Unit 5302 - You crack me up. You say, sorry Dan... but, your response says... "I am still right and Alexa can't be wrong, and I know your traffic is lower. The message board proves it." Well, you are wrong. Also, you are still trying to say it all hinges on message board traffic, and that is wrong too. Although forum traffic does help a lot, it doesn't necessarily determine overall traffic levels on a site as a whole. MW's media center, user's rides, articles, and several other areas of the site are HIGHLY popular... and receive a lot of traffic; even without the message board.
In addition, Alexa does not have access to our web server logs, and there is no way it can track our traffic with any accuracy. The only thing Alexa tells is that less people clicked on Google search links to go to MW than a couple other sites. So what? There are thousands of people who come here every single day directly, through other search engines, and by clicking on links at hundreds of other web sites. Alexa can't track that either. Maybe Alexa shows some rating or traffic tracking that is lower than some other sites, but that is only based on what it can track. That's only clicks through Google search page results and anyone who installs the Alexa toolbar on Internet Explorer (if it even has that capability). Again, so what. I've never even seen anyone who has the "Alexa toolbar" installed. That tells me how widely used that is. Google is only one of many search engines out there and only a small percentage of our overall unique users each day initially get here through a google link.
Regardless, I like how you just "threw in" trying to poke at MW during the start of a post that really had nothing to do with MW or its traffic. It appears like your purpose in posting within this thread was an attempt to slam on MW, be an advocate for our competition, and put down some of its members while you also claim to be more intelligent and knowledgeable than everyone else. Too bad.
Now:
1] The only reason the Female Power forum died was because GC2 has launched as a complete Web site (where MW and GC2 are partnered) with its own dedicated forums. And, thus this forum is being removed.
2] Please keep this thread on topic to Arnold, California, and politics. MW is not the topic. I have already stated my position, the facts, and feel no need to debate it further.
