Nevermind that I'd have to deal with his crazy, lovely opinions and his possibly mentally ill mother who thinks putting her minor child's name on TPC in an effort to... taunt all of us I guess(?) was a good idea.

I love how they're all trying to be patriotic by choosing 1776 as their birthday, but then gently caress it all up by picking January 1st as the date. Instead of commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence - as they're obviously trying to do - they're instead commemorating the burning of Norfolk by the British Navy.

I'd think they'd pick December 13, 1773 if anything as a date considering the name and all.

Ok. I tried to make an account. I had zero friends and literally, all I said was, "Hi, my name is Smoking Crow from the land of trolls, Something Awful. You can ask me any question you like and I will answer them to the best of my ability." That's it. Thirty seconds after posting that, I was banned. I must have the world record or something.

Because goons are people who would murder your family and are payed to ruin TPC. If you even act like you know something about SA they usually start blocking you. The account Ask A Liberal did something similar, I think it got banned a bunch of times before they let it stay for awhile?

etalian posted:So it's pretty much the classic insta-hype signup but the community has no long term legs? February is also about when the forums discovered it. It's kind of funny that they hate us and yet thanks to us they have over 100,000 members (they count banned accounts as members) and any sort of publicity or traffic. There aren't that many legitimate users on that site any more and with the increasing amounts of paranoia, they've been driving away legitimate accounts. Pretty soon it's going to be just the regulars that are always posted here plus the moderators. It pretty much is that but there are a few stragglers. Edit: The OP of the first thread is from Feb. 2nd which aligns with the graph of traffic almost perfectly.

My bet is: Spike 1 (small): TPC goes live. Spike 2 (huge): SA discovers TPC. Spike 3 (small): TPC discovers SA, SA discovers Stealthy Everything thereafter: heat death due to IP bans. The time frames pretty much match up perfectly and it's really telling and really sad when your sites biggest spike in traffic is from another site goatbombing you.

I like to believe that within a year TPC will have eaten its own kind to the point where its an echo chamber in an echo chamber - basically 500 ultra-racist, ultra-crazy people posting the same stuff day in and day out with 499 people liking and sharing the same thing over and over.

romeo x-ray posted:Change 'will' to 'has' and 'already', and yep, looks like it. You're probably right, now that I think of it. I'd forgotten about the media attention (though I'd wager they probably didn't get much traffic (of the non-troll variety anyway) from HuffPo  ) Looks like the spike starts around January 31st, which is when it ran on Fox. I still think the smaller spike AFTER the big spike is us discovering easy to use proxies. TPC getting tons of hits from Russia, Mexico, Croatia and wherever else our proxies were located as we burned through accounts would probably serve to artificially inflate the website traffic a bit.The steep dropoff has to be when they started IP banning, though, combined with us driving away a lot of their members by spamming the goat man. We started having to use proxies after they started using IP bans, so that accounts for both the steep drop off (along with shock images) and the small spike (unless anyone else has another theory). I recall a bunch of legit TPC members getting extremely pissed off to find out they'd been banned due to the genius idea to ban IP ranges.

What's probably going to happen is just that nobody will be able to access it because so many IPs are banned. I feel like we probably already outnumber them on the site, and we're much more widespread geographically, not to mention the fact that we're going through proxies and getting all sorts of places banned that way.

What I'd love to know is if anyone has a ballpark guesstimate on how many accounts SA as a whole has burned through. Their site claims 100,000+ members, we know they count banned accounts, we know that there's no way there's even REMOTELY close to that many real members and we know that parodists probably outnumber real people there now. I think Tim's gotta be cooking the books a little. There's no way we've registered the bulk of 100k accounts and we know from observation that there aren't thousands of active, real members. Just for shits and giggles, I've personally gone through probably 40 accounts in the 2 months we've been trolling them if you include deep cover, goatbombing and re-regging various gimmicks under a different throwaway email address (I regged DeShawn Jones at least half a dozen times after he'd get banned for posting while black). How many is everyone else up to?
