The stock market isn’t the only place making all-time highs.
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. TBP ended up with the highest daily visitor count in its six year history yesterday. We had never broken the 30,000 mark. Yesterday we ended up with 31,800 visitors.
I can slave over an article for ten hours and get a lukewarm reception.
Yesterday, I wrote one paragraph, added some paragraphs from John Hussman’s weekly letter, gave the post a scary title – Panic Before Everyone Else Does – added a funny gif of a deer eating popcorn, and walla – I’ve got a viral article.
I guess I should give every post a scary title or put a cute gif in every post in order to become a huge success.
I’ll just keep running and see what happens next.
The only reason you got all those hits was the fact that I Emailed every white supremacists neo Nazis web site on the internet. Then thought to myself we need more diversity so I emailed the New black Panther party .Those guys must really like you.Oh well ,glad I could do my part. bb
It’s all because of Evan’s posts. You owe your success to Evan!
And 31,790 people log off as soon as they read a bb post.
Can someone stop bb from touching me inappropriately?
This place reminds me of zerohedge 4-5 years ago. Then that one blew up, and they had to make choices. It’s a big site now, but it’s quite different. Not exactly the home of the brave. I am amazed at how minimal trolling is here. A clashfest like this is usually a magnet. Nice work, mr. quinn
Trolls are dispatched by the shit throwing monkeys immediately. They can’t survive the regulars.
I chalk this up to Admin’s Irish charm. The warm welcoming wagon to newcomers helps boost the count also.
The TBP Irish charm welcome wagon.
Pictures of smokin hot babes with titles (yeah I saw that) like ‘Would You?’ are what we need.
Anon is me. Yeah, there are some one hit wonders but they do get run out fast. Quality original content and a diverse (to say the fucking least) core of commentators, and an amazingly thick skinned batch at that.
I read it all Jim, just don’t post as much…..just don’t have much to add I guess – just seems like whatever it is, it’s close.
Well ,I’m very much in real life the way I am here. People hate me or they really hate me .I have never been a good politician .That’s probably the reason I never got promoted in any of the so called career jobs I had in the past .After 2009 I said fuck it .I’m out.One good thing about trucking is you never deal with the same people. Every day is different.
Admin ,thank you for letting me hang around.
” We had never broken the 30,000 mark. Yesterday we ended up with 31,800 visitors.”
That looks like a record that should be broken. What do I get if I bring in 50,000 visitors for an article? Please don’t say a Janet Yellen nip slip photo…

One week at Llpoh’s Australian doomstead

A daily Kate post would generate 100,000 visitors per day

Steph will have to wear the French maid outfit the whole week. No one doomsteads for free.
Just for yucks, Yesterday I went onto this great “site” someone recommended. I immediately got into a flamefest with some union nutjob.
I was banned inside of an hour. I am not sure what I said – I simply described him accurately: dumb-ass cocksucking faggot, and bingo, I was banned.
I no longer know how to relate to others, I guess. TBP has ruined me for life.
Llpoh
I can’t believe you’re whoring around on other websites.

You call people you like on TBP dumb-ass cocksucking faggots.
Imagine how fast you would have been banned if you really told him what you thought.
Breaking 30K/D for a site like this is something to be proud of, Admin.
Admin – yes, I felt kinda bad, like an llpohedict Arnold. I just wanted to see what happened elsewhere. The only site I post on is here,, and I take a quick look at ZH every few days.
But, really – banned within an hour. That must be some kinda world record.
You banned me once for posting under a dopplename, as I remember (you didn’t know it was me and banned my IP). Back in the days when things occasionally got really ugly around these parts. Really, folks that have been only around a couple of years or less have no idea what it was like.
The fights were so bad, several of use would get pissed off and stomp off in huffs at the same time. A couple of days later, we would do it all over again. Too funny.
I call bullshit. It is no surprise. This is the best site on the net. Admin and commenters are great. There are some really smart and ethical commenters . Mr. Quinn you can look forward to continued success ofTBP.
I miss AWDs contributions. His ghost did pretty good.
Llpoh. Yew need ter stop fuckin them ‘kangaroos’ long enough to git uh life. ‘Oh yeah, I took a little break from farting my life away here in the commentary of TBP and got bizzanned from infowars. PS I’m an extremely wealthy nativemurican piece uh red dookey, on mah doomstead in Australia.’ Good gawd. Yer inability ter construct a reasonably believable narrative fer yer feeble existence makes me want ter gag like Billy on a cocker spaniels ding dong, which around here is what we call a ‘nightly occurrence’. Why don’t you use some uh that great wealth ter buy some viagra so yew don’t feel so inclined ter wank yer shriveled impotent Vienna sausage in public so much. Yew almost make me want ter quit posting here, what with yer idiotic co dependant ramblings.
I OBJECT!

