It's almost getting time for my quad-monthly assesment of Us vs DN...

Sweet! I love those things. There's nothing wrong with actual proof that the "official" Dune forums are a wasteland, both intellectually and in terms of use.

You should subtract whatever posts I have there.

With which account? And why?

I'll maybe do both with and without your new account, but that still won't really show what their posts would have been without you, because you've caused overall posting to increase there pretty dramatically since you re-joined, even just me causually popping over there once in a while I can see far far far more up to date threads and such.

But we've gained three members in the last week, including a cute redhead. So I guess it evens out.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I did enjoy popping over there before and seeing only 1 thread with a new post per week kind of thing, butnew members are important to have here, or else this place would slow down.

oh, hell no ....

I didn't get to "subtract" all the DWIs I got while high on prescription meds ....

now, I will accept a dual-comparison, Us vs Them in total numbers,
and Us vs Them Minus Freak to evaluate just what kind of traffic
increase the Naib of Jacurutu has caused Over There ....
(subtract also then the responses Freak generated as well ...)
{which sounds like waaayyyy too much work and time spent reading Merrit's board ....}

You're right, it's too much of a hassle. I think it more than evens out, the recent new members here seem to have been more active here than there since joining.

To me that makes it worth while.

[A Thing of Eternity]

The new members do seem pretty great. The real problem is that DN isn't really getting any more real members these days (people that actually post) so there isn't many to funnel over here, and we're still hard to find.

Honestly, I don't care much how good they do, I'd couldn't care less if they were on par with us, but I'm with you, I want to see this place improve consistantly.

You know it's maddening that I hardly ever meet people of my age interested in Dune or even know of it beyond the movies. :bleh:
But if this is the only strong hold left to keep the authenticity of the Dune novels as a literary art intact and appreciated, then we must be doing our job.

The new members have been great. I hope the flow continues. Their are handful of Dune fan pages on Facebook, one has a few thousand members. It is heterogeneous Dune, but everything is kept civil for the most part, I dont know how many have come from there. I havent posted there in a bit, I will throw up a Jacurutu invite just for good measure.

Do we have a Jacurutu fanpage?

[SandRider]

I nominate you to make it so ....

:runs to fbook:

THere are various pages with no problem, but I a while back (year or more) a page was created that I forgot the name, but was a bunch of folks from here. We were not exactly posting kindly about McDune, and the HLP folks who run the "Official" page reported the names of the admins, I was one of them and I still dont remember how(im proud of it been doubly banned by the HLP!!! wHHHhhOOOOzza!!) but it locked out my account. I havent endeavered to make anything new. Jacurutu is Freak and companies creation so I would run it by them first if they wanted an extension like that, before doing anything. If you search for pages on Dune there are a few Canon only pages, Orthodox Herbertarians If Im not mistaken. Crimes against literature, plus the regular Dune Fan pages, and the official one.
