    I really like you and hope you stay, but I think you are out a bit in front of the skiis if you think you being here or not is what drives membership.
    FWIW, there are times when I look for Puppy's posts on here and it can sometimes make the difference between posting once a day and five times a day. I know most probably don't share that view. Maybe they're just jealous of being shut out of the higher discussion bored with Bill, Pups, @yobates, @steelheader2 and our Bruin friend @BallSacked.

    The fuck is an mgoblog

    This place isn't generating a whole lot of new members as is. Make the current ones subscribe and have some boards remain free to garner interest in the content.

    Making it subscription based would require a lot of original content and articles, true, but Derek and others are more than capable of generating that stuff

    Top visited Michigan Wolverines site for many years.

    Based on Google search results there should be plenty of traffic here. Likely people don't stick around because they can't get dialed in.

    Paywall is a traffic killer and just like with any other forum based around any other topic the way to make money is via advertising. For which you need page views. For which you need content that can come from the community or from on high.

    This site should aim to be like mgoblog in its earlier days- a robust forum of knowledgeable and sarcastic fans who see through the bullshit of the mainstream media and scout recruiting narratives that are pitched at your average doog. Most of these fans are also hungry for more discerning content and analysis (some just want to hate on everyone else.)

    Brian of mgoblog made a lot of money and never held any fundraisers. However he also put out a lot of original content including analyzing every play of every game and assigning +/- to every player involved.

    No shit?

    A lot of people forget shaggybevo and tigerdroppings have more success because people actual still care about those programs. Unlike the cluster fuck we've seen unfold at UW where relative few people give a shit anymore.

    They've also been around many more years than we have. I'm not worried about comparing ourselves to them just yet. I look up to them as a version of what we want to become.
