I run a boardgame meetup group in St Louis, and my Google Analytics information has shown there’s been some traffic generated from this message board - it started on April 7th, and there’s been occasional referrals since.

However, because of the way vBulletin works, with the link to a specific post or thread being part of the query string, google analytics only tells me that the “referring link” was  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php)

I’m just curious as to what the thread is about, but as I have no information about the content of the thread, I’m having a hard time locating it.

Anyone able to help me out?

Search doesn’t show up anything for me. Maybe someone else who took part in that thread might be able to help.

Do you know which page on your site it’s leading to?

Incidentally, welcome to The Straight Dope. Hope you’ll stay longer than this one thread. You’ll find discussions here to suit every interest. Since you obviously like board games I suggest you start with [The Game Room](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=17) where you will find people of similar interests. It’s mostly sports, but also board games, card games, video games, etc. It’s fairly likely that’s where your link originated.

What he said. Thanks, Peter, for steering him in what’s probably the right direction.

Unfortunately not, I don’t have full access to the logs, just what Google Analytics is telling me.
