With only 10,000 posts to reach the one million mark, "Juliann's baby" is turning into an adult. There's seems little doubt it has been a successful board as far as drawing posters and generating lively discussions.
Ongoing predictions that MAD "would be dead in six months" haven't materialised. You have to give her credit.
So what is the secret of Juliann's brainchild?

I think it's her charming, easy going nature and her even handed moderation.

The only reason I post there is I find the threads interesting. I really have no interest in board politics. I post on whatever thread inspires me to post.

If it were not for Zak, MAD would only have 900,000 posts.

I would like to know the stats of how many of the posts were made by people that are now banned.

It would become bland and boring without critics. They seem to like Tarski, but it's a sort of love/hate relationship. I think that's why they keep unbanning some critics. When the flames die down, they'll ask The Dude back.

I posted on MDB for a few days. I made a joke about Utah and used the term "magical thinker". Pahoran called me a bigot. That place is awesome.

Classic story!
That place is awesome.
It really is.
I live in a university community in Los Angeles. It's nice to be able to step out of that world and visit the alternate reality Mormons live in every once in a while. It's kinda like taking drugs.
