that's where we disagree though GoBlue..
Singling someone out like that isn't good for the forum... Why should anyone post picks here if there's a chance if they lose, people will go put in their signature how badly they are doing... its not like this person is a tout selling picks... Why should someone post threads here when everytime they something they get jumped about how stupid they are...
In this specific case, it's not like JC ever posted anything that was even close to malicious (in terms of the original subject content). He wasn't a racist, and I don't think anyone including you would say he was a bad person. He was just an easy target....
I'm not saying we all have to hold hands but what happened with JC was out of control, and wasn't good for the forum. Again, i'm not saying he shouldn't have been called on some of the things, in a lot of cases he was asking for opinion and got it, but IMO, this turned into a "mob mentality" against him, and why should he ever post here again when that's the case... That was my problem with the thread.. (<)<
Defying it never fails.
Anytime you have a high traffic thread in the offshore it increases the traffic of all the other threads in that same forum.
I noticed that the entire offshore forum in general yesterday had a traffic bump in all the other threads because of the JC thread yesterday.
I remember when Jag had his famous stiff thread the entire offshore forum was buzzing those few days.
A high traffic thread in the offshore forum has a wave effect that lifts all the other threads in the forum.
Just look at your traffic numbers anytime there is a busy thread in the offshore.
It lifts all the other threads to.
Its kind of like in the TV business with a lead in show.
Back when Seinfeld or American Idol were huge whatever tv show the networks would put on immediately before or after those shows would get an automatic boost just for the simple fact people watching Seinfeld or American Idol were still watching or about to watching those shows.
This is the #1 reason the Jay Leno primetime slot was a disaster for NBC.
Jay would come on right before all the local late night news broadcast.
All the local NBC networks were getting killed in the ratings because Jay Leno was lagging all the other big network lead shows.
People need to quit looking at a busy thread as just one thread.
A busy thread lift the entire sub forum.
Everything is organic in the forum world.
