I did a few editions of the Hot List, but the threads in which they appeared got maybe one or two replies each time. Some didn't get any.

Glad to see some changes will be taking place. I have been a member here for a while now and have taken some long breaks from time to time (nothing to do with FCB, just life getting in the way). When I started checking this place out again a few weeks back it seemed DEAD, with no real thought provoking or highly interesting conversations taking place. Hopefully efforts to bring in new members will start to change that.

Please point me to another site that has "real thought provoking or highly interesting conversations taking place." I don't think that's an FCB-specific problem at the moment, I think it's a hobby-wide problem at the moment. I spend most my hobby free-time here, but do check out the other boards on occassion, and I can't think of any that are experiencing a golden age right now.

So, who do I talk to about my pay raise?

Good point. I guess with a smorgasbord of collectors with varying interests in the hobby, its difficult for specific, interesting conversations to get up and going. I would love to see a blog implemented that is integrated into the threads on the boards (posted to message boards to garner a larger audience, thereby provoking conversation).

As always, clothing is optional at FCB.
You wear clothes when you read the boards? Oh crap left my web cam on again...

That's good stuff, let's see what changes new management brings to the site.

I do feel as if [MENTION=1770]Jaypers[/MENTION] brings up a valid point here, however more in general. I personally see this as one of the main issues here on FCB.
Just an observation that I have seen in my short time as a member. There is definitely a "clique" on this board. When you post, or start threads: unless you are part of the "clique", your threads or posts can be ignored often. This may cause some people to refrain from posting anything at all.
I am not speaking of anything I have posted, only what I see overall. I am Not trying to bash the forum; I really enjoy it, but more offer constructive criticism. Hopefully the new management team can take this feedback, and try to improve the traffic and conversations.

This is what I miss most. I'm sure his hot lists took a lot of time and effort to do, but they were so valuable. I loved the aspect of what guys went from not selling at all, to selling for $5-$10. I mean anyone can go to ebay sold listings, sort by highest price and get a hot list that way, but his was a diamond in the rough kind of list, or who was increasing, not who was already on top.
In reference to Phil. I among a multitude of others truly miss him being a regular here. I've been talking to him about this for a little while now and it really comes down to him not having the time to do them. I've tried guilt and every tool available but i completely understand what its like to not have the bandwidth to complete them.
If anyone is interested in completing them, please contact us and we can discuss...
My theory - the main problem with the Hot Lists is that the majority of prospectors have migrated to BO's boards.
This is evidenced not only with the aforementioned threads, but the MiLB daily threads, which do not get the responses they once did. (Not to mention most of the posts within them came from yours truly.)
These threads virtually always got at least two pages' worth of posts each day on BO's boards this year.

Beyond the technology improvements that you mentioned a great deal of the improvements will be getting content production back on a consistent basis.

Next we'll be trying to merge with BO.
I for one, welcome our new overlords.
Looking forward to it, it can only be good to have more brains in the tank!
I don't know how Chris was doing this with all those commitments - I can barely handle posting occasionally. I'm guilty of taking prolonged breaks all the time (like others, because of life, not FCB) and every time I come back, it gets a little quieter. I just don't feel the same excitement as when we moved here from Beckett. But, hopefully a few good ideas can get us rolling in the right direction.
