All this shit going on, and nobody is on this forum. They got 1500 on the LSU forum tonight.

maybe this should be changed to WDOA Detroit.

I am considering exercising the buyout clause in my WTF contract so I can go to another board.

I love this board. And I will not do anything to hurt it.

It does get slow. Without actually trying to think of names there's what... 15 or so people that post within every 48 hour period? 10 maybe?

I average 20 PPD, there's no need to point the finger at me.

You are a legit [smilie=hammertime.: common poster. Glenn, Zekyl, Tahoe and Swami come to mind. Zip, E-ray, Diddy. Well there's the effort I didn't want to put forth thinking of names, sure I missed some.

You average 2.14 posts per day. Are you also a name that comes to mind? Hmm?

I'm not going on average. Just thinking of who posts regularly, recently. 'Getting slow' has nothing to do with average posts per day since signing up.

On another note, my cat hasn't stopped licking her ass for about 6 months now. That sucks.

I go by stats buddy, sorry.

It does seem slow around here lately. Kinda goes in cycles.

If anybody wants to start referring friends and other connections, that would be nice.

We get boatloads of lurkers, so it's kind of on all of us to make the discussions compelling enough that they'll want to register and get involved.

The downside is that all of the inside jokes probably confuse/intimidate a lot of them. Sort of a double edge sword kinda thing.

I bumped this off into a new thread, Zip, hope you don't mind.

Not the only factor at play, but it doesn't help that a bunch of our major contributors all have had major lifestyle changes and aren't available as much as they used to be.

I'm thinking MOLA, Pharaoh, JS, Matt, No Quarter, WTFChris, and those are only the ones whose situations that I am personally aware of.

And then there is the UM/MSU pissing matches that seems to have cost us Jethro, Tre, Hip, tommy z, etc.

Luckily, we've added a solid group of newcomers in the past year that have added a lot, we just need to keep acquiring more.

Well, if it means anything, I saw that Tre updated his avatar.

John Hollinger is a cunt.

:emo kid:

My avatar must not be obnoxious enough for you guys to remember my posts.

I'll have to work on that. Be back in a while.....

Well the first few months I was a member I didn't post much at all. I remember being a bit lost because of all the inside stuff like Glenn said. I have since elevated my knowledge of wtf shit to the point of owning a very nice alpaca rug, I don't use it as a rug though it's too nice to walk on.

Damn, over 6,000 posts and no mention. Only Matt has more (which was also not mentioned).

Wait... we have a member named WTFChris?

I'd post more often, except that I don't.

...heading to the Welcome Wagon thread...

If anyone wants to make any kind of useful suggestions here, feel free, even if you just think "Glenn should stop posting so much".

Does anyone think that a referral contest of some kind might be effective if there was a nice prize(s)?

Methinks that the inside jokes aren't going to cease, so that might be an insurmountable problem.

Does your rug really tie the room together?

Maybe I'll just go into serious mode for a few months, anybody want to join me?

No joke.

^sorry, "jokes"

I think we should just have a thread explaining the inside jokes

Yes it ties the room together quite nicely.

Unfortunately I don't have anybody to refer. I know 0 people who like the Pistons, Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, Wolverines, Sparties, or any other teams from the Michigan area.

I have one friend I'm going to try to start working on. He posts on video game forums and I watch sports with him all the time. Worth a shot.

Get your girlfriend to post here, Bryan. We need females.

She's not online enough. She spends a ton of time studying and the only Detroit sport she follows closely is the Wings. She'll watch the Pistons with me and she watches the Lions if they don't come on at the same time as the Steelers. I'm not sure about baseball, we started dating after the season was over.

Ha, just realized you called me Bryan.

We need to get Tre to come back and make up some more stories about former MSU recruits. Always good for business.

Don't nothin' include darkobetterthanMelo.

Yes, me defrocked ledezma and Uxka, with the occasional micknugget sighting hold down the sportsbook. I am the Lord of Alpacas, however.

But I have the alpaca rug.

I like Glenn's idea. Referral contest.
I wonder about "inside jokes" and why they would scare posters away. Every forum, job, social situation, whatever has them.

Other than that, it could just be that peopl read my posts and think "damn, I can;t match this guy, plus he knows everything! He said just what I would have said"

I like the referral contest idea, but what does the winner get?

What I always liked about this site was you could make some innocuous comment like "Fuck the Lakers" and not have Laker fans cryin and bitchin and arguing and trolling for the next month.

That said, we ran into a lil prob with the UofM MSU thing. I could see some peeps taking some time off but some of these guys just made like a banana and split. Stay and fight for whatchou think is right. thenaganidint

It's nice that the trolls don't show up on here before games like on other forums.

Laffo.

We don't need any quitters back.

I assure you all that I am here for the long haul. God damnit, I've carried this board on my shoulders while these asshats dropped and God damnit, I will continue to do so.

And we all feel extremely thankful to you, good sir.

Ficksed.

Another reason the board might be a lil slow is UofM didn't get it done, MSU is...well...MSU, I guaranfuckintee if the Lions had won 2 of the last 3 and would be 8-3 the NFL forum would be busier and the Pistons are going to win a lot of games but everyone knows what counts is the what we do in the playoffs.

Or what "we" don't do.

what is that, stetson? did i ever tell you guys about the time my track coaches bought me an entire case of that?

*cracks beer*

well it was my senior year of highschool, i had been on the varsity team for two years now so obviously i was quite comfortable and too good to train.

so pretty much i was terrible my entire senior year, and was only on varsity my when they needed me. so when the big rivalry meet against North came around (we were south (royal we)), i ran the "iron man" to get my fire going. basically me and three other friends ran every race in a track meet. and not to brag, but i won every race among the 4 of us that extended beyond the 310 (?) hurdles.

anyway, got rewarded with that iron man calogne. pretty damn sweet.

Let me know when the contest starts so I can have the crew of immigrants I found join.

There's at least 16 of them.

Are any of them from the Balkans?

Over half, actually.
