Back when TCS was posting their links and other crap on TR and trying to drive away TR readers,
TCS had suggested that I should quit posting.
I at that time, INCREASED my number of posts....sometimes over 20+ per day.
TR membership rose from 102,000 to almost 109,000. The most number of readers that TCS ever had was 90 and that was on their opening day.
When TCS quit posting on their OWN site, (taking their own advice to quit posting...and quit typing) their number of readers dropped and eventually
1. TCS had no one posting. With no new content for readers to look forward to,
2. people quit reading that site, and
3. TCS views dropped , then without views,
4. NO ONE went to TCS.... and when advertisers left,
5. TCS went out of business.
It may be that advertisers leave when readers are driven away. from a business.

Deleting our number one most popular thread, (the one where I had posted the email scams to watch out for) will first have the effect of loss of readers.
The people who had subscribed to it can no longer find it and cannot read it any more and already I can see the number of people coming to TR has decreased.
Maybe we are about to see if deleting content will increase our readers.
1. I don't think deleting content will increase readers coming to TR.

As a side note:
2. Changing smoothblacksrt from "banned" to "TR bala donor supreme" (which he never was) under his name was a bad move by someone and shows that someone endorses and approves his actions. Maybe we are about to see if endorsing bad behavior will increase our readers coming to TR.
I don't think endorsing bad behavior will increase readers coming to TR.

Tim, you and I both know why number of "members" signing on has increased......... However,
This morning instead of 200+ people "online" reading at TR, it was 53.
Maybe we can watch the numbers of "online" readers for a few days.......while someone thinks about reinstating TR's most popular thread.
