RJ community seems like its fading

[Hammer]

There would be 30-50 new posts a day not too long ago, this being the height of baseball season. The community seems to be dwindling and I dont think its because of the move as it was thinning out prior to the move.


Sad to see.

i'll go bump the Moonlight J thread if it will help.

[revo]

I miss the non-sensical Papa Deuce threads.

[Moonlight J]

Some of this is a residual effect of the domain bungling that we're stuck with as well

I'm seeing some new registrations of people that have been longtime contributors of late so that should help.

I don't think it's the move. It's been like that the last year or two unless you count Papa Deuce and SharpTalons posts (which I don't)

yea, that stuff was for entertainment purposes. I miss the baseball content we used to get a lot of. Now, not so much.

I think there's no real way to advertise its presence to potential new posters. FBGs has a huge membership base and uses its board as the center of its site. Other boards, like the one I showed to Jason (the Mike Francesa board), have a devoted following of its show.

Fanball should've used its site to tie in with RJ, but they never did -- one wonders why the heck they bought it in the first place. Any other sites out there that could be tied in with RJ?

a lot of our top content guys have been snapped up, I think that has had an impact......

thats part of it but Revo is right. How do new people find out about this place , other than word of mouth? There needs to be a tie in to a strong baseball website.

I'll see what I can do about getting a link to our forum up on the lemon party site

I wondered that they whole time we were under the Fanball umbrella. We never saw an influx of membership and I never saw Fanball promote RJ.

Yes, it was a source of frustration for me -- the higher ups just never got it all.

I've been trying to push it on Twitter when good threads are happening and linking to it in the BP articles (can't do it at rotowire as it's a conflict of interest).

Well and how often is B-Fly around these days?

Frankly, I'm not sure the fanball higher ups ever got anything - not just RJ. Just saying.
