    Here is what I don't understand about all the CB castoffs: They come over here, say, "Hmm, nice little board", maybe whine about the format a bit (which always cracks me up because VBulletin is probably the single most popular board forum on the planet whereas CB is completely unique and proprietary), whine about Jefe and how he runs CB, then never come back.

    I don't get it. If they really don't like how Jefe runs his board, why do they keep crawling back time after time to lick his jackboots?

    I do understand the complaint about low traffic on this board. The problem is that a large percentage of the board's content is unavailable to newcomers. The hidden content is very much a double-edge sword because it gives the impression to newcomers that this board is less active than it is, but it's also nice to have a (mostly) weirdo-free and lurker-free area to post. The hidden content is both this board's blessing and curse.

      Dude, I don't think you're supposed to talk about that stuff on the open board.

        If you want newcomers to stay, bit they can't see the 'good' stuff, maybe you need to give us the secret password sooner or something.

            I'm hardly a newcomer. I'm a sporadic poster to be sure, but I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

              uh, that's because he isn't supposed to talk about it. but he's a big fat meanie, so he pulls shit like that.

                I don't believe the existence of the hidden content is a secret - only the content of the hidden content...

                      Newcomers generally get the secret password once they prove they aren't complete douchenozzles and have something to contribute to the board.

                      Like I said, it's both a blessing (preventing trashy neighbors from walking in your front door, sitting in their underwear on your couch, and getting greasy potato chip crumbs all over your hardwood floors) and a curse (your long-lost friend who happened to be in town and drove by your house might think nobody is home because the upstairs lights are off while you're down in the rec room with your other buddies watching the game and shooting pool).

                      Life is full of tradeoffs...
