What turned it around? If you don't mind me asking tbh

poaching from WC tbh and then at the end of 2019 we had a major influx of people who were leaving WF bc of the changes that site made and we've been booming since

 

[Samoa Looch]

Jk... I don't actually know

 

[Chris]

From the beginning of 2019 to the end our active userbase probably legit doubled

 

[Chris]

But we can also just credit me returning to all of that instead

 

[Samoa Looch]

Of course, why not

So, TL/DR: Smark asked me to join and then asked OMB to join, and when OMB (now @Maclin) joined, Smark was banned on WC for reasons that I do not wish to get into atm. Nevertheless, several people who were on WC were already on here and got a little more active over here. HoHo got banned from WC and was also more active here after. I started asking around on WC for anyone interested in joining, which is where guys like Looch came in. WF eventually was sold to a company that fucked shit up and several people were pissed so we openly scalped some guys to join from there. Late 2019-Early 2020 was when our userbase finally came to fruition.

you have no idea how accurate this is actually

 

[Barry Poppins]

But yeah, WS's revival was more just a perfect storm of happenstance, opportunity, and timing.

We've had a few rough patches here and there, but ultimately we're in something of a golden age for the site.
