It was a slow build, linked and mentioned on a few places and then just friends sent it to friends, etc etc.
Several people that are no longer active here were very instrumental in it. As far it not being as good as it was, well thats perhaps right, but you would probably find that in some views, that it was at its best at a totally different time than what 'some' would consider. Before it got more popular, it used to be a small amount of members, and it was a lot more informative.
Yes this board is rated G or closer to G, and yes while that may handicap some people's ability to make a point, it isn't a Pro sports board where you should say hey TO sucks, since most of the time TO or his family aren't gonna read that, or care. Here you have families and friends of the individuals, most of whom are high school kids, so there is no reason to try to down or insult kids. It may keep you from having 2 million posts, but I think Jim would rather have 20 posts that are informative and valid opinions instead of having 1000 posts that involve a handful of users saying how something or someone sucks every breath. We try to give the posters here some respect, and as long as they give it back, then problems tend to be limited.
