In my honest opinion the award should come back ASAP. If you have a resource like HF at your disposal it's completely illogical not to use it.
I know what kind of traffic it USED to receive yes, that stat is irrelevant to my post though, I was on the topic of mainly content and in relationship to Google SEO.

No lol, that's not at all the way traffic works...
The main reason he got traffic here in the first place was due to his SF feather, I hadn't seen hardly any new member come here post an introduction and not say that they were from HF. And i've been considerably one of the most active users here to envy that, by far over the past year. My activity here now has died down because I have my own forum of course, but I had seen the transitions in realtime on this forum. You mainly only come here to promote your forum, and have been doing that for quite a long time, so your post on this topic here I take with a grain of salt. Many people have an idea of what goes on here, including Omni, but he's too busy on HF to really notice what goes on. I used to be here more than he was online everyday for quite a few months.
Quote:SF never has been a HF puppet
It always has been since he had that SF feather around, had you not seen Omni admittedly post in this thread himself saying that this site has taken a significant hit to traffic loss after the removal of just that one award? Surely by god you can figure out, evidently, what the true influence was for traffic in the past? Considering the size of HF too, I couldn't doubt it even if he didn't come here and post in this thread.
Quote:Omniscient made sure of that
Perhaps by the rules here, but that's irrelevant to what i'm talking about. I'm talking about SEO, content, traffic; activity in general.

Are you here to think for yourself or believe the upper authority here? Because I speak my non-biased mind all the time, and i'm doing it even now with evidence to support myself, where is your evidence? I'm not here to cater to anyone just because of their rank on this forum, whether that's what you're doing right now and I shouldn't bother with trying to inform you or not--You find a few threads for me here of the nature of a guide or a tutorial, and lets see if we can't find out that it was a copy and paste from HF. I can guarantee you that you'll find more that are than those that are not. Try sneaking the word 'unique' into the sentence again after seeing the evidence first hand. (There's a few unique ones here from the dedicated users on SF, but more often than not, they are not unique. This is because the motivation of HF users that used to come here was not to support HF intently, but to only get their award.)

It wasn't because this forum grew on it's own, it grew under the influence of a larger forum; HF. Which is what i'm trying to say here.

This is crystal clear proof that you've been hiding in the dark the whole time you've been a member here, the 'dark' being namely that of your "MarketForums" thread, and your "WWEForums" thread now that the other has gone away... I don't see a need for myself to convince anything to you here, you just haven't been around to make sense of things on your own, whether I tell them to you, or you put the pieces of this puzzle together on your own, you're more clueless here than you realize.
"The award doesn't necessarily mean the site will only contain LQ posts" - It doesn't, but when HF users come here and want their award, why would they waste time trying to get it over the course of a month? When they realize they could, oh say, maybe spam for it?
Have you not at all noticed the reasons for the bans on SF? Tell me the #1 cause? "LQP"
After a while the moderators, other staff and admin, definitely got tired of banning everybody though so things slowed down, on those notes, and came to pretty much a complete stop when the award was removed. After they became more resilient to ban LQP'ers and lowered the standards for posting, the site definitely got swarmed with lots of LQP's with people saying "thanks for share man toshorttoshort" on threads that were asking for assistance. Shows you how much time HF spammers for the award took to post here for that 100 post goal. (Back in those days you had to have been blind if you did not see it.)
Quote:In my honest opinion the award should come back ASAP
I think you only want the traffic back so it can be redirected for your own benefit to WWEForums (regardless of how much activity your forum currently has), and whether you care about SF or not, it's the only plausible reason for yourself making obnoxious accusations that I would classify as misinformation here.
Quote:If you have a resource like HF at your disposal it's completely illogical not to use it.
It can be a strategy, I'm not and never did say it was not, but not in the way he used it to this site's 'advantage', otherwise better or more strict guidelines should have taken place, to not only benefit the traffic here but the content as well (as in a greater ratio of HQP:LQP). I can't say I have the solution for that, but it failed in every way except traffic here last time. More LQ content, and more threads complaining about the LQ content from users all the time; not good content to show google at all, a complaint forum?
I know you're one to argue, but you're wrong in every way you look at it on belhalf of this last post of yours...
