This is NOT a hater thread.. but...

[roy-nexus-6]

Not trying to get things stirred up or anything... but I've been back to the old board a few times to check for stragglers who don't know where everyone has gone.

Anyway, 18 days ago, I took a screen capture - then did the same again today. In that time, there have been 1591 new posts, or 88 per day. This data is skewed: for 10 days, quite a few people were writing farewell posts etc... so the real count is probably 50 or less posts per day.

In that same time period, this board accrued something like 30 000 new posts.

I've seen some odd things on the internet.. but NEVER anything like this. Rule 1 of community based forums - keep the community happy [shakes head].

Is that really a banner ad for remote controlled cars?   

Maybe the new members/posts are the new 696 owners looking for the famed community.  The DML has a huge internet footprint relative to other Ducati Monster site searches so it's understandable that they choose the blue pill instead of the red pill when doing the clicky-click thing.  Good work on the subversive infiltration!

lol - I hadn't even noticed the banner add. Yes, remote controlled cars.

re the DML footprint, I've been thinking about that. If we all ended each post with the words 'Ducati Monster' or one of a list of five common mods, the impact on google would be massive. 100s of interconnected pages dealing with monster related items. Hell, we could even put them in out signature lines.

That would be a riot

What are you implying?  That thread is in the no moto content and is a post about rc info, on the dml, its a banner on the top of the page of a ducati monster forum (not said in an angry tone).  there is a diffrence

Isn't this just the coolest Ducati Monster Forum ever? I'm so glad I was invited over to the new Ducati Monster Forum. I've made so many new friends through the Ducati Monster Forum!

How many times do you think I can use Ducati Monster Forum in the same post?

I'm implying saying that there is actually interest in RC cars on the forum, thus justifing the advertisers choice in demographics. That's it. Not a big deal.

Now, there's an idea!

It will even apply retroactively to all of one's posts, which could make for a really huge count. If one didn't actually want to look at all of them, I suppose they could be colored the same as background.

Edit: I can't quite figure out how to make it all invisible, but black is pretty unobtrusive.

clever on the surface, but ultimately reeks of spam.  I know I wouldn't want to see it plastered everywhere. 

c'mon, we're above that.

... I know I wouldn't want to see it plastered everywhere.  ...

You wouldn't want to see what plastered everywhere?


...wait for it...

This actually works, on another forum I hang on we recently got bored and decided to see if we could get it the site to hit when you search "elephant hysterectomies" needless to say a motorcycle forum is now the top several sites that pop up when you google it.

Hmm... wanna see if we can overtake sportbikez.net?

elephant hysterectomies....

LOL... I had a link to the thread on my sig too, it takes a couple weeks for google to recognize it.
