Getting Ross to leave for good would be a good place to start.

There's a reason the demographic is mostly 30 something males. Kids are mostly on some type of social media. There's a limited message board consumer now.

Threads discussing how the USA is doing in various sports seem to do well. I'm happy to start more of those. The three day event scene has been very interesting lately.

Can you start one about FIBA?

FYI...I've already looked into a vBookie equivalent. No dice.

we need more content on the site ... articles, serious questions, links to serious subjects ...the site has a healthy bit of sarcasm ... but needs some more serious discussion.

Considering she doesn't even post here anymore, just getting her to post would be a start.

Welp, here is some info. There is very much a historical precedent for this. Basically seems like we need some shit to happen that is going to be too hush-hush to talk about over there.

A 2000 posts in a weekend challenge is interesting. Miser would have to remove the 15 second thing. That's bullshit anyway.

8.33 hours. Doable under current parameters. I can't remember ever hitting the 15 second limit. If you're posting that quick, you need to stop and think a little more about what you're posting. Unless of course your posts consist of "bump" & "this".

I proofread what I posted and still stand by it. At least it was an actual honest opinion rather than "you're a great American" or some other dumb shit.

Which is exactly why it exists.

Sometimes I have a follow up thought and rather than edit a post I just want to post again. Sometimes that's in less than 15 seconds. I think fast.

This is a good point. I feel like we are in the middle right now. Honestly, I don't mind this place at all. It's a closer board as the users that actually post a lot is pretty low for a board. But it's still entertaining, and that's all I really ask. I don't think we even have to try to "compete" with RCMB. It's already built and has 24/7 to hold it up. This place is different, and I still enjoy it. Is it active enough? Probably not. But I don't need it to be.

I gotta say both boards are pretty slow.

Nothing wrong with an honest opinion. I think the reaction to it was more interesting.

This isn't a for profit enterprise (as far as I know anyway).

It's just a place for people to kill time and talk about whatever.

It doesn't have to compete with tRCMB. It doesn't have to be "better" than tRCMB...although we all know it is.

Not only that, but we've got 750+ registered users. A modest goal could be to get more than 2% of them to post on a given day.

Yeah, I don't consider that substance. Too bad we don't have post merge.
