Here's an unoriginal idea

The real irony is that the reason he found this board in the first place was because I sent him links to a few of the many creative projects that have stemmed from it, and from the big ole meanies here, over the last few years. 

Pssshhhh. Creative projects, we need NUMBERS dammit!
Post counts! New blood!

There is something to be said for the numbers. He's not wrong in that regard. This place has been quiet as hell for over a year.

I'm going with the ECH response to that:  I'd rather have 12 people producing neat shit, than 100 assmonkeys telling hot dog jokes.

Our post count is in the basement, sure.  But what IS here is worth fucking READING.

Yeah, look at The Discordian Society Facebook group. It's busy as shit, and about as worth reading.

But it doesn't mean busy as shit means not worth reading. You can have both.

Agreed.
A you said, another postergasm (or something) would be great.

Yes, you can have both. I'm just saying that you can't judge the quality of a board based on numbers alone.

That would be best, though i don't mind reusing old posters.

Yes that metric for activity is better quantified by the frequency of people posting that everyone is sitting around f5ing.
It's currently on the down compared to previous months, but reflective of a low period overall.

That's because I have access to other forums at work again. 

When this place turns into a morgue, I just go elsewhere.

You guys are killing this forum and through it, Dischordianism itself.

The forum stats show that not only are you failing to attract new users, you're actively driving away old ones. I say "you" because there's clearly a core group of users who have been here from near the start, and I say you're the ones doing it because that makes you the only common denominator. It's not a question of people naturally losing interest in the cause/philosophy/religion/whatever, something like this can potentially survive indefinitely; it has no natural life-cycle. Under RAW and his mates, it grew explosively.
But it's obviously dying now. There's plenty of debate in the archives where you've argued and defended your reasons for doing what you do impeccably, I'm sure you could effectively out-reason or belittle me as you have done so many other nutcases, but it really doesn't matter how well you can justify it to others or even yourselves if it's not working.

Have you not noticed or do you just not give a shit? Answers on a postcard, please.

Could it be that the core users are just unhappy with life?

Finding contentment while on the path to the end of a goal.
Once at the end of said path, they feel the same as before because they never solved anything.
They simply distracted themselves.

Leading them to destroy everything they worked for?

That sounds like a load of hooey
But.....
Every year for the last five has been getting better and better for me, and every year I've posted less and less.

So maybe you have a point.

The trick is to make everyone miserable so that they keep posting.

See, and I went back to school and stopped bothering with dating, and am generally happier (if more tired and stressed-out).

So maybe he's onto something. We need more unhappy people.

I feel like alot of these guys' problems with PD can be boiled down to "how can you all be such relatively happy and successful people and still be so angry?"

Uhh, sorry YOUR life isn't meeting your own standards, bunky. And for what it's worth, most of us LIKE being angry.

Some of us don't have a choice. I'm relatively happy largely because I'm angry all the fucking time.

Sun Tzu says that if you loose a battle, you will want to fight another one to try and win.
( Definitely with much better wording and a sentence before that one about what happens if you win a battle. )

I feel like that applies here, because these are not mere arguments, they are motherfucking battles of the mind.
