There's really not much point to this, anymore.

I didn't want a life-changing experience, but I looked into the eyes of a Wolfpoet, and, well...

Also, while I'm all about the enthusiasm for IRL recruitment, I would like to point out that recruitment in and of itself is not a strategy destined for success.  If they turn up here and all they find is...well, the last two days in essence, lots of gaping silence and little else, they are not going to be inclined to stay.

Well, that will have to change, won't it?

Because I spent the previous several days writing content, and it seemed like there was nobody there to read it.

Chicken/egg/whatever.  I don't know about you, Cain, but I feel like I've been screaming into a void.

The last two days have been especially dire, yes.

Recruitment is definitely part of a move in the right direction, but I just didn't want the (very welcome) enthusiasm for it causing people to overlook the other issues.  It's part of the fix, certainly, but other things will have to change, as well.

I'm all ears.

I'm still thinking.  Unfortunately, a cold is not aiding this process.

In my opinion we need more organized trolling. Nothing strengthens communal bonds like crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you and hearing the lamentations of their women.

Plus Im still kind of pissed about how our PUA jihad sputtered out and died.

One of the first things that brought me here in the first place was ColbertGASM. I sent stuff to him before I even posted here.

Trolling people on the Internet is all good fun, but with what we are capable of, and the goals that we actually do share, I can't help but think that there are people put there we can make cringe and cry and gnash their teeth. Focused efforts on individuals or small groups from angles and tactics beyond online activities. We could take turns with people in our respective areas. I dunno. I think that'd get people active.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yeah i cant really get on board with a trolling expedition. I only like trolling in small amounts and thats more likely than not to attract posters who are here to counter troll rather than become a pder

[AFK]

I'm not sure how trolling somewhere else creates content here, other than a few posts on the invisible board that interested users won't even be able to see. 

We need a crass marketing-ploy.

Time to resurrect Project Meme-Boobs!

 I think its worth considering we are old.

Today's yutes are not interested in trolling.

They are doing that weird thing. Behind the wood shed.  We tell ouselves we used to do that, but we really have no idea.

Also - I feel rude referring to 'us' as 'we'

I agree; organized trolling is GOOD CLEAN FUN and also it's a TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY.

The problem I've been having is that I can't seem to find good targets anymore. Forums like the Cellar and TCC; people who fill me with loathing and contempt. It's no good when I just feel kind of sorry for them. I don't get that nerve-zap of divine inspiration if I don't hate.

[rong]

So the solution is more hate.

Me too. I spent a good chunk of time researching, brainstorming, collecting/making images and writing a bunch of material and then the entire invasion was shitcanned at the last minute.

That was on the heels of putting a similar amount of time into an illustration for Gogira only to find out that she already went ahead with the project without an illustration and didn't bother to tell anyone, but felt it appropriate to take a vague shit on what I made for her via pm.

I don't have time for this any more. I'm putting school on hold in order to work as many jobs as possible to support my daughter and putting my creative energy into collaborative projects with people I know IRL that won't give me the shaft at the last minute.

At least people's writing can stand alone and can be published in the future as you see fit. The stuff I was working on is useless out of context and a complete waste of time. It was tailored to a specific purpose.

I'm not going to be around much. I'm involved in a start-up, a production gig, and an all-consuming search for a regular paycheck. I still like you guys, and I'll keep tabs on what's happening around here, but life and my own failures as a person have relegated me to being an observer (not that I've ever produced much worthwhile content here).

Speaking as a shitty father and shitty PD member,
may butts be on your face.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The invasion wasn't shitcanned. Rather, only a couple of people showed up, and even though I was there and poised, my heart wasn't in it because I find it oddly difficult to hate people that pathetic. It's like hating those guys on the realdoll forum.
