    Can we make a Cabal?  I think that would be cool.
    Did you ask permission from NOLA and JIC? 
    Good point!  I bet they already have one too.  Maybe they will let me join?

    They put him up to it.  He’s been recruited and is now being manipulated because his post count is so low.
    Love you bro!

    Could someone explain if I'm supposed to be "ruining" the forum or "running" the forum?  Or is it both?  I've got a full schedule today and don't think I'll have time for both activities.

    Maybe I'll just wait for instructions from Nola.  
    Have you not told the flaggots that you're The Buffalo and they've been complaining to you about you? 
    Shhh!   Shush it, Eoin!

    Those 2 have definitely got a cabal.

    Quiet!!  Wait, what?  I am being manipulated.  I didn't even know, but looking back I might have been?  I need to go think for a while about my life choices.

    Btw, I prefer advanced metrics: post count is not good indicator, you really want PPV for true indicator of FWAR, post count/forum visits.  Anything above .500 is pretty solid.  If you are above 1.0, you will be hall of fame material, you need a minimum of 400 forum appearances for this metric though.

    You really need to look at reactions to posts as well, likes, dislikes, quotes, agrees, posts on new threads, etc.  we need a Q score to tell who the influencers are.

    You make some excellent observations.  I think a new OT thread may be brewing.  We could also pick teams like Kickball, and have a virtual Q league.

    I've always wanted to be a part of a cabal.  I've also wanted to be a part of a heist too. Both sound super cool.

    Egghead influencers should have a green 'I' next to their forum name, like the Twitter blue tick. Just so we know who to bow down to.

    Someone just needs to start a new forum so they can use all the coolest forum software, run contests and giveaways, turn it into nextdoor, etc.

    I think a blue smoke emoticon next to their name would be more apropos to this forum, no?

    Those in the cabal that are ruining the forum should probably change their avatar to this:

    Lots of letters to type in the correct order there. Maybe asking a bit too much. We need a catchy acronym.
