I think the reason for flooding the site with new members is to make it more difficult to spot the real members. There will be traffic at TOS. It's more of a matter of how much and for how long. People will become bored and leave if there are only a few.

What happened to the admin's notion of us being bad for his business? What does he want now? New non-customers?

This might have to do with cellular coverage but about half of the avatars in use are showing up as an empty box. Might be cell coverage. Might be first glitch from traffic. Not sure. Probably former.

Liars...all of you.
I'm outta here, clearly I'm not appreciated. Let's see if you miss me when RTs are needed.

Whoa...MTC. we were talking about you somewhere (maybe the forum thread), and I even grabbed your twitter handle to have it posted so someone who had twitter could contact you. I don't have twitter otherwise I would've done it myself.

He saw you as a threat. You were attempting to drive away customers to his site. If I ran a website and someone did this to me, I'd do the same thing.

I would love if some of you could keep up the fight and help draw away every other regular user of that site by bombarding that now shit hole. And if you get banned with me, so be it.

True story.

I generally like to think that a person or team shows their true form when under immense stress or load. I watched my team at work excel when our product launched and it was amazing. When pushed to the limit they could have easily complained and got upset, but they did the opposite and I am very proud of them.
What we are seeing here with TOS is the opposite of that spectrum and it is very rough to see.

While it is possible that these accounts are being created by TOS to inflate numbers, its also possible that people are being malicious and attempting to create accounts using scripts to do bad things, like scrape content and potentially post/pm users at random. I have seen this a lot on other boards and while it is easy to mitigate, there is sometimes residual shit that makes it through, like the stuff in the member listing.
Not defending TOS, just pointing out observations from days past.

That thread was sad the read, especially Bug.
passive aggressive UCLA prick.
"good game guys, I really mean it, you really super duper had our number today, UCLA is finished"
UCLA goes on 15 pt run

Percy trying to rally the troops.

That just made my day. That might just help to push others away from those forums. In any case those forums are in the past. I really am getting more excited about creating a fan website that is the standard for the rest of the nation to follow, just like our basketball program is becoming. Let's grow with them.

Hilarious coming from the only guy to post there over the past hour. How's that echo, bitch?
Percy's always talked about the secret masses who love his posts, toss him tons of rep, and want him around. Let's see how many of his fans he can convince to stick with him.
