This website and forums have been set up for you, the residents of the Farmington Valley and surrounding area. I know people are checking out the site. Last month according to my Google Analytics, FVN had over 300 unique visitors viewing an average of 5.4 pages and stayed on the site for an average time of 4 plus minutes. This site is completely free. To participate in the forums or live chat, simply create an account. Your user name can be anything you wish and your email address will never be displayed or compromised in any way. So, don't be shy! Sign up today and let us know what your thinking about. I'd love to see some local political debates. Who are these people running to be our town selectmen and other elected officials? Hopefully, we'll hear from some of them in these forums. If you are running for a local office and would be interested in an interview or participation in a live web chat with the residents of the Farmington Valley please contact me.

It's hard to believe that nobody in the Farmington Valley has any opinions they are willing to share. Hum... The site is getting traffic just not any participation. I'm not sure why. Feel free to share your thoughts.

• Well, It has almost been a year since launching this site. I've tried to entice the public to particiapte in these free and open forums. Unfortunately, community reaction has been extremely disappointing.
