What is it we do well?
We have threads similar to this every once in a while, but this is something I've been pondering for about 6 weeks. Sitting in airports and on airplanes gives a guy a chance to ponder.
What is it that TFP does well? Or better than other boards on the internet? I'm asking because I love this place and want to see it grow. Most of you know that I'm relatively successful in business, and one of the lessons I learned early on was "figure out what you do well and do more of it". So as I've sat in the middle seat between two fat guys, I've tried to pin down what things seem to make this place go. I don't have an answer in mind, and the ideas I've come up with on my own conflict with one another.
I'm putting this in General Discussion as opposed to one of the higher membership areas in the hopes that some newer members will contribute their thoughts as well.
Personally, I think that most people still find us via the porn. When I look at what parts of the board are the most trafficked on the front page (where it shows how many folks are in each area), the Erogenous Zone always stands out. I can give lists of people that first signed up based on what was there, but how do we go about drawing more folks out into the more interesting part of the board? If you were one of those that found us from the Fark boobie link (or whatever) what first prompted you to post outside of the EZ?
I wish I could remember my personal answer but it was 4 years ago and this was a different place.
