Traffic for Shoutwire is currently only 20% to 35% what it was last September. That's right folks--this site used to have 3 to 5 TIMES as many users and traffic, and the current owners have fucked it away.

"Personally i think Tspy & SW were so popular back in the day because they complimented each other. I used to vist Tspy for a torrent and end up reading SW also i used to just come to read SW and then end up looking at the torrents."
You're right. With the Tspy feed, we had a never-ending pool of users and readers. Now that the feed is gone, there is really nothing to draw people here, and because of the ads, they don't stay when they do find us.
The admins are currently approaching other sites so that we can get a feed up. In the meantime, anyone with Facebook or Myspace can get the SW apps going and encourage their "friends" to put it up too.


Cool

I'll add that SW app on facebook as well tomorrow.

I'm part of a few other forums and SW is just a tad too "no holds bar" for the etiquette on there.

I'd luv to make a sig or link to here, but I like having this site for the free speech.

those stats are based on visitors who have the alexa tool bar (ie. spyware) on their pc, and im sure there are getting less and less people installing this crap on their pcs results in the drop.

Alexa has never been good anyway, i run several websites and the ups/downs shown in alexa arent even a close match to my actual stats.

All I see in this thread are words strung together to form sentences, which in turn form opinions and ideas.

There is also punctuation, though not much of it.

I used to enjoy this site and the news, fact is I highly doubt the ads are what is making this sites traffic go down, most all sites on the entire internet have shit tons of ads.

Its just that there are bigger/better sites out there, 99% of the time the news on reddit or Digg is more interesting than here. Another big thing is the amount of flaming and noobs on shoutwire, I don't know why but every time I ever came here to read comments, most of theme were derogatory/racist or just idiotically patriotic.

I visit this site less than any of the other major sites, mostly because news on here is slow and uninteresting lately. It doesn't help that all anyone does is bitch about how better SW USED to be, really makes few people have any interest in this site.

^^actually, Bitch. The site is popular because we don't have bann happy retards like Sci, InsayneJayne, or NNy here.


Or you for having no manners and using foul language. So I guess you're lucky people are so tollerant.

Not sure if you noticed but the idea here is put up with offense or GTFO.


Yep, that sounds about right. Tell me, does it ever get any better than this? Or is this really what SW is all about. Say it isn't so....!

@immaculate
"Damn, I must be really getting on your nerve, isn't it?"

Not at all. You're a constant source of delight. Keep going about the shadow corporation that was formed to shut you down, the last voice of freedom. Although, it would seem you have a responsibility not to be coy, no? Who does "certain interest groups" refer to in THIS context? I know it's one of your favorite phrases, but you're kind of blurring the edges a bit. Freedom fighters like you need to keep their prose sharp, like the edge of the kitana blade.

^ And it doesn't strike you for one second that if I use the words "my little conspiracy devil" that I'm not all that serious?

To use some of your recent 'prose', I'm just throwing something against the wall to see what sticks. Now if you use that little piece of 'prose' once again, I'm going to call it one of your favourite catch-phrases.

Just seeing who will react to this idea. Got one sensible reaction so far from somebody who said some businesses can use a non-profitable company to make profits via another company through tax brakes or something. That's an idea I'll have to look into and I am not going to forget about.

"Who does "certain interest groups" refer to in THIS context?"

Oh, the regulars, American government, the NWO run by the Jews, gays, Ron Paul voters, Scientology, etc, you know the lot.

But there is one thing you can be sure of and that is that corporate take-overs are not always just meant to make money. There have been many take-overs that were only meant to destroy some competition.

In the mean time, you probably think it is perfectly normal for a business to work for no profit. Me, coming from a long line of private business owners, think it is not.

One remarkable thing about the business tactics of this Tubearoo is that they apparently have the idea that the site has to make revenue from the second they get in. Judging by ShoutWire's traffic decline you can see they are willing to sacrifice their steady user base and piss them off / fend them off right away.

Now that is a very strange business tactic. Especially because they already have their debacle with the Tubearoo website as a previous experience. When you run a business you know that you shouldn't expect profits the first 1 or 2 years. First you have to solidify a loyal base of customers and build a reputation from that. And then when that reputation is spread around by word you can expect to profit from that. But not right away.

Now apparently Tubearoo doesn't give a shit about that. And that strikes me as very odd. They are either very incompetent or have an ulterior motive. When you look at their stock reports there's obviously some big money behind it there somewhere. There are people wiling to invest, but you should know that bonafide investors don't just invest in anything.

But you just go ahead and think nothing of it. When you hear the word 'conspiracy' you are perfectly aware that it's actually a synonym of 'bat-shit-crazy', right?

What about Scientology? You know what shitstorm has been created here about Scientology. And it is a KNOWN FACT that Scientology does a lot of unlawful things to destroy opposition. And they got almost unlimited funding. It is PROVEN they infiltrate government, take over companies or use ANY MEANS necessary to destroy them. And I say proven because even the FBI got involved back in the days and people went to jail, and you, my dear Hunter are probably one of those people who don't believe anything unless it is dear Mr Government who says something.

But you just go ahead Hunter, and think that everything that happens is always perfectly benign and just the normal way things happen. Who cares if SW is being destroyed, it's a business right, so everything is normal AND acceptable. Lets never think any further of anything and accept all shit they throw in our laps. Let's NEVER WONDER WHY things happen, let's NOT EVEN TRY to discuss them, let's JUST ACCEPT them WITHOUT SAYING.

^ Move along people, move along, nothing to see here.

But I'm sure you'd only laugh about SW being destroyed, that's what you want, right? All this odd talk around here about jews and gays, you can't stand it anyway.
