While I certainly appreciate the effort you put into this massive stat crunching JJ, aren't the results skewed when you & others admittedly have PPPPed (or should I say "broken thought post inflated") on the new boards in order to boost their numbers?

I keep seeing new registrations for folks on the other conference boards, so I think we should be seeing traffic on those boards increasing naturally in the coming weeks.

The others have posts that all legit. All of the Sun Belt boards have increased on their own, without any PPPP help.

A few have been hit by PPPP, such as Charlotte, Ball State, and Washington State. There might be 1-2 more, I can't remember.
