Your traffic is down. Significantly.

If you are happy to see the site doing badly, what do you post here for?

Actually, a quick check of your post history answers that.

Never mind.

I suggest this thread is moved.

The PnP RPG page is already cluttered up with enough things that are only tangentially related to actual RPGs.  This bullshit isn't helping.

I blame Mearls for jumping on the politicizing a hobby trainwreck and getting everyone mixed in with it.

More members would be a good thing, but RPGPundit doesn't run the forum as a business, like RPG.net, BGG or ENworld. If he invested in advertising and marketing, I expect we would see a significant uptick, but that's harder with organic growth. Also, G+ has made forums less popular, even though I personally don't see the major draw of G+

Your traffic is down. Significantly.

Traffic might not equal users though, since similarweb says 77% of traffic is via search engine results, ie not registered users. Locking Pundit's Forum to search would in itself hit this traffic.

Closed. And Monk, consider this your one and only warning. This thread constitutes Site Disruption, off-topic posting, and stalking (a hatrick of offenses).  I should probably just ban you right now since you're inevitably going to keep on going with this.

Final post as an FYI. Sites like that mean nothing, since most of their bots are blocked here.
