I actually don't mind either way but it makes things way easier.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I'm fairly sure I was always in the pro-post count camp.

Word Games is whatever, it's an institution from the old days of forum spam.

I'm pretty sure inflating the post counts help for Google analytics anyway lmao

I know making more threads does, I've tested it when I started doing them for stuff like Power and level up, we were showing up on Google when searching the show name and date bc there was very few other results

 

[Chris]

Probs a bad example bc I don't do those anymore since I stopped watching them but still lol

We went from Page 5 to like Page 2 in the span of a year and half, so yeah I believe so.

After tracking down Twitchy’s personal information, it took weeks to make the sale happen. Once I was able to acquire access, I opened it back up immediately, but only Deezy, Dab and Cwalker really wanted to stay for the longest time. There were a few others that came on occasionally, but it was those 3 that kept WS alive for a few years. Even with merging WP/Punks/Pulse here, most of those guys stayed with or went back to WC until were able to rebuild this place and get the trust back.

At least on Google searchbars.

we're second when you Google "wrestling forum" now and weren't when the chats started so I'd say yes but hard to say for sure

2019 was definitely the turning point though I'd say. All the fortunate stuff started happening and the rebuild began in proper.

Decided what posts count and don’t was just an old school thinking from back when message board were more popular and cluttered and had more people spamming to get certain perks. Once that was established as the norm, it took forever to realize post counts weren’t a big deal.
