Is BreatheHeavy Having Its Financial Crisis 2008 Moment?

[Blackout2006]

Last year, Exhale was having its biggest boom since 2018 but nowadays it feels so dull...I mean like...

Exhales server caught fire lately thus leading to it being shut down for a few days akin it's own stock market crash moment

Iconic users like @Iconic 4 U and @ColdAsFire88 left Exhale

The amount of general visitors and online exhalers has been falling down since this year has started

Slayer's Britney album megarates are over, and didnt the last one like have only a few visitors (relevant to my last point)

It has been stagnant around 65k something users 

Not many threads nowadays are crossing over a 100 replies which connects to my 3rd point

I have entered my first flop era AKA Blackout2006 Jean

And Exhale has been feeling so dry lately

Thoughts exhale?

Help 

 

but also the glory days are back. My return to the stage wasn’t enough for ratings???

 After YEARS of being away after the backlash from my last performance 

mess of a thread. Was Framing Rikhale not revelatory enough for you??? It’s not worth it to be famous anymore! No one is getting hit threads like they used to, it’s all social media now

Yep, it sucks cause I need more people to give me reputation points

Nah lol. Not every month is going to have record-breaking traffic and that's ok. Some months are going to be slower than others - that's how it's always been. The server catching on fire did cause a hiccup for sure, but we've since moved to a Cloud environment so that won't happen again. We'll get a new wave of traffic in time. 

Regarding members leaving, that's also totally normal. There will always be churn rate. A few members leave, but more register. We passed 70K members this week btw. 

More than a million individual people have visited Exhale in the last 90 days. We'll be alright ;)

Also worth pointing out that this isn't true. 2021 is on track to be our most-trafficked year ever.

How come @Iconic 4 U left?

My megarates are not over, i'm planning on announcing another soon but i'm not sure which one to go for 

I think people need to make threads on different topics, I think people rely on the mods or certain users making topics, exhale is for everyone and everyone should be encouraged to make threads  

[CindyTheTVisLeaking]

what happened to @Iconic 4 U and @ColdAsFire88

we demand explanations 

[CindyTheTVisLeaking]

is there some drama involved?

This forum will die when I leave, we all know this, I'm a star, phenomenon, legend and sensation here already  Haters will always try to deny it because of jealousy but I don't care

The politics section was booming last year for obvious reason. Now you don't have that one.

The DRAMA, MAMMA!

If a hiccup makes you leave this place, then you weren't truly rooted.

Jordan the only reason the traffic is up is because of the Cship. Thats why there are so many new people here. A lot of people who used to be here a lot gave up on this place and a lot are annoyed with whats happened to it. This used to be a place where people could come and discuss anything and everything without restriction and it was fun. You post images of yourself being "silenced" while not letting us say words, giving people warning points for words and have moderators who block us for 24 hours for saying something while saying something even worse without reprecussions.  You have moderators accuse you of something you never said or meant in a thread, close your thread so you cant answer and when you answer in a different thread you get banned for 24 hours. 

I have been here for years and never had issues with people here and suddenly in 2021 I am the most problematic piece of **** here:

I got banned for 24 hours because I said that Demi was into "Trauma P.orn" and yet its ok for your moderators to write this about her. (I agree with everything that is said here but its way worse than what I wrote)

I said in a topic that I agreed with what BLM stands for but I am against the organisation because of all the corruption and get called a racist and get Warning points. Meanwhile this message on my profile incites hate and is totally fine and all of the people calling me racist are totally fine too. It doesnt matter that I literally agree with the message of BLM,  NO! I dont support the organisation I HAVE TO BE EVIL!

I asked legal questions about the George Floyed case after watching the trial online and get accused of supporting him (I dont), have my topic closed, get banned from a different thread where I answered a question I was asked and banned from Exhale for 24 hourse. All I wanted to know was if people thought that the prosecution had enough to prove intent to kill and listed some things the defense brought up. That was it. 

 

Maybe your numbers are high now. But the second Britneys legal issues are over and she either announces her retirement or her comeback is over your numbers will plummet. A lot of people are annoyed but nobody wants to say anything because nobody wants to get banned. We just private message each other, This place is the most restictive message board I have ever been on and its a shame because it used to be one of the best ones.

