September 13, 200520 yr It was just pointed out to me that Soxtalk has over 860,000 posts and the other major Sox board, the grandparent wsi, has 836,706. I think the third has a thousand by now, but they will grow. Combined, that is a whole lot of devoted White Sox fans getting together. Plenty of room in the Hotel for fans of all stripes.
September 13, 200520 yr We're at a measly 40k. Nice to see people appreciate the fact that there are 3 independant Sox boards. Some teams not named the Boston Red Sox can't claim that.

September 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(Hermanson32 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) This place treats members way better than WSI anyways. Cheers to Soxtalk! No wonder why we're growing faster.

By the way, I forgot to make a 3 year birthday post for Soxtalk about a month ago, lol. Well I think its been 3 years now. Out of curiosity how did you find that out? Big-Boards.com, it takes every board with 500,000(Edit: missed a 0 in there, should be 500,000) or more posts and ranks them. There's plenty more categories that I didn't list if you want to check it out. Also, theres a way to make a profile for Soxtalk on there as well if you want.

September 13, 200520 yr I should add, I only expect those stats to continue to grow. This board gets bigger and better everyday. Its had a few downturns, but its kind of like the stock market, it comes out of everydown turn a little bit better and it will continue to get better thanks to all the awesome people that frequent this site. Every single person I've met via this site at a Sox game is pretty cool. That will change if we ever meet Heads, but hey, someone was gonna have to ruin that streak Props go to all the members here for being great, welcoming posters and for telling their friends about this place. We've never went around and marketed this place and its always been built on word of mouth. As Hawk would say....SOXTALK YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I've tried to update some stuff on big-boards but it won't accept.
September 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) 63rd when going by post/member ratio i think this is the most impressive stat, it shows just how tight knit a group we are. and i'm willing to bet that number would be a hella lot higher if we got rid of all the dead weight names.
September 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Have you guys ever thought about delteting names if the poster doesnt make a post in like 6 months? It would drastically put down the member rate, maby the most important thing to look for in a message board. Edited September 13, 200520 yr by Buehrle>Wood

Meaningless facts of the day. Wow. To be honest I am shocked. I would have NEVER guessed that we ranked that high in those categories. To be the 147th most visited message board around is really surprising to me, because honestly in the big big scheme of things who are we? We have made no efforts to advertise or spam to attract new members, and yet here we stand 100th of all message boards in # of people visiting daily. That's a pretty incredible statement when you take into account that Soxtalk is all word of mouth, which is a testimony to the membership here. to all of you guys, you deserve it. All of those stats are directly because of you. QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) Have you guys ever thought about delteting names if the poster doesnt make a post in like 6 months? We thought about it, but I know for a fact there is a small contingent of lurkers who would lose their names on here, and we don't want that. In the past we have made efforts to erase duplicate names, and to delete obvious trolls, but in general we just leave well enough alone.
