We really have to work harder. The forums ahead of us are pretty lame - paintball, French health forums, Russian teen chats, American Idol???

We need to step it up!

Ok, we can make better... but wait a min.. I'm not sure what of the following shocks me the most:


14. PBnation - Paintball related message forum
18 Bokt.nl - A bulletin borad dedicated to horses (in Dutch

So ... is Paintball so common in the wolrd? what a typical message on that forum would look like? anyway, any paintball fan here ?

Now, the horse one... being a horseridign aficionado, I know that there're a couple fo nice breed from Netherlands and that there're many fans out there... but ... there're only 16M Dutch people in the world , right ? and ... how many Dutch speakers... 17M total (being generous ) ... so ... how many of those like horses... ???

We need do do better with TB !

I think the size and posting frequency is just perfect on Talkbass. I hope it stays as it is now.

I was a member of PBnation way back in the day... it was a hopping forum, a bunch of brat kids with too much of their parents money to spend wanting to know which electric marker will shoot the fastest, make less noise, and be shinier.

I spent all my time in the pump forum.

We were posting at the same time - the post per member number of 53 is interesting.....so at over 28,000 I suppose I 'm a bit above average!!

I noticed that too, there's a lot of eye candy on that forum. I just wish I had something worthwhile to contribute to it!