llpoh says: The fights were so bad, several of use would get pissed off and stomp off in huffs at the same time. A couple of days later, we would do it all over again.
LLPOH, sorry I didn’t get in touch with you on National BFF day but I’m counting on the International Date Line that it is still BFF day over there so you can bask in the warmth of my affection. Over here it is already National BFFF day celebrating former friends, (and ex-wives presumably).
A BFFF day would be totally unnecessary and redundant as it would already be covered by Dick Day. I mean, no one actually becomes a former friend forever unless they slept with your new GF, drank all your beer, kicked your dog and called your mom a ho. Short of that, he would be a normal close friend.
You always leave a door open to reestablish your buddy system. You don’t take a blood oath to sever a close friendship over an internet flame job, who does that?
Good gawd. We got a buffalo jerky, mashed acorn burrito cooking here.
Kin yew brown and red people please go home and let us aryans rebuild civilization and worship Odin and all that other non non white bullshit non whites hate? Shitballs uh mercy don’t yew guys have somethin menial ter do?
EC – there have been a lot of folks who started out warring and then turned into buddies and allies.
Everyone – and I mean everyone – used to kick the every loving shit out of AWD. Happened for months, by memory. Then he started to learn. Then he started to really contribute. He started out with the monicker “A Whole Doctor”. Of course, that ws ripe for the picking – “A Hole Doctor” or asshole doctor, etc etc etc. He finally, out of desperation, changed his name in order to try to eliminate those attacks.
By memory, it was a pic like this, captioned “A Whole Doctor at Work” that finally sent him scurrying for a new name.

No, we do not tend to hold long term grudges. Hell, I am even warming to Steph. She is saying some smart stuff as of late. The now banished, for good reason (he was always a total asshole), RE was an exception.
But the whole point about TBP, in my humble opinion, is education (plus some good fun). If people learn stuff – and I surely do – what is the point of holding a grudge?
At this point in my life I really only hate one person. The reason I have not been able to get past it is that the prick deserved a beating, and it was the first time in my life that a prick had fucked with me that much and I did not make them bleed. It was at college, and had I done so, I probably would have been expelled, and my life would not be the same now. Somehow I managed to not beat him, but I lifted him off the ground by his shirt front. But I have always regretted not beating him, as he had it coming. And I have hated him, because in my mind he got away with mistreating me, and that burns my ass. I ran into him some years later, and told him how much I regretted not beating living shit out of him, and that I was still considering it. He was oh so apologetic, but it did not placate me. He was a rich kid that is going to go through his entire life being an asshole, and never having to bleed for being one. Became a fucking lawyer – what a surprise. It is one of my few regrets in life.
But anyway, the door is always open for smoking the peace pipe.
We are a community, and if folks hang around, we form a bond.
I tried on the maid’s outfit. how do I look?

I guess I could tend to trashing and mopping the place. I’m surprised how BW re-invented herself from a literal nobody to a position of authority here on TBP. Only other time that happened is Clammy.
Dang, Clammy is looking fine. Makes me want to see her mom nekkid.
Yep, LLPOH, the boss knew I didn’t have the heart to hurt anyone’s feelings, he said, (Coyote) is the kind of guy that if he ever told anybody off, he’d be back apologizing the next day.

“Admin, thank you for letting me hang around.”

In nearly all cases, you have to have the intestinal fortitude to do that yourself.
