I think I sounded out half the regular boardies about how we could spur more traffic and we just didn’t have any ideas.

What do you think all that “spam” was???
So I think it is the admin's responsibility here to look at the top 20 threads, and just rebuild them from day 1

this has such a New Coke vibe

Completely agree, but I think there needs to be a quality dimension, and a recency consideration.
Agree. We need to emphasize quality like the integers thread and the potato thread.

If only there was some sort of user curated Hall of Fame they could work off of!

Oh god, all the links in that are gonna be broken, huh? Shit.
Are we going to have to form a boycott protest over this!

I don't know if they can withstand 6 people not going for about 1 week


I'm going on a CD strike, I refuse to play a CD again until we get the forum back
who am I kidding, I haven't played a CD since the Aughts

Maybe it’s time to unionize?
What do we want: The 9:30 Forum!
When do we want it: Forever!
I mean, I’m totally fine with Discord. I don’t think it’s going to lead to a bunch of new people joining IF the core people migrate over and we continue to be insular and unfriendly, but forum or Discord is all the same to me.

I know that…I'm just being dramatic
although we will lose the prestige of the high post count and some of these great threads
Prestige of high post count???  You have got to be fucking kidding me! 
Yeah, that's a bullshit metric.  Let's think of the true prestige, folks: Registration Date

my original FWB card was 422, but the card was made so cheap they couldn't scan it any more as the QR code was f'ed
I asked for a new card, but they couldn't retain my original number (then they went to the wallet option like a few weeks later of course)

This man’s life work is apparently futilely chasing a dude named Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK. He’s suffered enough — we don’t need to make fun of him.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn dude…it’s been blow after blow for you….
After further review… I think this is the end.

We have MAX 10 regular posters (members who post at least once a day), maybe 20 lurkers (people you see at the bottom as online but maybe never post or post once in a blue moon), and then an unknown amount of true lurkers without accounts.

Certain posters here are still learning how to post pictures on this forum and a new platform (especially discord) seems way overkill for this place. We will probably lose up to 40% of the 10 regular posters.

At any rate, it was a fun 20+ years. Take care, fam.
