And thanks for the slack (even though I know it's just 'cause you're a lazy POS!)
from the same time period prior to admin and the new mods assumed board managment.
Some of you lament the supposed heyday of TER and deem this board either dead or flawed in some way. You cannot ignore a 45% increase in traffic. That kind of paticipation is, IMHO, a direct result of the great board managment of these mods under the direction of admin.
The numbers (rounded for ease, but you can check them yourselves) :
10/06 - 2/09 (Before the change in Admin and Mods) 97,000 posts
02/09 - 07/11 (After the change in Admin and Mods) 141,000
That's a 44,000 post increase in participation that doesn't even include unapproved and moved posts.
And NO, you can't pass off 44,000 posts as board fighting or alias on alias crime.
GREAT JOB guys and it should be recognized.
the period 10/06-2/09 is 2 years and 4 months roughly. the period 02/09-07/11 is 2 years and 5 months roughly. so while some might question whether the periods are of equal duration, as reported, any discrepancy in reporting is much smaller than the size of the effect you report. so your conclusion stands. ![]()
of course nay sayers will retreat to a defensive posture and make arguments on the basis of quality of posts being superior in the "good old days". but that is subjective and mythical. the "good old days" always are. ![]()
I had used all of October, 2006 but only 10 days of July, 2011.
strengthens your point, not that it _needed_ it. ![]()
Meaning, they were either drunk or just got laid, so they let any ol' bullshit post of mine go thru... ![]()
Volume does not equal quality.
The board management is "great" only as far as TER management and the frat boys that make up the majority of the current posters are concerned. Those who don't want to talk about farts and "manginas" and how providers are nothing more than soulless commodities have already left you behind.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone as miserable as you are on the boards.
Try to go up a few dress sizes. You will feel better.
"go up a few dress sizes" lmao
That was a good one.
I know I must be doing something right.
I realize that I can't "make everybody happy" so if someone has to be made unhappy it might as well be someone like MSD.
To everybody else, thanks for the kind words.
And thanks for the slack (even though I know it's just 'cause you're a lazy POS!)
And I hope you feel my jealousy from where-ever you are.
I'm strictly a night-time drinker. If you check my posting times you'll see it's a night that I really get my freak on. But it's usually on the P&R Board.
I don't recall mrfisher, MP67, inicky46, myself or most of the other top posters ever referring to providers as "soulless commodities". In fact we have shouted down many who have like Hirogen. There has only been three posts in the last month that mention farts and one is yours. But I will have to admit to being a "mangina" and see the word a lot so I will give you that one. I wasn't hear in the good old days but this board is fun how it is.
Give all the credit to OSP and MP67. They posted 39,842 of those 44,000 posts. The mods just let their crap go through.
what the numbers would be if they counted the posts that never made it!
8o)
But thanks for the accolades. Not sure if I wanna be in the company of drunks anymore.
Here's our website though if anyons wishes to continue sharing the love.
"Just leave a message ....maybe i'll call"(JW)
In just over 2 weeks back, you've racked up almost 300 posts. You may have stopped drinking but you are certainly addicted to something. I'm guessing that it's yourself.
I guess my mouth runneth over.
I do seem to have more time on my hands these days
If so, you're in good (or maybe bad) company. Personally, I plead guilty to having keyboard diarrhea but could care less. I'd say your posts are funny and I like your twisted brain, so keep it up. Everybody is still free to ignore you, me, MP, fisher, etc. What's so hard about that?
but speaking strictly for myself, I don't really mind at all. I like having a busy board, beats the hell out of tumbleweeds.
and yes Mikey, that goes for you too. lol
There are a few posters however who's posts are so incredibly stupid and annoying, that even a single post by them is one too many, but that's a subject for another thread, this is a "happy" thread. lol
and you call me lazy. lol
VOKDA???? lmfao!
PS: Did you know there's a rock band called LMAO? No shit.
I certainly find it more entertaining nowadays then before IMO... some funny ass people on here that give me a good laugh..
And geez... the ads the ladies are running on the Vegas board are hot, hot, hot! Something tells me your avg. time on site per visitor has also gone up. ![]()
