You mean hiding this place from the world for a year wasn't the best growth strategy Joe could have implemented?
Hiding the place from search engines for months made sure no new people showed up. Mocking those who used to post here with a "click to enter forums" image with no link lost us a good chunk of regulars. Joe's stupid decisions and mismanagement drove away more. I said it then, and I'll say it again. It's kind of hard to pretend this level of incompetence isn't intentional.
Madtown made a lot of dumb decisions that made this place about as fun as a sock full of public hair. Then Joe came along and burned the sock. In a box. Behind a locked door. With the lights off.
Whatever happened to that shitty forum that guy from here started where they just tried to sell you coffee cups and tee shirts?
