About six years ago I recruited guys and girls to join here. Nobody posted here. It would be months before there were new threads or reviews. Maybe a mod has the post volume figures from prior years.

After 2-3 years, eccie took over ERAPS but a lot of the Pittsburgh contributors bolted because their prior reviews and posting history were lost in the merger.
So the eccie Pittsburgh forums were largely a ghost town until late 2013, when bambino & friends showed up and started posting outlandish stuff. Bam went on the National Political Forum and made his debut with a thread accusing everyone who joined a whore board to post about politics instead of hofo of being gay!! It was fun watching all the heads explode. That was almost 7 fucking years ago. We've been having fun bashing libtards in that forum ever since.
Anyway, the Pittsburgh forums on eccie started to gain traction around that time. I would say it took a year or so, but eventually they were approaching the same volume as their predecessors on ERAPS and ASPD.
I never posted on Indys. I always found the site clunky and not user-friendly. Fuck the vouches and green card status and all that bullshit. I like a site where you can join, pay for premium, and move on. Glad I missed all the drama on "The Other Site".
