How did gE do it?
« on: April 23, 2014, 06:44:46 PM »
WtW.com is hurting.  How was gE able to successfully develop a rebel board and convert good :users: 's away from the mothership? Help us, you're our only hope. (But don't sign up for accounts.  That has been temporarily disabled d/t a recent bot attack).

Only thing holding this thing together is a consistently good football team.  I don't think you can sustain BBS success without it.

gE was struggling too, and then Mr Bread signed up one day. The rest is history. Until that time, sd pretty much posted 24/7 and started a bunch of new threads none stop. I think that was the formula.

You have to have good posters to begin with.  They will attract others.  WtW has no good posters.

Go round up those who were banned for being too boss at other sites.  Then weed  them out through a make it or break it PI process.

You have to be able to criticize and objectively look at your programs and PI the eff out of those that can't.  Wave the phog doesn't do that well

Don't be afraid to push the envelope, even when it pisses off Saul. Bad publicity is still publicity!

Need to get on TV in Arkansas. Then it just goes absolutely crazy from there. All of the big time things start in Arkansas.

If you hadn't made Beems so jelly, maybe you could have had him jump start your blog.

His powers are useless there.  Still, I agree.

The biggest part to it is having posters on the board that "get it!"

In general, K-State fans have a sense of camaraderie that is simply lacking with most KU fans.  That's basically why WTW doesn't work.  There's no sense of community... it's just a few snarky posters who act like they're above everyone else (see: Spracne).

No idea why you are pursuing this beef.  I mostly leave you alone because picking on you feels like battering a woman.   :th_twocents:
