State of the Union 2018

It's FreeJinger, actually.

GOMI is several rungs below that, and needs to be be burnt to the ground and that part of the internet salted so nothing can grow there ever again.

Nothing can beat Reddit for general wankiness of the posters. I've had people who don't know anything about the Internet Google something and then get side tracked into laughing at what a bunch of ineffable wankers Redditors are.

I dunno, man--GOMI is populated by superannuated middle-school Mean Girls, and there is nothing more vicious on earth than a 13-year-old girl (especially when she's trapped in the body of a 40-year-old). SJWs like to squawk about "toxic masculinity," but if you want to see toxic femininity in action, GOMI is where it's at (by comparison, FreeJinger is a bunch of yentas gossiping away at an endlessly-ongoing kaffee-klatsch).

Reddit at least has individual subs that maintain a reasonably intelligent and civil level of discourse, and you can carve out an island of peace and sanity for yourself if you're determined to do so. But there is no peace or sanity to be found on GOMI.

Look Ma, I'm in a chart!

For real though, as someone who fits pretty much all of these trends, it's really cool to see the growth of the site this way. Thanks for having me and the other new degenerates, here's to another year of cows.

Financial stability? I thought that was just a pipe dream.

If that scares you because of muh eternal summer, rest assured this does not affect our general posting. It takes about 6 months for a lurker to convert to a poster.

How do you know this? Is it just based on visitors vs account numbers?

what are those spikes mid march and mid june? i forget if my joining was tied to an event, maybe dsp.

I think June was when the ResetEra ban bot got big as well. An underrated feature/event imo.

Do we have any data on which sections of the site saw the most activity? Were people coming here more for La Zorra or the Animal Farm, for example? I don't know if that's even possible, but I'd be very curious to hear it if we had any numbers on that. It might help us figure out why we have so many lurkers.

I'm prepared to bet that the Beauty Parlor is pretty high on the list of active subforums, though.

You forgot to mention quality of life stuff that can't easily be captured by stats. I speak specifically of KoP no longer shitting himself in the forums.

We don't have September outbreaks due to new people with access anymore tho, it's just tweens going free range after their year locked up.

6 months to go from lurker to active poster? Took me like an hour to make that transition. That probably says a lot of things

Thanks for keeping this place going, Josh. As weird and uncouth as this site and its users can be, the internet needs a place like this right now; somewhere you can speak your mind and not get banned for wrong think or speaking ill of sacred cows. I mean you'll probably get called a faggot and get some meaningless ratings, but anyone who's been around long enough online knows that's just how it goes.

By the way did we pick up any new posters from (Best) North Korea last year? Maybe Glorious Leader Kim's wife hopped on with him.

This site reminds me of around 2004 internet forums in some ways. If you decided to post something, you'd better have some reasonable arguments or evidence to back your position up because about three autists will climb out of the woodwork to call you out. Reddit doesn't do this since the sheer numbers of uninformed people and the ability to virtually deplatform an opinion that goes against the consensus opinion makes that impossible.

Which is basically how wikipedia operates with a simple consensus of mainstream sources. Even if the articles supplied are nothing more than opinion pieces disguised as news.

GOMI is a dumpster fire of endless power-leveling. Long live the farms!
Also, thanks for the analytics.

Your initial description could also apply to lolcow.farm, especially the parts about endless powerleveling and a majority-female userbase.

Man I hope 2019 is a phenomenal year!
