How is it that our ranking in the upper left was always in the top three. Since we lost that time online after Mark shut the forum down, we havent been able to get higher (than I have seen) than 27th. In fact, it seems we are slowly dropping.

Can LoL-x shed some light on this. I dont give a rats about rankings, but it seems odd to me that we had been so highly ranked for so long and after a few days offline and our ranking is dropping.

Even if it is driven by traffic over a set period of time, I would certainly think with the mass influx of users coming here once Steve saved the forum, that our numbers would bounce back up.

Any ideas Steve.

I have noticed the same thing.
I clicked on the link above and it shows our hits WAYYYY DOWN also?
Have we lost a link on Google or something?

Lol-x · 12 December 2006, 07:56 AM

Good question, and one that I have considered many times over the past week or so.
I do not have an immediate answer, so I don't want to speculate, but I will look into it further, and see what can be done to remedy this or at least clarify the situation for everyone.
Cheers

Stephen, have a browse of the Watch Top 100s, and you'll see that of the sites that rank above us, most are sales rather than forum sites. 'Tis the season!

Yeah, but last year at this time we were consistently up in the top three, so I dont think that hypothosys holds water.

So I guess this means you're selling both Subs. Amazing. The TT is still under the tree waiting to be opened and you're already thinking of flipping it. Now that has to be a new record, even for you.

But OTOH, if you are doing that for the good of the forum so we can get back into the top 10, I have to commend you for going beyond the call of duty. That is a hell of a sacrifice you're making for us. Equivalent to throwing yourself on a grenade to save the rest of the platoon.

Just make sure you post the pics on the Sale board and put a price with it.

Just had another thought, now Steve runs the show from Australia, our IP address will have changed and maybe all our past posts count for nothing.

padi56 · 12 December 2006, 07:22 PM

Do not worry about ratings they are only numbers and numbers in the right hands can be made to do anything.We are the same forum if we are number one or what ever we are.

astcell · 12 December 2006, 11:06 PM

At this rate he will water down the uniqueness of the sub and we will be like "oh that ol' thing again?"

Then he'll flip it for sure.

astcell · 13 December 2006, 04:21 AM

Just be glad he isn't as excited about his toenails.

SO, I guess this means "we are not as RANK as we once were"?????

That is a good thing, NO?

rockos · 13 December 2006, 12:15 PM

if you do a google search for rolex forum...this site doesnt even come up on the first page.

i had not been here for awhile and when i came to refind it i knew it was the rolexforum but google never found it. i found it through one of the rolex links.

You are right and just look at some of the forums that do make the first page. Another thing I've noticed is when I click the icon in the top right hand corner for the European top 100, I get the following message "Table 'ats_iplog' is marked as crashed and should be repaired". I think we should reregister the forum after the change of ownership.

But if you do a Yahoo search it comes up #3 on the first page.
