Trust me, this is nothing. Sometimes there is one active topic.

This is pretty lively. There was a time in history when noone at all posted on ATT I gather, but I think that was a little before my time. Back when I first came, though, it was pretty dead around here...

Yeah, and posting in 50-different topics in under an hour is going to kill it again.

I believe this board has no real hope of survival. I think it was a war for dominance between B&B and TT, which B&B won. The battle was over the board which would be THE board for non-Ambrosia, non-political, non-tech topics. The boards couldn't co-exsist, unless one transformed into a lesser version of the other, which did happen. I feel the most respectable thing that could happen to TT is for it to become a staging ground for the B&B; a place for new members to learn the way the community operates.

Or a place to hide from certain B&B members you just don't get along with. Like an "alternate reality" of sorts, albiet a smaller one.

Its true. We know how to have fun here. We have µ, we have a toilet seat, we have Avatara...what more do you need?
In my humble opinion, the B&B is kinda boring.

If there was any competition between TT and B&B, it took place in the first six months of the board's existence. Since then, the two have just meandered along separately. EV just has a fanbase with more longevity, not to mention the additional influx from Nova.
