since i'm banned over there, and they've made it so that if you try to peak in now, you can't even see the activity numbers, i was wondering if anyone who goes there can report how the BM (bowel movement) board is progressing? how is the activity? how many members, how many crazy people, etc?

Last time I peaked in, I was the only person on the website and there hadn't been any posts in a couple of days. I would have thought the place would be booming with new members. But maybe my access is restricted or something, or I'm missing something.

"In total there are 3 users online :: 3 registered, 0 hidden and 0 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
Most users ever online was 18 on Wed Nov 14, 2007 12:41 am"

"Statistics
Total posts 1737 • Total topics 263 • Total members 296"

i have been clicking on the bookmark every now and then just to be nosey, and in the site activity, it kept saying that there was only one person online - which apparently was me, as it said that person was a "guest".

since i kept getting that over and over - i just assumed that they were blocking me from seeing the activity, somehow...

but earlier today, it said 8 were online including one guest.

so i'm guessing that maybe the place just remains THAT dead!
aw, bill must be sooooo proud!

I have lurked over there too finding it odd that no one is posting or online. I doubt Bill Maher even knows or cares for that matter.
Well I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty from Bill next year and on the TV doing interviews getting ready to plug his movie on religion.

i think the abrasiveness of the admin has really fucked their chances of getting back up and running like before

itsmeeeeeee

that's for sure...

i barely posted anything - and what i said was much more sarcastic than harsh! i merely pointed out the obvious, and everyone who was there was agreeing with me. in fact, after i was banned, but before they made it so you can't even SEE the board without logging in, they had changed most of the things i had questioned. but that was before michelle was made a moderator, and that psycho bitch was still running everything.

i guess the straw that broke the camel's back was when i noted the total lack of activity, and predicted it wouldn't get better unless they reorganized the mess... and poof! i was banned.

i DO think bill will notice, tho...
once his little "vacation" is over.
because i don't believe that he never looked at the board.
in fact, i think he used it to identify the hot topics he built his show around.
i picked up on quite a few things in the show that make me suspect this over time.

just one example off the top of my head was his sudden interest in the movie "idiocracy" - which was VERY obscure at the time, and getting NO PRESS. somebody had a thread about good movies and i suggested that it was an extremely profound commentary on the state of the country, and predicted that it would go on to become a cult hit. he started using the term "idiocracy" to describe the U.S. just two days later on his very next show.

another example was he brought up the north american union on the show right after someone posted the very first obscure article regarding it on the board.

I don't know how BMB could have many users yet; we're all here, LOL! Remember guys? We were the faithful...we were the tried and true fans year after year. And a great source of free research for Bill and his team of writers.

Well, that's gratitude for ya.

Bill should come on this site!!! Wouldn't that be a hoot, to have a live chat with him after the show? Other celebs have done that.
