2011 Year in Review

2012 Year in Review

Here are the 2012 stats:

Thread Post Count Total
3,000+: 2
2,000-3,000: 12
1,500-2,000: 6
1,000-1,500: 16
500-1,000: 10
>500: 6

Compared to 2011
1500+: 5
1,000-1,499: 19
500-999: 23
250-499: 2
100-249: 3
Under 100: 0

Here's a quick timeline of the PSD Wrestling Forum
2004-2006: Absolute Ghost Town

2007-2009: Up and down time. Activity high on some weeks, very low on others. WM and Rumble are the only events that are largely discussed in GT form. Among our founding fathers are Dmac, Trag, and Driven

First Half of 2010: Activity in RAW Threads slowly start to pick up. There is still no consistent weekly show thread. Moose who usually only posted in gimmick threads and WM/RR threads becomes more active in forum and is added as mod.

Second Half of 2010: A boom starts to occur. RAW threads are getting consistent posting of 50 to 100 posts.

Jan-March 2011: The spike continues to grow larger, from this point on we have not seen a RAW thread under 100 posts. Mark Out Henry's emerge.

April-August 2011: Forum completely blows up. WM sees a massive spike in activity only to be surpassed by Punk's scripted shoot, which sent the forum into a frenzy. 1,000 post RAW's are regular and we see the forums slow whenever RAW is on.

September-December 2011: Forum continues to grow through Mark Henry's Title run, the return of the Wrestling Redraft, and the creation of PWW in Dec. 2011. Somewhere around this time, more Wrestling Mods are added.

Jan-April 2012: The forum activity reaches a head through the first portion of 2012. PWW and the build to WM 28 causes the forum to reach hectic levels. The WM 28 thread gets nearly 8,000 posts.

May 2012 to Present: Activity starts to decrease before leveling out in November.



Finally... the evolution of the Wrestling Fourm's Post Count:

0 Posts in April of 2004
100,000 Posts in February 2011
200,000 Posts in December 2011
300,000 Posts in March 2012
400,000 Posts in July 2012
500,000 Posts in December 2012

So we are more active than 2011, but less active than the nuclear reaction between Dec 2011 and WM 28.

T'was a good year fellas!

I wish I could look up the posts from the beginning. There were a few active posters. Curse This was a really good poster. Melky Way was the first post whore. I think he became TM and then became banned. I'm blanking out on any other names.

I was able to pull up this thread from 2008 that merged a bunch of TV threads. A lot of these guys still post here, albeit sparingly. Guys like J-Cool (does he still post here?), Badkins, Warrior63, Cracka2HI!, downsos, JDIsMyGod, Dreamshaker, Yendil, Apophis, etc. I'd list more but there's too many.

There has always been lurkers and people who have wanted to post, there just wasn't much discussion. Guys from that thread include Run Gardner Run, redwhitenblue (he was a bigger one), NZ #1 Dodger (a big TNA guy), apparently Buckwheat (lolwut), carson005, maxcaster.

We've always had a decent amount of posters.

I was in the first wrestling redraft, I remember The Melky Way running it. He was cool. I remember rwb posting in WM threads, but not much else.

Even though I joined in '08, I mainly hung around the Boston sports forums. I didn't know this one existed until I showed up here in '11.
