The rationale being, the content is dragging down the internet - which is fair.

From the perspective of SEO... stopping lurkers doesn't stop the content still being seen by Google?

Plus checking now... there is still a link to the forum from the homepage.. did they change their mind?

Spiders will still see the content even if it isnt linked from the homepage.

What will be killing the score will be a lack of new/original content. The huge threads will also impact the numbers too as that is seen as old content.

Always had ads? Since I've always used ad blockers, I've never seen them but PR's techies are so sh*te, I can't believe they'd got around u-block or ad-block. So you should be okay if you want to keep posting there.

I've only ever had the banner ads and I don't use any add blockers on my phone. Now it's a disaster with an add in virtually every post.

There's literally no ability to have a conversation. Like a proper one where people engage over the course of a day. That's what made PR great.

PR looks to be ruined currently with it also being glacial. Pretty sure it's the first time ever outside Christmas and maybe NH summer where there's a last post on the main page from yesterday.

So if this place is going to take the best of PR, there needs to be engagement, but it's no lifeboat or alternative currently. It's a quiet bar where you might see an old friend for a brief chat, if you're lucky.

I don't know about you but I'm working on a combined treadmill / roundabout. I'm going to call it the Tauranga Experience.

They're automatically included as part of the experience.

Have you noticed, by the way... and this is definitely part of the Bay of Plenty Experience, that where you have speed restrictions on extended stretches of open highway due to roadworks which are unattended on weekends and outside of normal working hours... in other words, safe to roll through at slightly higher than posted speed restrictions, the long line of traffic that always forms will be headed by a small hatchback which is often silver grey in colour?

Didn't you Pike from PR anyway?

Of course it's going to be quiet to begin with