I have to disagree, Exhale is probably the LEAST restrictive forum i've been on. On other forums people's comments get deleted if they bash mods, they get banned immediately, etc. That does not happen here, we very rarely ever permanently ban anyone. Heck, even two week suspensions are very rare - however, this method has been made of use lately because certain people's behaviour have been completely out of hand.

You've been negative on Exhale for many years, i've been witness to it and I will not apologise that action is finally being taken and you are rightfully receiving warning points for your hateful and racist behaviour. You're just annoyed that you're finally facing repercussions. I'd also like to point out, we act following receiving reports too, so it's not just the mods who think certain behaviour is not okay, so let's not blame this on mods doing whatever they want and being biased - we receive reports and review them and award WPs if they are deserved. In regards to you being banned from a thread, that is the correct action to take if your behaviour is going to totally derail a thread. Especially when people were happy about the George Floyd trial outcome and you came in with your negative and hateful remarks.

You claim you have people message you because they are annoyed, I have people message me saying they appreciate action being taken and that they are too worried to comment in threads in fear of being attacked by certain members (the members that we have finally started action against). If people have any issues the best thing is to privately message us so we can find a way to resolve those issues and work together.

It is likely the people that 'agree' with you are people who are involved in derailing threads and causing negativity like yourself.

If you meant well by your comments and truly cared you would not have ended your post how you did in regards to the future of Exhale.

If this was any other forum you would have been removed many years ago.

I'm sorry you feel this way. 

The Moderators don't suspend or warn members arbitrarily. It's always with a valid reason. 

Most restrictive forum? Because we ban profanity (as it goes against Google's terms and we are a Google-certified publisher)? Because we don't allow overt negativity and hate speech? Nearly all warning points expire after 48 hours. 

And if the numbers on BH plummet because Britney's situation has improved, I welcome that.

So being negative isnt allowed now? We all have to be happy and pretend that we like everythin? Be honest do you think me saying that Demi like Drama P.orn is worse than anything you wrote? Like I said I agree with everything you wrote but imo it was worse.  If I felt like I wrote something racist then I wouldnt mind getting blocked. But I literally wrote that I am pro reparations, anti police violence and that I want every black person in the US to do well. I just dont like the organisation.  You gave me warning points for inciting hate... I asked legal questions about a trial. Where did I ever incite hate? Hate is the last thing I want.  But that Simpson lover can call me a racist rat on my profile and that totally fine. Not hateful at all. 

So a moderator can accuse me of supporting Chauvin and then close my thread so I cant defend myself and then I am the bad one for replying? You saying its because of the timing is just like conservatives saying you cant talk about guns after a mass shooting because "its not the time".

How can people resolve things with you? You put words into peoples mouths and accuse them of things that arent true and then block them when they try to defend themselves. Or you hand out warning points for bad words while saying much worse. (not you specifically but mods in generall) 

Most people that agree with me dont post their honest opinions here, They dont even like what I post because they dont want people to see that they agree.

I dont see how the end of my thread means that I dont want Exhale to do well. Im just a realist and know that it will probably get worse, not better, And Jordans reply was proof. 

I have been removed in one forum my entire life (A christina forum).  Every other forum I never have any issues and I write the same way I write here + I didnt have issues until last year here either. I have had some discussions with people that werent super positive but isnt that the point of a message board? To discuss things? If you want to discuss things then its more interesting to talk to people with different beliefs and point of views and sometimes things get heated. At the end of the day its still just a discussion on the internet, If nobody ever says anything negative then its just a bunch of people agreeing with each other. I think what you did was extremely ****ty and I cant believe you seriously think I am racist and called me that but hey I still wish you well and hope you have a good life because this is the internet and my life wont be ruined if you hate me or ban me. But please realize that talking with people (especially with different viewpoints) can be very beneficial and is more interesting that only talking with people who think the same. When I made my Trial thread I was really looking forward to interesting talks about the case especially from people who know more about the law then I do. Instead I get accused of supporing Chauvin and my thread gets locked so I cant reply. Thats ridiculous. If the mod would have just locked the thread and messaged me then that would have been fine but he or she publically called me a Chauvin supporter and then expected me to not defend myself?

They do. And they do it very inconsisently. They totally ignore the behavior of some members and hammer others. 

Jordan we cant even say words like S.ex, b.oobs, or p.orn on here... its almost like we are in kindergarten.  You say you dont allow negativity but yet if your mods say negative or hateful stuff (or people the mods like) then nobody cares.
