Is This Board Dying? (1 Viewer)

[AAABatteries]

I think the point about the lack of pictures and fancier things is a good one. If I was 25 and had never been here I wouldn't spend 10 seconds on this board. I would be at reddit or whatever board is younger/funnier/more modern. I like the people here though so I keep returning.

This board is basically your parent's church.

I got a handy in church once. No one here has ever jacked me off.

Oh, bull####.

I'm positive that was EG the other night on the subway. He even smirked when I asked him how Clyde was or at least it looked like a smirk.

This place I still going full steam ahead compared to wait happened over at the huddle about 2 years ago..... their Tailgate used to have a ton of activity, now it is a ghost town.

Part of what brought me here a lot more often, though now I am a lurker more. There, I felt part of the "community" as I had been on the board from the beginning of the site... here, since I am relatively new, I don't have that same history so I am a bit more hesitant to jump in on various threads not knowing all of the dynamics between posters yet.

Why don't you shut the hell up, n00b?

Well played.

I left about a year ago because of him. Came back after a few months, and still wonder why.

You know what.... #### IT! I can't stand that guy, and Chet's right. This place is dying. Bye all!

ive tried to be nice to you because you're very intelligent, but you're such a whiny ##### that I can't even try anymore I never asked you to leave, but if you really feel the need to go because of me, then don't let the door hit your ### on the way out.

Yeah Chet...it's puzzling.

Young people tweet they don't go on boards.

Younger people don't even tweet.

I didn't see it posted but I advocated a while ago for more image options, be it embeds or fresher smileys than the ones we've had for 15 years. Maybe audio would be good or YouTube links too.

This won't attract people but it might slow attrition.

I blame the lack of punch.

And Nigel Tufnel.

This, especially.

I think you underestimate the importance of punch.

That's a weird thing to tweet about.

 

[msommer]

Why take a look when its more fun to just speculate?

they let Canadians in here? wtf.

Souljaays.....

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Literally.

When we started posting here (or predecessors to here), the demographic was mostly 20-30 year olds. We're now 40-50.

This is exactly correct. We're moving into middle age, aren't posting as much, and generally aren't as mirthful as we once were.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

its better to burn out, then to fade away...............

The fact that everybody here instantly places that phrase in its correct musical context tells you everything you need to know about our demographics.

Shutting itself down.

you and Tim are doing a great job.

Son, Otis breathed life into this place ca. 2006 and carried it on his back for a solid half decade. Sit down.

Yes. I frequent another board (video game related). Allowing gif & jpg here would be glorious. GLORIOUS!

I love the simple design of these boards. It is the band of "look at me" #######s that ruin this place.

Does anyone subscribe to FBG just to support this site? Even though you don't play fantasy football?

Hey, this is a fantasy football site. It ain't Unicef. Maybe one day Unicef will het into the fantasy football business.

I call dibs on the board's clothes if it dies.

Are subscriptions down as well? Not sure if board is dying but some of you guys are really mean to newbies, it's a miracle I still post here.

Just great, now see what this thread has done?

 

[Eminence]

You would think that the population of this board would be directly related to the popularity of the NFL as well. So there' s also that, if everyone thinks the NFL has become a watered down version of the past, why would they spend time talking about it online?

Pretty sure Chet wanted this. My notes indicate he does not get along with Spock, Politician Spock, Spock the Politician, Spock the Geophysicist, Spocks Penis, and anyone with a Spock avatar.

Adapt or Perish. And we are perishing. And its a shame because this place is pretty good.

I don't believe it is, but if you're right then so be it.

Who asked you?

Back on topic...I'm not sure why we aren't getting new posters to add life to the board. There must be a reason.

Content.

Think about it. A thread talking about 70's rock or politics will get up to at least a few pages but a thread about Future and Ciara breaking up gets a "who is that?". haha

The FFA isn't adding many users bc it basically holds no value to FBG. A profitless place where a group of men congregate to kill time online.

X

Really, explain to me how they are monetizing the FFA?

Oh dear.
