Keep in mind that's after I've blocked as much poo poo traffic as I can. So most of that is legit traffic.

What is bad traffic? Bots or something?

Is there any easy way to tell if front page visitors are posters, or vice versa? Curious how many visitors are unique to each portion of the site.

I have a hard time believing the front page attracts anyone in 2017. It must be word-of-mouth or Lets Plays.

We could change the culture by merging D&D and GBS into one subforum called Current Events.

Now, this- this- is an excellent idea.

We should stop making difficult and divisive editorial calls and start working on mindfulness of form. Mindfulness of content will follow naturally.

I think they don't want to register because they take one look at GBS and never come back to the forums

After the CCCC thread was deleted I stopped posting in any of the same places as the 'basement crew'. Now on the outside looking at all the lmbo posts went from just white noise to completely unberable. I dont think GBS needs anything radical done except punish whats always been against the rules, things that arent interesting funny or informative.

I'm glad you were able to break free, those guys are below your weight class Imo.

XCOM scientist: When enough FYADs and QCS SJWs gather together to say that mocking dead mountain climbers for years is wrong and that posting a Krusty picture for months doesn't make anyone want to sign up for the site, they merge. They evolve into something.... more. Yes, the Concern Troll, as I've taken to calling it, is a malicious creature which stomps across the terrain, loudly whining about its fee-fees supposedly being hurt by innocent GBS fun-havers as they catalog and post lulzy death statistics and pictures of decaying third world citizens. I'd advise you don't get too close- that massive, spiked participation trophy it carries can pack a massive wallop.

I think lowtax is like a retired ceo who still sits on a board of directors in that he doesn't give a poo poo unless it affects his dividends, which in this case are 100% of the forum dollars.

Probably doesn't want to do it or it would have been done by now. If they're merged he risks losing a large chunk of users and the potential money that goes with it.
