  1. The podcast is hard with wives and 2 young children each. By the time we are able to do it it’s usually so late that one of us is just exhausted or beat or already passed out.
  2. I’m using brevo with dedicated IP and a 100% trackable open rate. I don’t know why spam is picking it up.
  3. Generally speaking it’s this. A lot of it is “we don’t buy ads directly anymore talk to our ad network” and then that ad network wants to buy shit at stupid dumpster rates that make no sense. The sponsors all have significant ROI from the site it’s not hard to get a return if you are a business that offers a service or a good product here as the user base is extremely loyal. Like straight up it’s kinda weird that we don’t have a law firm sponsor for all legal needs as weird as that would be it would kill it here.
  4. Yeah we don't need the 9.95er analysis necessarily but who they are, what they've done and why it's a good thing would be EXTREMELY valuable for those threads vs their recruitment tweet and a bunch of titty gifs.
  5. there are more than 2000 unique posters in CR - this is false. I think you are just pissed off about politics which is fine.
  6. The issue is if you take it away all of that goes into all the other threads.
  7. Daily texan and Cloak Room are basically shitholes now because the topics related to both of those things are shit. There isn’t any real news that’s not divisive in the cycle anymore.
  8. lol what the fuck are you talking about no one talks politics anywhere else we moderate it pretty hard.
  9. We are running real short on VIP tickets because we only ordered 450 wristbands and 375 are already sold and paid for.
  10. The discord thing is doable. I even built an integration for bidirectional sync.
  11. I don't really think that's true and computer science/semiconductor design in it's current state is actually proof of that. Sure for maybe some more of the hardcore sciences that require big expensive labs that are only available in academia, yes you are correct.
  12. This is such a strong post. This is the dilemma. I don't have a problem collapsing the boards down that are lightly trafficked and this seem due to happen.
  13. I hope my kids are smart enough to not even go to college. It seems like such a racket to the point where it feels like select sports vs rec league.
  14. I moved that discussion to the other thread in 9.95 for now for visibility. This is exactly right.
  15. I was actually thinking about this today. This is brilliant and very easily doable without really changing anything about the board or doing any development. Yeah - there's no way I'm doing ads for legacy members or treefiddy. If there was a way that wasn't overly manual to do a group with people who have 100 posts within the last year that would get you excluded from ads too. My thing is if you are a pure lurker with no account you see ads, but it shouldn't make the site unusable (that happened this past year and was fixed recently). I've told people this before, but if we had just 8 $750/mo sponsors we'd add even more NIL programs and probably have the Kill Squad done. The site isn't in danger or running at a loss in a fiscal year that is calendar aligned - if it's August to August aligned there isn't a shortfall. The danger is that if Surly shows a loss for more than 1 year it becomes a "hobby" instead of a "business" from the IRS perspective. If anything we just cut back Burnt Ends and the tailgates and call it a day.
  16. That's not really how it works and I am definitely "old" from their perspective, I have 12-16 years on these people.
  17. This is the problem, everyone is too busy on insta and tik tok to do any of that.
  18. Would love to do this. I’d even go in person to meet with counselors etc. the problem is that the school doesn’t seem to want to help. I tried the last 2 years and it fell flat and on deaf ears and I’m not gonna continually chase administrative people to tell kids about the opportunity. The other way is to set up a booth on campus and let people know but I’m now an “old” so it just really comes off as creepy and not genuine IMHO.
  19. Fucking slammed and went hard. doneness was perfect for everyone. Some liked it well done and others more traditional and I like mine rare. I was shocked at how well I nailed the whole gamut.
  20. Those threads had so many screenshottable exchanges and straight up original memes in them like every other page.
  21. Visibility. A lot of people don’t wander out of here at all.
  22. We had 850+ people in Tuscaloosa and averaged well over 100 this year at the tailgates. I think that side will figure itself out next year. The NIL stuff will just get pulled back a bit to allow for some padding at the end of the year. We did 14,400 each basically being okay with some churn off when we could have done 10k and been fine with the churn we had. 2023 had a lot of layoffs. A lot.
  23. The thing is I think everyone is actually aligned on all 4 of your key points and that’s what makes this place special. Sprinkle in a hilarious edit her and there and that’s the magic. I’m not saying we need jimbo getting spiked by a volleyball at pool party gifs all the time, but they have started to get further and further apart.
