative comments .
A thread like this would've derailed within the 1st page in other cities
Having met and socialized with most of the people represented here I can tell you they are people to go down a hard road with.
We need to have another social. However I guess we need a new host for them. Any takers?

Where did Heph run off to? I was really looking forward to seeing you all at one of his socials when I get back from this lovely desert.
So...for you guys in Waco and Killeen, what is the optimal time to come out to play? Are you all weekday types or if I came through this weekend, would anyone be available?
