who is trying to gain data from this site and why ??? seriously i didn't think we were trying to gain ad revenues users never use a system as intended deal if you are trying to find a site and say "this site reflects intelligent honest discussion and you can tell by the upvotes" then i suggest you not find a site that kind of fits that hypothesis and then harangue the userbase in the hopes that the site becomes closer to what you want your study results to say
And yet another utterly bizarre interpretation of an innocuous comment from refugee... weird. What are you reading into my posts, that simply isn't there? The only way ANY of us find/see content on this site, is by using the tools that are provided to us... chatter, global, tags, etc. If we apply some diligence and thought to how we tag our posts and use the hubwheel, then the excellent content on this site rises to the top, and we have an easier time finding and engaging with it. Where the fuck did I say anything about ad revenues?!? What the hell...?!?
