What's The Deal Here?

I mean, it just seems people are disinterested here to talk ball?

Hey Shaker(or do you prefer Spanky?).

It seems the activity has been a little slow today but overall I wouldn't say that people are disinterested to talk ball. There seems to be a mix of posters who have come to fanhome and a group that are making the rounds between various boards. But since we have been back up and running I think we have had some very insightful posts and some meaningful debates.

Considering that fanhome hasn't been back up and running for that long I think we are doing alright. And I expect things to pick up here as we go along.

This forum could probably be contracted and/or combined with scoreboards.com

I'd suggest a Fanhome/Scoreboards merger is a longshot at best.

But yes ... a big reason this board is a bit slow at the moment is that it evolved out of scout, and did so several months after The Scoreboards also evolved out of scout. Those who were looking to leave scout already did several months ago when Scoreboards was founded. Those who weren't looking to leave don't have much motivation to come here. So the people who post here are either people who stumbled across it, or people whose "regular" boards are either Scoreboards or scout, and those people see this board as a secondary or tertiary board.

Give it time. Every new board needs to build its own community.

This place is growing...I think the number of users has probably doubled in the past few weeks, I think it will only get busier.

One contributing factor for its growth was probably people who wanted to find out why the hell we were offering Gil "Freaking" Meche tons of money.

No I'd prefer Shaker cause some of these guys are taking it out of context!!
