I've seen evidence of Tracy doing server admin stuff for Taichi Master Adam, and that would require the patience of Job to accomplish.

The dude has plus or minus 14 ad slots on each page. :laughing:

I don't think there's a need for that yet. :innocent: there was a need

Let's keep this thread about TAZ profitability. Please start another thread if you'd like to discuss the evidence of life on anyone's forum board.

I hope Howie was MattW on a retainer fee because that can be a lot of fire fighting with Howie at the wheel.

Yeah, I understand that, there's probably a lot of handshakes going back and forth with the vbresults app. That seems to be evident because the thread promoting the app was meant to be a Q&A thread about it for only 30 days.

"Re-invested", used to pay for that vbResults app. It's interesting, seems like with the decline in the last 3 years or so or more, it seems that there are the same number of staff Howie has always used. They must get pretty bored over there with less moderating to do.

Oooh, the whole "ignore function" is a great topic. It's hardly used by anybody, and even when mods tell people to use it, they don't. Even if you are able to FORCE ignore on a couple of people, they'll work to get around it. I personally think it's useless. The only way to make it better is to extend it to work like Facebook's "block" function. For this site too, it's worthless. I'll disable it, or make it unavailable. Take a break if somebody is getting on your nerves. Who's actually used it? Was it worth really having? I think it's more trouble than it's worth because it prods you into peeking at what your ignored members are saying. A really poor implementation. I'm not sure if any "forum board" has done it correctly.

Google Adwords doesn't report as many daily pageviews for TAZ as one would think. I think it was something like 5k or 6k a day maybe. As a result, it's dirt cheap to advertise on there with CPM ads. With the popularity of ad blockers, stackexchange and it's new 'community building' area, TAZ's fortunes will continue to dwindle. It seems most new members on TAZ are people trying to plug their brand new site, and it isn't attracting more seasoned forum administrators. Howie would tell us that all the veterans are already registered, lol Between the footer ads and the premium memberships that he seems to give away more than earn, and the fact that he has to hire out help for practically everything, he may be breaking even on his hobby. I suspect he'd like to sell the site, but probably missed out on the most lucrative time to get rid of it. I'm at a loss to even guess at what it's worth. 80% of the posts on TAZ are no longer timely with the respect to forum management, by my estimate. It does well in Google results, but it doesn't look like those results are generating many new registrations or fresh content. Those are just my guesses and theories.

I thnk he's a regular at the WBB support forums.

Don't you get it MIKE Edge, MICrosoft Edge?

[uSER=6]@#11[/uSER] Just spotted him, stalking me in Nebraska. Or am I stalking them? Maybe GTB is on to something. [ATTACH=full]189._xfImport[/ATTACH]

The Cure, that's another band I'd like to see, but I'd probably have to attend it by myself. Nobody hangs out with me when I'm in a Cure mood.

Right, those threats of voting for Hilary over Trump ring hollow. Maybe they need to accept the presumptive nominee, and follow Reagan's 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican"

I've never seen that Hogan's Hero's one, that's hilarious I was reading about Curt Shilling getting fired from ESPN due to some insensitive tweets and memes or something, so I was looking at some he posted. Pretty inane if you ask me... [ATTACH]184._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]185._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]187._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]188._xfImport[/ATTACH]

'Crazy Bernie' "Big wins in West Virginia and Nebraska. Get ready for November — Crooked Hillary, who is looking very bad against Crazy Bernie, will lose!" Trump wrote, using his preferred moniker for Clinton. He continued in a second tweet: "I don't want to hit Crazy Bernie Sanders too hard yet because I love watching what he is doing to Crooked Hillary. His time will come!"

One peso is about a nickle in USD. That's a steal, depending which side of the peso you're on.

Maybe if TAZ had search available to guests, people wouldn't have to register there and ask such easy-to-answer questions?

Probably just as far along on development as Skooppa too

Saint Mike you mean.

BOP goes by JoeBulletin too, although I don't believe it is a legally sanctioned named by Chickenscratches.

ffs, Scotty is Scott Molinari, right? Ziggy? Zippy?

Those are verified members, then there is the Chickenscratches "Expanded Universe": Taichi Master = Adam Howard Sami Davis Jr. = Sami from GTB's forum board. General La Bombe / dumdum/ A Beautiful Mind - GTB Mr. V. - TAZ Howie Zippy - ZappaDPJ Scotty - s.molinari Gobust - Robust is that tt?
