Year 4 is the deadest its ever been. Ratings, interest, etc., for football is through the roof except here and the West coast. I guess when fans from the west coast when they eventually do go to the game, they better bring their knitting.
I put in quite a bit of effort trying to build traffic here with links in sigs, tried to get other posters here to put links in sigs to join us for football discussion...and then make some posts or a thread on the GB so people see the sig.
Posted the NFL pick competition on almost every forum and it still only gets maybe 50-90 people...that usually cuts in half by the end of the season as people stop making their picks.
I even made a post about the Bears on the Bulls forum and no one said anything. About the Eagles on the Philly forum during their playoff run last year and even some on the Knicks forum....but barely anyone cares to discuss teams, even if they are really good.
There are just basically very few football fans on these forums..outside of maybe Packers fans. Also, a huge % of people on these forums are international fans. Most NFL teams have huge separate forums..the Chargers have a big one.
