It's nice to have someone tell me to be careful and mean it instead of someone telling me that if I need blood they wouldn't donate a drop.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #33 on:** October 05, 2015, 01:32:08 PM »

Raw post count is the RBI of forum metrics.

I prefer an elegant statistical model I devised called QPOHA (Quality posts over Himuro and Anime) or

TP (Rnx(2)*Bp(10))
----------------
TP (Hx(10) + Anx(1))

It heavily penalizes any post made by Himuro or about anime. So, any value above 1.0 is a good month. I wanted to include abortion posts made by JayDub and any post that ranks Final Fantasy games, but that would have been too much for QP to outperform.

studyguy · « **Reply #34 on:** October 05, 2015, 01:34:10 PM »

My post count reflects the fact that I only post here during work now that I look at it.

Too much complaint thread, too much boring depressing posts, too many re-res wanting their account deleted, just boring.

Did you really think you guys would foster discussion? Everyone here hates each other, makes snide posts about each other, is afraid of each other, and who knows what else.

I just play videogames all day instead. Much more productive.

i feel like my posts can be formulated into a simple computer algorithm so I'm gonna have someone develop that for me and just let it run a few times daily.

assuming this forum doesn't have any more scheduled maintenances.

isn't he an algorithm?

and, can an algorithm create an algorithm, and if an algorithm creates an algorithm, and that algorithm then creates another algorithm, who is to say we aren't all algorithms? what if the universe is nothing but algorithms?

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #43 on:** March 02, 2016, 07:28:34 AM »

Last month had 5,637 posts, the slowest month yet. For reference, Feb 2015 had 10,036 posts and Feb 2007 had 30,912 posts.

This thread is now about posting your favorite Bore memories since it seems like this board is practically dead.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #44 on:** March 02, 2016, 08:26:45 AM »

At this rate we'll have like 10 posts per day in 6 years.

But probably the decline will accelerate, as it's a downwards spiral.

Mupepe · « **Reply #45 on:** March 02, 2016, 08:33:48 AM »

In Feb 2007 I was posting like 50 times a day and it was mostly nonsense. I can go back to that if you'd like.

It's a splinter board thing. They all die eventually due to no new blood coming in. Also, plenty of other avenues to complain about GAF, or re-settle to when the burning eye of Steve Youngblood has driven you away.

benjipwns · « **Reply #50 on:** March 02, 2016, 09:46:44 AM »

I know it won't be popular but I think someone has to say what we're all thinking.

What if it's us?

We accepted the Love of Taco Bell so deep and so thoroughly that maybe those who haven't been touched can't understand just how much that love penetrates you, just how much that love drives out the bad things inside you, just how much that love allows you to feel a part of a community.

They want to, but like so many of those who are lost they get distracted by what they think is life rather than recognizing that Taco Bell is Life.

Maybe it is our responsibility to help others know how to connect to and listen to the Bell. To understand that it loves us and wants us to be happy and offers so many ways to be so. That Yum! Brands is deeply trying to always anticipate new forms of love for us.

I feel this is the way to bring in our brothers both known and unknown to be wrapped together in the tortilla Love of Taco Bell.

Official campaign to rename the forum to Official Taco Bell Forum of Living Mas starts here.

Yea I've never thought wow things are slow today. There's lots of discussion and I enjoy it in multiple threads. Th community isn't growing but I like the people we have, and perhaps we can nab some more folks here or there.

Maybe forums are our generation's social clubs (like the Elk's Club or the Knights of Columbus were to Baby Boomers). One day, it will just be a bunch of 60 year olds talking about old times and who died recently.

Too bad we can get cheap buffets and beer here.

I think most of the decrease has come on the gaming side, which is fine because video games are stupid.

I still blame/hate catch all threads. Other than the politics one, I generally won't post in them because they're huge, unwieldy, difficult to read turds.
