1% of the Triangle (~ 2 million people) would translate to about 20,000 C-D "regular" viewers. I'm thinking it's waaaaaay less than that.

If OP posted in the WRAL Comment section....that's a different story.

Especially if the alleged tailgater was one of those angry ranty types....WRAL comment section is a magnet for them.

Most people who move to the area likely stumble upon this forum at some point. The question is how often do they return.

I'm sure the moderators have data on unique visitors.

There are actually only 18 unique visitors here.
17 citizens and one troll with 18,026 user names.

Most? As in a majority of the people who relocate to the Triangle? No way.

City-Data is very well indexed on Google - again I think you'd be surprised, but who knows.

I try to get more people/maybe just lurkers to this site - I tell friends/family to come here and do searches and read to get basic information.
I send my clients to this website but most get turned off by the negativity.

Other than the regular Realtors that post on here, there are other Realtors that hide in the shadows and will send PMs to others. My clients don't like to be bothered!

This was the first website & forum that I encountered when Raleigh was a glimmer in my mind almost 4 years ago. The stats on this area are hard to ignore.

Doesn't surprise me. I've sent people here and warned them ahead of time. If you don't know what forums can be like, it's eye opening.

Dunno, compared with some forums I've been on this one is Disney World.

That's a Good Thing.

Especially this section of it. It's the good.

Head on over to the "General US" section of C-D and get a look at the bad

Then head on down to the "Politics and Other Controversies" section and see the uuuuggggggly.
