And that board is?!

I think you're sort of right though. This place feels tighter. After Erik_P left, things have streamlined.

yeah we're smaller, and apparently more tight-knit

so regardless of who is actually less welcoming of outsiders, it's just more pronounced on PotD because we're smaller

Even if nobody is a jerk, it's less inviting when the place is all people who know each other a bit and have some rapport. When the rest of the site is largely randoms having generic discussions, it makes this place less inviting. People probably think "wtf?!" and fail to participate.

Yeah like here is this generic social board for anybody to talk about the daily poll and its its been taken over by a group of antisocial internet livers that blog about random crap all day while making in-jokes with each other.

I stay because you are all fascinating to watch and interact with sometimes.

It's kind of funny that he united everyone against him, but without him nobody really turned on each other or found a replacement. It just got way less tense here.

I can't tell if it's an actual feud or just something that exists so everyone feels less bad about themselves or some phony thing with no real substance. Like "yeah, yeah, you guys are the worst. Moving on..."

Kinda stupid, silly question, but keep in mind that CE is listed towards the top of social boards and the name of the board is more likely to invite discussion (whereas PotD is a place where people get mad when you try to discuss the PotD despite that literally being the board's name and intention). Other than that, to some extent a large existing board will be more likely to attract people. And, no matter what, one board on a site will be larger than another so it's not particularly significant in the first place.

I remember when Board 8 (The contest board) used to be PotD's rival. Hell, I came from Board 8 15 years ago, but I haven't posted on there since.
