> Uh, wha? Huh? The Board is on the net, how much more “available” is possible, how do you “open up” more than that? The SDMb was invisible to some segment of the population, but now it isn’t? A guy in Zambia can download hamster porn with Hungarian subtitles but can’t find the SDMB?

They have to know or find out we’re here before they can find us, yes/no? The board changes that are underway include making the board searchable to search engines, and additional promotional efforts are underway as well. I believe it was either **jdavis** or **Ed Zotti** who, ahem, elucidated it (It’s a two-fer!:D), but unfortunately I can’t be arsed to fight your ignorance on it at the moment. Perhaps you’ll use our shiny new and very speedy (no, really!) seach function to find it for yourself.

Shirley your powers of discernment are better than this. The outside world isn’t ‘largely’ in agreement with me, only 50% or so. Thus, one may deduce that if the board is drawing posters from the general population, 50% of them will be conservative. This means the current balance of at least 98% to 2% ratio in favor of you guys may well be in jeopardy.

Silly hippie! The stuff I drink would grow hair on your chest. (Well, besides the two that are already there.)

Cheers.

ETA: Thanks, **Fear Itself**. I was of the impression it had begun but maybe it really is just a surge of previous posters. If so…[Emily Litella] nevermind. [/Emily Litella}
