Political forum discussion and planning

is too bad

Yeah, but that's like saying you could shit in your mouth for longer than I was able to recite a sonnet. Apples and fucked up little oranges.

It's also the only thing BH has to be "proud" of, in relation to Alty.  As if anyone could be proud of running a forum with idiots like EBS and Oldghost running around the place.

Are you seriously giving up after what, a month? After virtually no recruitment efforts?

OK. 

I mean, I tried to pimp it around, but you gotta give it time. This is reminding me of all the bead ladies who are like "I put up a website a week ago but nobody's buying my stuff!"

Three months with no-one bothering to recruit and a steadily declining userbase.  There were no posts at all in the final week.

But thank you for your condescending comment.

The traffic was about 90% trolling all along anyway.

CC's been around a long time too, and we all went there. Doesn't mean it's good for anything but shitting on.

Well, I did post it to several boards. Did anyone else?

It was a good idea, pity it seems to have died.

I advertisted for it on Facebook.  I'm banned from a large number of political sites and the other sites I'm a member of tend to be non-political and/or have rules against promoting personal sites.

Other people also advertised for it, I believe, but nothing happened.  We had very few non-PD signups.  Of those PD signups, most were infrequent posters.  The number of posts sharply declined from July into August, and then dropped to nothing at all.  And like I said at the start of this, I'm not going to be saddled with a dead website.

FWIW, there's this one guy I know who I really wanted to get on board and would have been a great guy to have there, but he's dropped off the face of the earth for months now, apparently still in town but keeping to himself, so I never got a chance.

But yeah, getting a community started generally takes a LOT of time, and/or a LOT of effort, and some luck as well, apparently. If the project's not completely abandonedever revived I'll still pop in once a while.

[Salty]

I am but a humble human with server space. But I don't think I'll do any more forums. I like PD, and don't need much else in the way of communication with in that way.

I'm thinking of using the place as a AK Tea Party recruitment site or maybe a satirical online newspaper.

The Alaska Daily Disco, perhaps.

I really regret not trying to get more people to come. I guess it kind of feel under the eternal category of "Ill do it later". Still it was a fun project while it lasted, and when people actually posted.

[Salty]

Despite my earlier sentiment, I am grateful to everyone that did contribute. It was good stuff.

Well still is. I couldn't erase it completely yet, so it's all still around.

[The Johnny]

would it be much trouble for my "low achievement" thread to be reposted here in AI?

[Salty]

Not a problem, I still have all that stuff. Just give me a day or two and I can get on that.
