  1. I mean it's pretty obvious this is going to be a severe thunderstorm, we aren't talking about just rain lol
  2. If you came into dick's last resort and told the waiter they were being a dick and mean to you and that you needed to speak to the manager, then the manager came out and explained to you that it's a theme restaurant that the entire premise is that the server's are dicks to you and that's kinda the fun of hte restaurant and then you told them "WELL BY GOLLY I WONT BE COMING BACK AND IF YOU WERE MORE LIKE THE APPLEBEES WAITERS YOUD HAVE 50% MORE CUSTOMERS" that's you, right now.
  3. You think this is a professional website? I didn't know this was the bastion of professionalism. My bad, I thought this was a website on the internet that has the tagline: I must have gotten lost on my way to business insider or something.
  4. You come in here with hot takes claiming I don't know my own business model, I explain to you the exact business model and you don't even refute it. You just continue to triple down on some premise that is actually a figment of your imagination. Our customer acquisition model isn't to get everyone on the internet to come here and post. If you read this thread at all you would realize that there is a balance on who the community wants here and it's not the shitposters from twitter and it's not the mindless drone content consumers from Instagram and tiktok. You know what we need more of? Young people who are ~22-28. You didn't read this thread though, because you don't care about _actually_ being right or presenting fact based evidence showing that we are "excluding 50% of our potential donor base to burnt ends". Instead you come in here acting like a persecuted member of society when in reality you are just a completely deranged person who is living in a fake bubble lala land of your own creation.
  5. Here's a spoiler alert for you. People like this site because we have no corporate overlords and we don't give a shit what the institution thinks about what our users say. Our brand has always been irreverence to the established "proper fandom" experience. This is a place for people who love hard and hate hard, with opinions they feel strongly about and are willing to spend time thinking through why they formulated those opinions. We don't sunshine pump, we don't set an agenda, we let the community self moderate and go where it needs to go without outside intervention from anyone else.
  6. I think you have no idea what you are talking about and it's extremely evident. You think the market for message boards is growing, like you honestly believe that? You think that there are MORE fans now than there were in 2004-2009? That's a serious question, you think people are more engaged with Longhorn sports and football specifically than 20 years ago? You think people want to come here and talk politics and news? Like that's what you think this site is? Weren't you the one who said that football board isn't even busy and is dead during the season when there's no way to actually slice the data that paints a picture of that? Nothing, not access patterns, not a single metric. You think that football, recruiting and talk around that is not the driving force behind this website? You think it's "Texas news and current events"? You think our food board is just so legendary that people come from all over the internet to read our threads?
  7. revenue is up not down. Ads were down because of a depressed market and apparently I was serving blank impressions to logged in users for the better part of 5 months. Oops. NIL program specific revenue is down and I’ve answered that pretty clearly. If you don’t want to pay players because of some shit that happens in cloak room on this website then whatever. I don’t make any money off it. I lose 3.5% because I gross up the payment processing fees. half of the potential market for surly is not turned off/away/leaving/gone/whatever the fuck it is you are insinuating because of cloak room and the general discussion which is similar everywhere, not just on surly.
  8. God damn the last like 6 posts have be dying.
  9. Being a moron isn't trolling. Being a moron and being shown you are being a moron and continuing to be a moron is trolling.
  10. there was one really consistent piece of feedback I got yesterday. A LOT of people like OTF because it's SUPER inclusive and there is no sidebar bullshit or drama between the posters. They are there to be fans and get info and interact with the OTF team, not to talk shit or disagree with each other on hot takes. I think by and large they represent the majority of the fanbase, want to stay current, love the horns, but don't necessarily have many of their own opinions - reflects the gen pop well.
  11. @sheeeit time to move on, you are bordering on trolling at this point.
  12. I was surprised at the age range of listeners who came out yesterday to the HH, of course some were old, but plenty non-olds. Bobby has a gift to talk to people who may absorb information slower or not have the ability to connect the dots on stuff so to speak. broadcast bobby and hang out and shoot the shit bobby are two different styles of communication, much like any top tier broadcaster.
  13. cleared some caches see if that helps.
  14. always a thing or just today? what is that aspect ratio? what device?
  15. yeah I'm doing some stuff it's just regenerating the cache 60s tops out of whack. refresh and you should be fine. in particular I've finally become fed up enough with the bottom alert not being readable on the second line that I'm trying to hunt it down and correct it with some custom css
  16. Yeah but why is this a thread and not in the Joe Biden or presidential election thread.
  17. Why would you quit your job without a start date for a new job unless you didn’t need the money?
  18. he's old as fuck and has nowhere near the cognitive function of even 4 years ago. This isn't hard. I wasn't saying this thread was threadworthy, quite the opposite, why is this it's own thread? You can post in the joe biden thread and argue about it there. WTF is this thread.
  19. what exactly did you start this thread for? Joe Biden has mush for brains, noted. Anything else in particular here of note?
  20. well fuck me. When we switched ad providers I left the placeholder for where the ads would go, but wasn't calling the loader script for anyone logged in. This helps on some of the ad revenue dropoff explanation. Fixed today, also you may see a floating video player that shouldn't be too intrusive, that is going to start playing OTF and Surly Horns Podcast content + a mix of some other Texas stuff.
  21. The guys who don’t have relationships with the individual recruits are all just pure speculating. They are guessing on the lean off gut, but they know the interest in most cases which is good enough.
  22. Cool. You can put not rated stuff in your walls all you want. I’m not doing it and it looks fine.
  23. Was in a rush left the tidying up to the wife. The wires hide in the slots very well.
  24. Alright guys. There’s plenty to talk about. Back on topic.
