That was spurred on by us pointing out that they had left too many loose ends for Rossi to cheat and then try to claim his money (due to being horribly unspecific in their original challenge).
This. The thread came back to life after being dormant, that's when Rojo came in.
I have screen-scraped the thread and have all the numbers. The brojos didn't wake it up in August, when it frequently fell back to page two.
If the brojos really cared about Mike Rossi and the ad-revenue generated from this thread, it wouldn't have been deleted several weeks prior to this year's LVM. It was then reinstated about a week after the marathon. If the thread had been around during that time, it would have generated more clicks and posts than at just about any other time during its history. There were many plans afoot to make the race look like the joke that it is, as well as speculation as to whether Rossi would run it. Most of it was probably talk, but I was definitely looking forward to seeing how things would play out at the race this year.
The brojos missed out on a lot of revenue thanks to the idiot mod who deleted it.
