Is This Board Dying? (1 Viewer)

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.

A church certainly trumps a supermarket parking lot

 

[acarey50]

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.

I used to drive this Latina girl I worked with to the BJ's Price Club parking lot in Jersey City after work 3-4 times a week. That place was SO aptly named.

Dropped her off right at the Grove Street PATH station immediately afterward so she could catch the train back to Manhattan and I would get on the NJ Turnpike and drive home with a cigarette and a Cheshire Cat grin. I was so much cooler then.

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.

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

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

That's a 3 month snapshot with no real year over year context. And it is estimated not verified. Further it really says nothing about the forums and their use.It's really not much better than speculation.

Yep, that link is laughable:

How fast does footballguys.com load?
Fast (0.957 Seconds), 78% of sites are slower.

It nevers loads faster than .96431067 seconds for me.

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.

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

Maybe some members here subscribe to FBG, but few and far between strictly due to the FFA.

My mistake. Alexa used to be a solid source for traffic information. Assumed that it still was. Apparently not so much anymore. I haven't looked, but there are probably other sites that will give you some objective sample data.

I agree that the lack of good Friday threads has hurt the FFA. Maybe it goes with the notion that this is now an older group of people, but we used to have hilarious dating threads on Fridays, with our FFA singles saying stuff like they brought desert to their dates apartment and showed up with Captain Crunch (Berries).

[Ilov80s]

No good Friday threads, did you see WTF WHY?

 

[sublimeone]

If you've been around for a little while, this place is still pretty good. The problem is the people who post here like it's their job. You can't have a discussion without a certain contingent coming in and shutting down conversation through various obnoxious methods. Float a unique idea and it's instantly ridiculed. The PC police force in here is far too strong and that has snuffed out open dialogue on anything remotely controversial.

See, right there - thats the problem,

We need more broads around here. Maybe FBGs needs to expand their presence on Pinterest

Maybe we can run a best boobs contest for new subscribers to submit selfies, and best pair gets a 1-year subscription to the Test Forum.
