Why is it???

[bella23]

That I see so many people at the shows and things but I dont see that many posts on here except reviews of the shows??? I love anarchy and wish more people would get behind them, as far as Im concerned this message board should be off the chain with all the great talent they have, so what the problem?

[elmyra]

What do you mean? As in.. why dont more people post, fan wise? Or why aren't any of the talent signed up and using the message board to connect with fans?

its been pretty dead here. I see what u mean. come on people!! Let's get some discussions going

[elmyra]

The fans at Anarchy aren't much for being "internet fans." They see it live and that seems to be enough for them. Even on the old board, there werent many posts and discussions from the fans that sit in the crowd. Anarchy doesnt have much of a "message board crowd." They're pretty content with just seeing the shows and being friends with their favorite wrestlers on MySpace.

i mean discussion wise and talent if they have something to say they should say it

Elmyra hit it pretty well I think.

Even back to the Wildside days, the ratio of board posters to attendees was fairly low, although I don't know that it's really any less than virtually all other promotions either.

To be honest, most promotions have very little discussion on their messageboards. In some cases, I come across more spam ads than actual posts.

Do the math ... if each person who posted read the thread after each post prior to your quote (1 original + 7 replies) that accounts for over half the "reads" right there. Figure maybe a few clicks from admins and staff/talent and such, then you're left looking for maybe 30 views unaccounted for. A few of those are likely incidental clicks by people just clearing the "unread posts" designation off the thread, so the number of those who have actually read the thread but didn't post is probably somewhere around a dozen. Figure a few lurkers and a few who simply didn't find the subject compelling or just didn't have an opinion they cared to share.

Come to think of it, I'd say getting somewhere around 1/3rd of the people who looked at the thread to post in it is actually pretty good.

You might also tribute the number of views of the topic to being that each time you enter to read the new posts you add another view to it. I usually just get on and read the results because there is no posting going on and what there is, I usually don't need to add anything.

And I enjoy being able to log in and read the results, as I can't get up to the arena that often, usually three or so times a year now, thanks a lot $3 gas. :/
