Totallympics was really diverse back in those days...

 

Few days ago I was talking with one of my younger friends and I mentioned "sports forum" and he was like - "Who is still posting on the forums nowadays?" I felt so old

How was the gender equality though?

 

Probably also better.

 

I mean, users from Mongolia? Paraguay? Iraq? Guatemala? Yemen?? That's science fiction now.

I suppose Reddit is the only really popular forum-alike place these days? I never logged in there, but I guess that's an interesting example for the forum management.

I believe so. I have to admit, I found very useful information and sources on Reddit - chemistry wise even!

To be fair I must say many users from exotic nations were brough on the forum by me to have more nations represented, and I had to spend lots of time with every user just to explain how to register and what the forum is about. And out of 10 users brough on the forum like that, I think maximum 1 or 2 were user who would have come back on the forum spontaneously. We don't need to do that anymore now and new users just find the forum through google.

All these nations you and dcro listed were represented by users I found on Facebook/Twitter and guided them here. Out of them only one user from Nigeria and one user from Puerto Rico became regular users, all the others were just connecting if I sent them a link to the forum

We should establish Totallympics Recruiting Office then

Or we move this discussion to a different place and actually think of a plan other than spamming forums all over the world

True though, even the biggest Dutch forum which once was one of the biggest sites in the Netherlands is now barely getting new users, apart from some boring trolls repeating the same old 'jokes'.
