Mods Asleep Let's Spampost

Tristan_Geoff · 10-11-2023, 12:15 AM

This thread is about the post-apocalyptic state of musicbanter at the moment. It is very clearly a ghost town as everyone moved forums.

so this thread is also to say hi, if you are here still, what are you doing checking this site still?

curious, as I still do too, but besides the occasional introduction thread and the far more common spambot post, this place is pretty much far gone.

It's not gone yet, for at least two reasons.

One is that it still has the eyeballs of most if not all of the users of the new forum, which defines itself in opposition to MB (in the interests of bonhomie, let's refrain from comment on whether anxiety about activity on a rival online message board is or isn't laughable in persons over the age of 14).

The other is its digital footprint, which remains considerable. SEO baby. You can't find the new forum via google, you can only go through MB. So MB's potential for recruiting new users is greater by orders of magnitude than that of the new forum.

Btw are there other sites where the MB regulars have migrated?

I gave a nice heartfelt farewell in the mod cave only to find myself still checking in like a f*cking goof so I guess I'm still here lurking.
