lowtax speaks!

the guy behind something awful recently went to a college and talked about how to run a successful site and, more specifically, how to run a successful forum community.

it's funny and informative and everyone should watch it:

Hmm, should definitely be an interesting watch..but, an hour and a half..is it really worth that much time Colin?

[GT2000]

"...and most sites have to beg their readers to click just to pay the server bill", well said...

[thecreeper]

i'll definitely check this out later. sounds interesting.

[GT2000]

So yeah..basically so far he's just bashing on the other forums in a top 10 list..and going over his previous experiences for failed dot coms.

[GT2000]

Damn, I see so much of TTT in his talking...

E) TTT = death.

I also forgot...

F) Stagnation = TTT.

it's fully worth the hour and a half of time it takes to watch it. i love SA and their humor, especially lowtax's shit... and since he hasn't been writing anything on the front page lately, this is the best i'm getting.

I actually kinda watched most of it, half-assed paying attention I guess you could say, some insightful stuff...most of which I've already discovered as...well, I've run TTT for 5 years, and it's been a miserable failure..heh, stagnation for one, running the site for the members.. (hey, did I ever close it? no...), crappy ads...never had those, google ads are far from it, never did pop-ups...

The funniest part in there was when they started talking about veterans vs. newbies...that had TTT written all over it...you know who you are.
