Brinkmanship

We need to go back to our roots and go after the users that got this place started.

The subreddit r/monsterjam has 3.6k monster truck enthusiasts registered as members. If we could get those people to talk about monster trucks here, eventually they would branch out to non-monster-truck threads.

maybe we could create a back page and people could come in there without all the fanfare and spectacle of the front page

I'm pretty happy that Discourse(TM) is roughly partitioned off into the angry nerd zones instead of literally everywhere and it's inescapable. That's cool and good.

What does that have to do with the front page though?

Poke me.
Replace the front page with the zombocom flash animation, but poorly-edited to replace every instance of 'zombo' with 'something awful'.

INCOMING!
Whatever you post on the front page it needs to be funny. And you gotta keep doing it consistently. And you probably need a team of people doing that. And no one works for free anymore so someone’s gotta bankroll it.

That’s how you bring new people in.

An essay about why we’re so cool is cute, but it’s not it imo.

instead of recruiting today’s youth, how about advertising in nursing homes and on fox news to pull in even older posters? they have so much wisdom and experience to offer.
