Popular board we got here.......
| Wed, 02-16-2005 - 11:07pm |
I was just curious and checking out the numbers of messages posted on my favorite boards. This one had more than Guy Talk today (and maybe this has been happening a lot lately since I haven't really looked before). There was a time you couldn't even keep up with that board. And Living Single is dying a slow painful death with only 3 messages posted. I wonder which board gets the most messages per day consistently....hmmmm.

When I first started CL-ing this board I could manually count how many new posts we had in a week - less than 100/week. Back in May 2004 I was excited when we hit 45 posts in one day . Nowadays, we hit close to 100 posts in a day - sometimes more - and close to 1000 posts/week - sometimes more.
As CL - yes - I do check out our "competitors" and I feel really good when I see how well we're doing and how popular this board has become in the last year. And yes - we almost always have more posts that the other boards on this channel.
Not only do we have a lot of posters - we are a very diverse group that for the most part gets along really well. We help each other, offer support, set each other straight - whatever we all need - and almost always respectfully. I know that there is some tension among certain members and that sometimes things get a little out of hand. But everyone tends to get back on track fairly quicky and we continue to roll. Overall, I have no complaints. I am grateful for each and every one of you - for anything that you have to contribute to this forum. I'm glad that you are all here posting and sharing - for better or for worse.
But....since you asked....check out this link. I promise it'll blow your mind.

Hi Y'all,
1.empathy
2.HONESTY
3.integrity
4.humanity (care and concern for others)
5.Hilarity! :)
These, for me, are the main reasons I think that this board does so well. Always open to new members; sure, some posters know each other better, but they are not "clique-ish". If something is popular, it is so for a good reason. In this case, I think it fulfills a need, And it is so enjoyable as well!
Gee....I am kinda thinking that what we have Here, is what each of us is looking for in a relationship! If so, then we are on the right path!
Roll on, little rocks...
