I'm paying three monthly fees for Chuppo, Chuppo Recorder, & UserOn, but I'm considering cancelling UserOn and Recorder for the following reasons:

1.  Despite much encouragement from admin, members don't use the recorder.  My membership prefer to message and instant message.
2.  UserOn slows the pages down, and isn't synchronised with the Who's Online page.  This confuses people and they don't trust the results any more.

Do you use these features?  How have you managed to get your members to use them and what are your opinions on these features?

The chat rooms don't get much use either.  I suspect this is due to the type of niche but I find it odd that people who join a dating/social site don't want to chat. 

Even the forums are getting quieter!  Maybe it's the warm weather in the UK.  I saw this last summer when people spent less time on their computers, but the forum pages aren't as good as many other software types out there, and I think the combination of slow page loading and too much functionality has discouraged people.  I think it may be time to clean up and the site and remove redunant functions like Recorder and UserOn.
