How Do You Meet Hobbyists Here?

I'm trying to figure out how do we attract new friends on eccie.net? Please let me know so I can enjoy this site.

Just like you're doing here. ;-)
You cannot advertise, you just have to interact.

What he said above. Plus, a lot of guys that have an account on here will have one on OH2 as well. So, keep posting in the "Daily Lineup" on OH2 and guys will find you. The "Daily Line Up " and "In Search Of" forums were removed from ECCIE a couple of years ago.
