It was a failed rebellion in many ways but there were some decent laughs. Green Shinobi RIP.
I'd like to think that were some cases of rare insight on this board but yeah no.

The things we shared most was hate. Hate brings people together but love keeps people together. And that is why this board failed :'(

We're just too hateful and repellent for our own goddamn good.

That aside, I think it's odd that we get so few new members (like, none) when GAF's moderation is more overbearing than ever and posting standards are at an all-time low, which is inarguably what most of our current membership is a reaction to. When we do get a member, they're usually pretty awesome too, like Shah Rukh Khan, who will probably never be heard from again as soon as his ban is up.

GAF as a news aggregate > evilbore as a dick joke aggregate, seems so.

The random talk thread has only been there since April. It doesn't explain the downward trend prior, or the dropoff of overall posts.

I think it's probably because we run off all the drama queens, then the people who chased them away run off themselves when there's no more internet injustice to be dealt with.

And the fact that we get so few new members.

The random talk thread was way before april. we've had one for at least a year. that is the second random talk thread.

throw in the inclusion of random gaming thread for random gaming news that deserves no new thread, and the what are you playing thread, which means less people have a need to make dedicated threads to certain games, and you have your answer.

Himu is right, the drop in new threads (down 90% from the most active month) doesn't match the drop of posts (down 50%).

Delete catchall threads.

I don't like catchall threads here any more than GAF. The only good one is Outside Link so the whole place isn't consumed by gaf bitching.

Robo · « **Reply #40 on:** December 07, 2010, 09:03:46 PM »

I concur on getting rid of some of the catch-all threads, especially Random Gaming, which has zero purpose and frequently dupes topics in the forum proper.

You mean people would ignore it just like they ignored his post in Random Gaming? I don't see the difference.

Maybe the 0-replies thread will teach him not to share something nobody on this board cares about. On the other hand, if theres at least one person that does, who ends up replying, then it'd be worth considering the user-base's size. Nothing wrong with that.

Himu · « **Reply #45 on:** December 07, 2010, 09:25:58 PM »

if eb were a huge forum i'd agree but its not and threads like random gaming are things that only smaller forums can pull off. there are so few posters that you can catch up on the days game news in just a few minutes rather than risk being dropped off the first page and have to search with ebs crappy search. keeping it to one thread is just BETTER.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #46 on:** December 07, 2010, 09:26:39 PM »

Bottom line is: threads get more exposure than a single post buried in a mega thread, and more often than not lead to a more active discussion regarding the matter.

Himu · « **Reply #47 on:** December 07, 2010, 09:29:31 PM »

but this is a SMALL FORUM. random gaming and what are you playing are general gaming discussion threads that are only capable on boards like eb. instead you turn it into gaf. not EVERY game NEEDS a thread.

So what you're trying to say is that creating new threads on such a small forum suffering from low activity is not encouraged, and that having four threads that encompasses a wide variety of interests is better?

If so then why the fuck is everyone complaining and bringing up statistics and shit? I swear you people whine for the sake of whining.
