It's quite interesting that you're not aware of the "3rd board", since "you" post there. I suspect you and AR need to talk.

A brief history of the old WAC board on Owlzone (as I understand it): Owlzone developed problems and went down, possibly due to hacking. The guy who ran it wasn't able (or didn't have the time or energy) to get it back up and running. He's a Rice fan, so having limited interest is understandable.
There was a lull, while people waited to see if it would come back up. When it became apparent that it wouldn't, Anthony shifted into high gear pimping his board. That irked enough people that this board got rolling.
Then, out of the blue, Yoda unveiled his board, which he's still developing. I think he hoped to be further along with it by now, but hasn't had the time. He gets most of the Fresno traffic.
As to why there's not more traffic, I think it's a combination of reasons: 1) traffic is divided; 2) some people don't know about the new boards; 3) people are unfamiliar with the different format; and 4) Owlzone didn't require registration.
