This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Do you think there will be a change in forum viewership after that screenshot was viewed three million times on Twitter?
You can't post something like this without providing a link.
In any case, I suppose we don't have to worry so much about losing the Reddit pipeline.

Screenshots without links, or even a URL in the screenshot itself? We'll be lucky to get 10 new users from that.
It's something of a pet peeve of mine with the posters that struck out on their own, and are now acting like they're to cool to admit to ever hanging out with us. Though in Trace's case he might be trying to protect us from being flooded.
In the thread there’s the tweet:
And I think this phrase alone will bring a few thousand to the forum
I think it’s totally reasonable to deny association with the forum given the content that is sometimes posted
Except on Twitter that phrase means "Substack". Actually, now that I look at it, the screenshots aren't even from the post on The Motte, they're from the guy's Substack.
"I don't want my niche hangout to be overrun by normies" is a perfectly fine sentiment and I'm not going to hold it against anyone who made it big, but "I'm going to cash in on a post from my niche hangout, and not give credit, because I'm afraid I'll get cancelled" is very, very low.
