A pity - something that suddenly quintuplies the traffic to your site has value.

Only if you get something positive out of it. Banner ads don't pay for a site, and the point of the site (atheism, basically) has nothing to do with the thread.

The thread was so popular (and linked to from so many places) that it had 160,000 visitors before they shut it down.

They're just a poor little organization, and there's nothing in it for them to have that many visitors (locking their own regulars out due to bandwidth issues) who neither learn what the org is about nor provide any financial support.

Failed Concentration checks could result in casting burning elbows.

Human visitors to the gnome school of Illusionists would be well-advised to mind their heads.

When the half-orc gets into the party's bean supply, it is wise to keep your options open.

A well-timed Colour Spray can help you steal the eyes from someone's head.

I didn't mean that it had value for that particular site. But they could have gathered up all of them, reformatted them eliminating board code and other useless stuff, slapped them on some ad-hoc domain, and added a bazillion ads. Since the whole thing would take very little time, almost no server space, and relatively little bandwidth (only the text and a few of the images are from the site, the rest is leeched from the DoHS - not very ethical, but not illegal either), the ads would probably pay. Keep it up for a month until the fad calms down, and they could have gained a few bucks which could be useful for their true, serious services.

Or maybe not.
