Under the 'sleeper' identity, this is true.

O-Trap;1241718 wrote:Okay, fair enough. That was legitimate, though I would note that I never stated any credentials, so as such, it was probably a combination of BOTH appeal to authority and argumentum ad populum. My error, and I recant that part.

I suppose since your position has yet to be substantiated, I should ask by what you assert your position as true. So, how have you come to your conclusion? Please cite numbers and/or sources as necessary.

Also, please explain the flaw in the following:

Targeted traffic + a manageable niche + fresh (ie not rehashed) content = a profitable website (forum, blog, etc.)

Also, your notion of "faith" is relatively flawed, but that's a whole new subject.

sleeper;1241798 wrote:Faith is belief without evidence. This is used to justify the erroneous belief of billions on this planet, so given this I am able to use faith to justify anything. Why live in a world rooted by evidence and reason when faith can win and end every argument?

Congratulations. You're legendary on a forum you yourself seem to think is failing.

Justin doesn't know how to do punishments nor does he know how to run a forum. And before I get the, "sleeper he has been running this place for over 2 years and its still going..". Yeah it's still going, but new member acquisition is about zero and the large swath of members didn't come here organically, they came here from the most abusive web forum in history.

Not only that, Justin has somehow convinced himself that the users who post, generate content, drive website hits are the problem and the solution is to attract the people who never post and only read occasionally. He's absolutely clueless on how to attract new, content generating, active users and is instead letting the old farts who barely know how to use a computer flood the forum.

Great business model. :thumbup:
