No. I've been pure board for years now. I was like that before the move even. Same. I had really lost interest in WC before the split, and read a few articles on FAN when it launched but am mainly here for the board. And even that it feels like I rarely have time for anymore

Every time I go it's MLP and you couldn't pay me to give a shit about that.

Yeah, throw me into the "accidentally when I click on the logo" crowd. I found Wrestlecrap via our very own Sean Carless's The Wrestling Fan, which I found via a hilarious shop of Hogan in a mobility scooter, and I stopped checking it after a little while.
I think the straw that broke the camel's back was "Basketball Jones". Literally the unfunniest forced meme ever, but it seemed like RD thought it was the most hilarious thing ever and forced it upon us without the consent of the mods.
In fact, it's the reason I more often than not refer to Batista as Big Dave, because that was one of the ways around the filter.

I usually read it for Raymond Gallant's stuff and David Broermann's articles. (I probably screwed up your last name, and I am sorry for it.) Nothing else really interests me.

As for the topic at hand, I accidentally clicked on an article once and it was quite poorly written so I haven't been back. I'm just here for the forum jokes at this point, there are better places to get pop culture articles. No offense to any of the contributors.

only by accident, and i'm usually embarrassed when i do. a lot of MLP and Power Rangers with some wrestling and porn occasionally thrown in. it just screams adult nerd who lives in their parents basement. Yup. It's not the type of website I'd want someone reading over my shoulder. And that's something, because I have family members who ask me if there's any funny photoshop threads I can show them, from time to time.

Here's an idea...how about some of you actually go into the thread i made and let us know what you want to see on the main site. I let this thread stay but i do feel it's insulting to the writers here. The site is for you guys...let us know what you want instead of the rampant apathy i see here all the time.

Give me an hour to play around on the site and I'll give you some honest (and constructive) feedback in the stickied thread. Absolutely didn't mean to offend anyone.

The problem for me to read the main site is that the only thing I read on the internet is sports stuff. And I don't think the main site can replicate the writing and details that other blogs I visit have. For example I visit Amazin Avenue daily and I tend to read all the articles there about the Mets and the writers there for the most part watch all the games and can give me the detail and insight that I like to read and can't find anywhere else.
Really I don't have much of an interest in reading a full length article otherwise. Especially in topics like Anime/MLP which I have no personal interest in what so ever. But that's only this mans opinion.

I've checked it out, but I don't go there at all regularly. It's not that I don't find the content boring or bad or anything and it has nothing at all to do with the FAN's site specifically. I'm just mainly here for the forums. Was that way with Wrestlecrap too after awhile, and pretty much every site attached to a forum I end up posting a lot on.

It honestly because none of the topics really interest me. Like I don't really care for anime or manga or comic books and I don't really want to read wrestling articles because everything outside of off topic and forum games is a wrestling article of opinion. Also way too much nostalgia and cartoons like when I click on TV articles I am expecting Breaking Bad/Modern Family/Game of Thrones/etc but it's just MLP of Power Rangers or Rockos Modern Life. Same thing with video games instead or current reviews it's always old 8 bit games. I know there are reviews on current games but you have to click through a bunch of pages to find one and click through more for the second one. Same thing with music. I like Evilutions metal reviews but every page on music is just his reviews. Id imagine someone who hates metal wants to find something else they would of gave up a long time ago finding something that isn't Evilution metal reviews.
I do like the stuff that is different then you normally would find on the net like Mikey Cee's direct to DVD's reviews, Evilutions metal reviews, or Bobs HOF threads. I just feel there needs to be more organization and more accessible topics that isn't nostalgia or cartoons. Like problem with many nostalgia reviews is that there are so many reviewers out there and people are more interested in watching an amusing insightful personality like Nostalgia Critic or AVGN then read a written review when there are already tons of them.
An idea I do have that can increase FAN productivity stamping our reputation and increase traffic is do weekly or monthly photoshop challenges and post the pictures on the site. Something Similiar to Something Awfuls photoshop Friday with a watermark for FAN. The moment you see pictures that we photoshopped on the dirt sheets and other wrestling forums and tumblr shows people are paying notice to us.
If I wasn't burnt out by the NHL season this year so early I wouldn't mind making bleacher report style lists and power ranking articles. f***ing sports fans love lists and countdown articles and can't get enough of them. Plus it's great for casual hockey fans and believe me there are tons of them who want to see if their local team is really going to be good this year and they need some Internet guys short but sweet opinion if they should pay attention to hockey this year.
Hell f***ing countdowns and lists are great in general. Just for the love of god put as much stuff on one page as possible because I hate clicking next 32 times.

But that's only this mans opinion. I tried to start a sports article about a year and a half ago. Didn't last cause no one read it . The fact that this thread is doing better than my thread asking suggestions for the site says something. Writing for the site, I kind of understand being driven off by the anime, porn and pony stuff. I've been having issues with writing here in a vacuum..but having my name mentioned twice as a reason to go to the site makes me feel better . Thanks @torgaddon and Sigma: Current SRW Champ!And super sweet...I literally started a top ten last week. I started a thread asking what people wanted. The ONLY response was to tell me the list sucked. So how can I try to appease when no one even wants to try?

Like the other thing is the whole site layout is hard to find what you want and like.

As said by a few only on accident lately. I used to skim JD porncentric entries but haven't gone to read stuff much lately. Anyone recommend anything?

I find the name a bit embarrassing and the site design's quite cheap looking, I think. The forum actually looks better.
