When you have an increase in activity you attract more regular contributors, and your visitors vist more frequently.

Eg, i can look at GG&J 2 times a week and take in all the discussions and threads quite easily. You get me hitting your forum twice and only seeing 2 sets of banners etc etc. I hit netpond constantly, and its not because there is more business related content ... but because its always moving.

I just believe sigwhores are a necessary evil.

no offence but theres not much logic to your case

I think the idea here - and why we all agree this board is best for business - is that there is not mad activity from soem guy posting 10 ' would you hit it threads' - if we want to see 'activity' as you call it we will head on over to gfy and join in the crap

old chinese proverb
" i take 10 se hits over 100 tgp hits every day"


my extrapolation of this proverb

" i like read 10 good post not 100 shit post"

My personal feeling about sig whores is that they need to find something constructive to do. Okay sure, some of them get paid, but overall I'd say that's probably not the case.

I know Greenie and a few others from way back and assume they know I'm not a newb, but if anyone else does... oh well. Post counts be damned!

I've been around this biz long enough to know that I can find better uses for my limited time than posting when I don't have an absolute need to do so, and I'm very selective about the threads I respond to. I'm a single mom working a full-time day job and raising a 16-year-old in addition to slinging porn... I barely have time to read the board a couple of times a week, let alone post a bunch of times about things that have nothing to do with me or my business.

I don't read other boards anymore. I can get everything I need, both business and entertainment, right here... and I don't have to deal with all the annoying BS in the process, which makes me a very happy wench indeed

OMG - is that THE Wenchy???

How the hell are you? What have you been up to?

You know, I love the way this board brings out so many people that we haven't seen around in years. It's like old home week around here all the time!

Glad to see you posting here Wenchy - you've been missed!
