I wonder what the cost per user is for upkeep? I hope it's really, really high.

That is why I find them such a fascinating lava lamp. I don’t have anything personally against them or have any memory of them as posters pre-exodus and, therefore, don’t have any vested interest as to how that site does going forward either way.

However, their behavior seems to violate the “does it make you money/make you happy” rule. They CLEARLY aren’t making any money and CLEARLY can’t reasonably expect they will. With that being the case, how rewarding/happy can it make you if you’re taking the skeleton of a once great site and just using it for two-way communication with just one other person?

Like i said...fascinating.

[Dutchrudder 10973]

It makes me happy to see it's a ghost town. Fuck Kevin Morgan and his merry band of regards on that site.

the suspense is killing me.  Do you think there will be a 3rd vote to break the tie?  What month do you think it will happen?  What was the esit he made?  So many questions. 

It's a very fluid situation

It's a very fluid situation

They have medicine for that now.

Not sure how they plan on expanding during football season.  I applied for a new account on an alternative IP over a month ago and am still waiting on the moderators to approve.

They haven't added a new member since August 3 (some dude with 1 post trying to sell tickets), I think it's pretty much the Mary Celeste at this point.

BREAKING NEWS!  There has been a 3rd vote cast.  There has been a 3rd vote cast!

The all important TIE BREAKING vote. 

[HOOK'EMHOOAH 1600]

There is the proposition that instead if breaking the tie in this race that will undoubtedly require a recount after polls close, the third voter could vote third option. If that happens who know where this could go.

[mdleast 8016]

It only took a week to get that third vote. I guess things really HAVE started to pick up there now that football season has started.

Three votes....yet there are still only two posters on the thread, badmofo and texaswolfe.

Padding post counts I see.

That Shaggy game thread is the saddest thing I've ever seen.  Why would someone post 198 times by himself?  Page after page of one guy posting.  Why?

Has hornfans started making fun of them yet? Certainly there is a post or two about the jackassery

Well, just remember, chipping in for this site is the most pathetically funny thing Hornfans those three guys that one guy has ever seen!

Well, they're up to 201 replies.  LoneWolf had better be on guard, there was one post not made by him.   Any guesses?  Anyone?? Yep, you're right.

[UTCzech III 2892]

No, there was actually one other:

Holy cow. 198 posts, no responses. 

This is the saddest thread in the history of the internet.

[markstanco 12424]

Ha! And yes, because of that badmofo "has his mod eye on him".

What a tool. He has a potential poster that will increase posters by 50% yet he may ban him for being snarky on a message board. Dumbfuck.

[mdmost 42167]

His whispering mod eye?

[immortal13 4059]

Badmofo has to be trolling.

Gotta be a troll job.  They run their little stupid shit over there and come over here to get attention from our reactions.

There’s no one so committed to their troll that they’d spend multiple games logging every play without anyone else at least acknowledging their existence. That is a mental disorder.

[Fozzz 152]

I guess LoneWolf is paid. But what's the point?  Either way it's insane.

I'd guess that it's to keep up a bare minimum of activity for advertising, but I don't see any advertising.  I also know they're not activating any new member requests so they're apparently not interested in growing it.  Can't imagine what the motivation is at this point.

Spite.

if they are turning away new members while also posting play-by-play game threads I think it has to be a bit.

There were 5 new threads started at cat scat city yesterday....all started by texaswoof, all with.....0 replies.

An interesting one is "why I came back to the shag"   beware of clicks.

[UTCzech III 2892]

Click, click, click.  That mean ol' click!  I gave the shag my hard cash!  But the shag will rise again!

I'm using their (texaswoof) spelling and vernacular, not mine.   Laughed like hell over seeing "clicks" until I put it into a twisted sort of context.
