That's actually a good point.

Just to be clear, I never said OffTopic was a better board, just bigger, but The Cellar has "personality", and I think, well...golly gee whilikers...that's swell.

Horses for courses (and I don't just mean the French)
I like the Cellar way of doing things. I do drop in on larger forums but more in the persona of long term member, occasional poster. They're usually based around a specific topic and I don't share any of my life there.

And sometimes I read very cliquey forums, with a ridiculous amount of in-jokes.
I read there because some of the posts are very funny, but I couldn't be bothered to learn all the rules in order to be part of them. They're as rigid as Regency England and the bon ton.

Rhianne · 08-02-2012, 06:52 AM

There are other forums?

ZenGum · 08-02-2012, 07:00 AM

I hope this doesn't make us famous. I don't want to be mainstream.

Although, it would be kind of cool to be at a party where a dozen people are raving about The Cellar, and wait until they pause and say, Oh, yeah, I was in the cellar when it was still ... [don sunglasses] ... underground.

Yes, but the ultimate 'hipster' statement (if I can believe everything I've learned from internet memes) would be to say,
"Oh, I hang out at a little forum called the Cellar, you've probably never heard of it."

Yeah, we're a good size, and a good community. But it would be nice if we could get some real new members in here every once in a while. (Spammers and trolls need not apply.)

ZenGum · 08-02-2012, 08:56 AM

I was thinking that recently - been ages since we had a good genuine noob. I was going to mention Orthodoc; she's kinda new post-count wise, but she's been here longer than me. Now that's underground.

Undertoad · 08-02-2012, 10:54 AM

Maybe we should start a few bots on other forums? We could find a porno pic of a young girl and claim to be her.

Elpole · 08-02-2012, 10:57 AM

Yes, let's do that.

Or we could all post with a bunch of sockpuppets and create the illusion of higher active membership?

HugeC · 08-02-2012, 10:58 AM

That'll never work, dumbass

The CIA · 08-02-2012, 10:58 AM

Will so

JBKlycle · 08-02-2012, 10:59 AM

Not if you keep using socks that look like other users, idiot.
