I'm active! I demand a recount!
Also, I vote we get rid of the Dan 3.0 section. This is not a Dan Brown fan club.

I have to disagree with you on so much of that. SPOTM was not made for D3P0. It was made when D3P0 was just a wee thought. Also, we are not "waiting for Dan". He gave up long ago and we've accepted that. We're just kinda having fun now. At least I am

alex - fix'd Insane_Zang - when I joined, that was the general message Dan had in his argument for joining the forum - also, I know we're not waiting for Dan - but we still call ourselves the Pogotribe, we still talk about Dan a lot, we still have the D3P0 section - on the outside looking in, we still resemble a Dan Brown fanclub

I moved for getting rid of the section months ago. I call use SPOTM, not the Pogotribe. We talk about Dan as a joke and a remembrance of how we got here.

So, really - my posting this is just another reminder to people *cough*radicallyBlue*uncough* to get rid of that damn section - it's really all I was trying to say - but in a condescending, passive-aggressive way

Also, the D3P0 admins have a section here. It's hidden, even to me. Just thought I should point that out

youre beating a dead and decomposed horse. face it, SPOTM is dead. it will remain dead. it has been in a state of decline for quite a few months and has been dead since dan 3.0. give up. it really isnt worth the time and effort...trust me.

I was going to post about how this wasn't made for Dan 3.0 and how we are not waiting for Dan (or at least I'm not), but Zang already did that ... so yeah.

K Bomb, if you really feel it's a lost cause, keep in mind that no one's forcing you to stick around. Believe it or not, some of us feel like this is a community worth carrying on with and trying to rebuild. And frankly, I think you're just plain wrong on it not being worth the time and effort. I like Aust's idea, and I think it actually goes inline with the spirit of this forum's initial intentions. (It was BASICALLY just a plan to build a community around a given context, and...Well, just see what happens.) So I think re-building and making it our own is entirely within reason. So then that means we're just at the beginning again, not dead. Everything starts small. Hell, I spent 6 months talking to literally less than 10 subs on YouTube - But alas, patience is a virtue! So the next step is to actually figure out how to build the moon back up again. We no longer have any YouTube partners, and I'm pretty sure that the SPOTM member who gets the most attention on YouTube is MindOutrage (almost 1000subs)...But I'm not even sure he's still around these parts. But we also have Rob too. ANYWAYS my point is about the only thing we CAN do right now is branch out to people we already know. It's a small start, but it's still a start. So it wouldn't require anything huge, I'm talking casual plugs on your vlogs, and sending out invites to all of your friends on facebook, twitter, IRL, etc. I'm game. Anyone else in? In context, I'm talking about making SPOTM our own. I know some people want to proactively REVOLT against Dan, but keep in mind that he still OWNS this forum and site. Just be happy he's given us the tools so that we CAN run this community in a rather independent manner.

Even if he dumped us, Dan started this forum, and he'll always have to do something with it.
As Rob (Are you Rob or Ron? I thought we had already settled on that, but I don't remember.) said, we should focus on making this place our own, and not take revenge with Dan. He initially stated that he wanted the project to continue without him, but to do that, he should hand us all the administrative part of the forum (although I think he already did to Rob), so we may continue with or without him. We don't want another southpoleofthemoon.com problem like some months ago, and not because it was particularly disastrous, but because it showed us that we still depend on someone who left the place a long time ago.
We need to get this place up and running again. This has been stated many times before, but honestly, no one has taken matters into their hands.
EDIT (my browser is acting up): For example, most of the people I know (actually, everybody), don't even know what an Internet forum is. The internet for them is only Facebook and Twitter, and there's no going out of that. I, for one, can't help by recommending the site to my friends, because frankly, they don't care at all. Trust me. I've tried.
