If you go to Google and search for "SDA forum," Maritime ranks near the top on the list of results returned --
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=SDA+forum But if you search for "Adventist forum," we're way down the list --
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Adventist+forum All the way over on the 6th page, the 54th link, at the time I ran this search ~ and that link's pointing to a topic that's now in the Inactive area! Not too good.
