            That's Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I can't believe there's a single soul on this earth who hasn't seen that movie yet.

                    "To every man upon this earth, Death cometh soon or late;
                    And how can a man die better; Than facing fearful odds,
                    For the ashes of his father; And the temples of his gods."

                      200,000 more and wab would be counted as a large forum.

                        Well I've tried to help raise our profile by expanding our wiki article with some deeper description of the forum. I had thought about taking a more comical tone and including the cult of the butter cookie, the trouble the mods have had with fakers and trolls, and the great Indo-Pakistani flame wars that have been fought over the last few years. Then again I thought this might make the board look bad, I was going to ask Duke what he thought?

                            After having custom-designed skin made, we are considering advertising the forum. I have experimented a bit with Google AdWords, running ads on a couple military forums. They were CPM, and the CTR was rather disappointing.

                            As for a description -- I like to think of WAB as a more unique style of forum. I consider the forum to be a fully hybridized political-military forum.

                            It's a place where both the political and military/defense enthusiast can be highly active, participating exclusively in one subject if they're not interested in the other.

                            WAB Breakdown (post %)
                            Military/Defense 45%
                            Political 35%
                            General & Other 20%
