I am a former BF poster who got tired of it and left. If they expect that place to pick up again they are going to need more than a degenerate meth head tranny and an overweight drama queen as mods. By the looks of it BF has been around for like five years and it's all but dead in terms of activity and content at best. Here's some observations/suggestions:
1. Too many board choices that people do not use. The entertainment section gets like two posts a day! There are no great threads that can be put in there.
2. There is absolutely no rhyme of reason to mod decisions within the boards. There's too many to mention but undiciplined mids move them around at will. The reason for this again is poor choice of mods. Mods should encourage discussion. The mods at BF are dicussion killers.
4. You may as well call that place: The Bastard Factory Butthurt Whining and Troll Board. There is an extensive choice of boards but only accommodates those who like whining and fighting are posting at all.
5. Politcs should be one of the most popular boards on any forum. That place has been around for half a decade and there is only a handful of threads in it for Christ's sake. All of them are spammed to death with memes.
6. All threads on all forums should be visible at all times to guests. They will make the forum look inviting and attractive to members looking to join.
That is a forum with a terrible staff. Show some pride in that place and get it hopping or it will never change for the better. I promise you.
But will he listen. That is the question.

Nevermind. I just noticed the edited words.

I don't know. Perhaps another unsatisfied customer that decided to post at another forum or not all. I hear that forum has lots of unhappy ex posters.

Suit yourself. I haven't registered to BF yet but clearly you choose not to believe me. Can't help that. I'm sure this place will be the hottest forum on the web very soon.

Honestly, forums such as these are a dying breed.
The modern internet user seems to enjoy the vapidness and thoughtlessness encouraged at places which have
no attention span required posted in shiny font right there on the front door.
I don't think we're going to grow the membership all that much no matter what we did.
I read your thread of suggestions and remain unconvinced.
Change my mind.

Wait.. OP... you don't find an entire page worth of threads littering politics section with everything from Hating Trump - TO - Hating Trump to be diverse and varied enough to stimulate those interesting debates the PIG keeps squealing about but never actually engages in?

None of these types of general forums can grow all that much. We try our best to hold on to the members we have. Panel abuse and banning members arbitrarily is suicidal in 2023.

I hear you and I appreciate the time it took to compose all of that. Great effort, but despite such a well worded and thought out plan I still remain skeptical that we can attract a legion of fresh blood out there in the vastness of Al Gore's internet.
Its a new age my man/woman. Social media apps killed the playing field just like cloud computing will kill small business and the technology field. Mark my words

We cannot and as we can see from BF which has everything on his wishlist, neither can they. VF and CBT are in the same boat.

I'd agree on BF
but VF and CBT are utter clusterfucks in terms of usability and feature richness. More-soI CBT
I wouldn't become a regular poster at CBT if you paid me to do so

See? There you go again with baseless accusations. I haven't registered on Bastard Factory but it's not hard to tell who runs that place and I'm not him or her. Why the hell would I join here and try to help if I'm the owner of another forum altogether? What could I possibly have to gain by that? Just give me an honest answer man. Just be a man and give it to me straight.

He cares too. He pays for it.
I just think he's made peace with the facts.
But hey, if you believe you can drum up interest have a run at it. If you need any support in such an endeavor technology, or otherwise, my PM box is open.

He's been a member here over 10 years before taking over ownership. He's seen the steady decline, petty feuds, poster apathy, clicks, moberation .. you name it
I have too.
I think we've all seen the major shift in the ways online access is conducted with this new generation of user being far more opt to a quick 20 second brain fart as opposed to actual discussion. On any topic.
See that asshole admong's posting history for a prime example of what I am referring to.
He's someone I wish we could ditch off of these forums onto a social media shitshow like Twitter for good. Drag Oak with him too

It's a term of endearment given to him after years of unwavering dedication to being the biggest fuckwit drooling spastic degenerate cocksucker of any of the forums we've posted at
Bar none.
His real handle is Admin. a.k.a apeman a.k.a the cock fairy.
Think of the dumbest person you've ever met.
let's use seamajor in this instance. Extract his brains out of his sloped skull with a teaspoon, put them in a blender, purify them and feed the result to a hippopotamus or something equally nasty and wild like Lily.
Wait about 2 days until this animal shits it back out. Then take the contents and stuff it back into seamajors sloping and funny looking skull and you will have an individual who REMAINS qualified to outwit that gibbering geriatric dork by a country mile.
That piece of shit owner of BF should do a youtube tutorial on how to implode a forum in less than sixty days.

Because the owner of BF is a piece of shit. His forum deserves the tumbleweed blowing around.

Yep, Admin and Lily need to fuck off out of Flame town and the other monkey, I won't write his name.
Or, and this might be a better solution at BF, well from my stance at least, bar those posters from using the flame section. Lily is grossly ignorant how that section should be used, and so are the others over there.

I went there yesterday and apparently Bastard Factory backed Lily's decision to tell you to stop posting memes and videos in your own thread.
WHAT ABOUT fat slug's propensity to bury content with her never ending bickering. You see, I see hers and her ilk burying good content with 3 or 4 pages of spam after good content. That is a problem for progress in the political section at BF. Biggie also contributed to stringing them along so he wasn't entirely innocent.

I prefer writing it out the open. I have adminned plenty of places and there is nothing worse than being held up in PM. I will infrequently PM an admin BUT it isn't to complain.
The best thing for BF to do is shove a grenade up his ass and pull the pin, exploding his asshole all over aidsmans face.

I suspect that will be an eventuality as BF has effectively dynamited his forum. Aidsfaggit is already sniffing around here. Just gotta manage their bullshit.
I guarantee you spicoak wants to come have a good cry over here too. There's also penis' here not giving the fat white whale attention so that cow wants in too.
Not one of them ate up fucktards can resist trying to spread their mental disease wherever CONservatives gather. I can prove it too. Lemon was a semi-regular at FRW's site. He'd let her in and she'd act a fool and get banned. I'll admit though, it was fun. Lemon was the least mentally deranged liberal I ever met....although she was still a loon.

I had an old thread I occasionally bumped called "Leftist racism failing as always" (or something like that) and whenever I found examples of left wing people being racist, supporting racism, or promoting racism I documented it there. Pig hated that thread because it destroyed the lying narrative the left has for itself. She claimed posting on topic examples of what the thread was supposed to be about was "spam" and she would ban if I posted them.
Meanwhile she and Flynn literally posted 4-5 pages of off topic spam in that thread trying to derail it in what was supposed to be a moderated on topic forum.
Fuck that and fuck them.

Of course he can. And the community reacted how exactly? Got up and relocated to a less shitty pasture? It rather looks to me like any "problem" got solved to the community's contentment and with only a few remnants of the problem chasing after it crying "wait for meeeeeee...."
You aren't waiting for him, you've lost virtually nothing that was worth preserving. If the wankers that were the root of the problem wanted, they could try fixing their act up in the hope of making themselves less unpopular, but you're not expecting it and you therefore won't be disappointed when they don't.
I'd call that a Win.
