World's Longest Thread Contest
Recently another webmaster board has a "World's Longest Thread Contest" which produced around 35K posts in just under 6 days. To us, this seems like a waste of space, time, energy & most of all, a bull shit attempt to inflate the boards total posts. Jim & I would never lower ourselves to this level & to be quite honest, there's no need for us to do it either. Our board totals speak for themselves & that's almost 99.44% due to you, our fellow webmasters. We will never beg or bribe anyone to post on our board & we pride ourselves on that. Sure, if you get 1000 posts we're gonna send you a $12.99 Buddy Christ dashboard figure, but if you're that hard up for the gift, it might be time to rethink your life choices

A fundamental misunderstanding of a new communication medium. GFY is in the business of attracting eyeballs.
I believe that as bulletin board technology increases, these boards will present a very real threat to established media organizations.
