How many people are looking at our threads?
I'm surprised that the Pathfinder thread has over 22,000 views despite its small and weak size.
We have only about 30 dedicated posters to this board, so we must be getting a lot of outside traffic.
People out there, don't be shy. You know I love you. Except for you, dbb. You know what you did.

I've seen links to threads on both the GitP forums and the WotC forums. That has potential to generate a lot of reads if people who see those links as part of a conversation click on the link.

That's... actually pretty interesting. I wonder who does the linking; and if they would show us threads where our stuff is linked? Sometimes it's interesting to see more viewpoints.

You could most likely find at least a few others with a bit of patience and/or search-fu.

I'm shocked, shocked I say!- to find that people are offended and unable to see past our penchant for profanity and nerd rage. I initially felt some desire to speak on our behalf, but I'm over that impulse now.
Oh well. I'm not given to cussing around overly often, but if I and everyone else had to sit on my tongue here I'd probably lose interest.

You know, since you did post that link I had to visit the GITP site.
Either they are mellowing or I'm just getting used to a bunch of cry babies who would rather complain about a site's "moderation" than about the content thereof.
Still, the thought that there was actually someone there who defended Frank.
Who knew?

Well, I sit around the forum most of the day, or rather, I leave the browser open when I go about my business. Whenever I sit down for a moment, I briefly check the on-goings. This forum is one of the most interesting and entertaining reads that can be approached whenever I happen to have a few minutes to spare. Similar to a frequently updated webcomic. But better.
I sort of followed a buddy of mine here, though he hasn't been active for a while because of academic pursuits. I myself am not planning on being very verbal, mostly due to having little to contribute (not much of a mechanical expert and only have a moderate understanding of higher tier mathematics and astrophysics.)
I also do tell people to check out some of the threads (for either information or entertainment - mostly K for the first, Frank for both and shadzar for the latter) and I'm hence doing my part to boost the reader base.
And hi, I'm Reddie from Finland and I will be falling back to anonymity and obscurity now.

I've observed that the "view counter" counts up whenever the page containing the thread is opened. 22,000 people did not view the thread, the thread was viewed by people 22,000 times; big difference. what is more likely is that ~30 people posted ~20 times each and ~400 people opened and read the thread each time someone posted in it.
If all 800 or so regestered Denners had watched the Pathfinder thread like a hawk it would have crested 400,000 views easily.

I've veiw for months never really bothering to log in even till recently...
Really this is the "big boy" board, if you're not thick-skinned, and MORE importantly if you don't have you ideas/arguments in good order you'll get your ego popped. Some people can't take that so they lurk and/or bitch or only contribute when they have something valuable to add.
edit...
The biggest argument on any other board is about "profanity". I really dislike these people. It's like who is doing this to the world where saying "fuck" or "[EDITED]" is an excuse to say: You're arguement is invallid. Its poor. . . and hypocritical. They use non-direct slights and say this is "witty" but really a "fuck you" is likely the most valid response. *sigh*
edit 2: I am amazed that I can say the f-bomb but not the c-word. .... alas.

...If only you'd have stopped forever...Dear Midnight, you have actually made me sad. I took a day off of posting yesterday because of actual sadness you made me feel in my heart for you.

Joe, who plans to own Newall's Plumbing Company, asked the presidential hopeful about his plan to increase taxes for some Americans. He felt that Obama's increase plan may redistribute wealth.

That's b/c the c-word is really fucking offensive. I think it's the sound of it that makes it something that bothers me. Then again, I've never used the word ever, and honestly, don't know what it means as an insult.Midnight_v wrote:I've veiw for months never really bothering to log in even till recently...

In any case, we use profanity to accentuate specific parts of what we're writing.
