Challenge: AH.com in alternate timelines (with PODs after 2000)

PODs after 2000 because that was when the board was founded. I.e. these are supposed to be vaguely realistic, rather than the fun convergent ones where we still have an AH.com debating current issues after the Muslims won at Tours or something ;)

How would the board be different in content, layout, culture, political discussion, etc., if events after 2000 had been different? This might be world events, like elections going a different way, or local events, such as Jared never writing DoD or Doctor What not temporarily dying.

Suggest some PODs and their outcomes...

If this gets too political, it can be moved to PC.
 
Yeah, AH.COM really collapsed after the Exodus to the Promised Forum of Alternia. Now it's just the sad, sad home to the spammers and banned of Alternia, forever plagued by a poor membership. Alternia OTOH... well, it even got time on the Coulter Report for proving that Reality has a Conservative Bias! That's just classy.

I blame Glen.

Oh well, at least it's not another successful Barbarossa thread...

Hey! I'm not the one that started that Cult of Glenology! Just because I told you about that silly t-shirt, and then that other stuff went down....

And as to the recent comments about having threads started in chat count towards the thread count, absolutely not! This is an Alternative History site, and threads in the Discussion section indicate contributions to that, whereas chat is just good times! Granted, I do think we ought to follow the policy of combining all those r_n threads into one so that he's not in the top ten, even though he's banned. And I'm not just saying these things because I have the highest thread count! Can I help it if I think in terms of multiply branching timelines that require multiple threads to keep straight!

Hey, could be worse. We could have used post count (sheesh!)....:rolleyes:

Hmmm, on the more serious side....

The thwarting of the 9-11 plot leads to a slew of What If 9-11 happened threads on AH.com, of varying degrees of quality....
 
Interesting...

What if competing boards were more successful and more like AH.com?

AH.com could have gone by the wayside...
