Your substantial scientific investigation and subsequent conclusion is iron clad dear sir. Perhaps I should address you as Dr. Povol. So to recap, nobody started a thread on a depleted forum during the off-season; conclusion: proof positive nobody gives a .... about Moto2. Case closed, not even a theory but rather codified scientific law. Unrelated of course, it was yourself that had to start a thread about the most recent MotoGP test less than a solitary day before the long awaited and anticipated winter testing ban was lifted, apropos ironically titled: "Testing starts tomorrow" something of a last minute reminder of sorts, given that, well nobody had actually started a thread; otherwise I doubt anybody would have opened one at all, which frankly is anemic in its participation and scope...perhaps nobody here gives a .... about MotoGP either, eh? I'll have to think about this, as my faculties of reasoning are not a keenly sophisticated as yours, clearly. Perhaps I will solicit the aid of the worlds foremost scientists to prepare and develop an experiment to test a possible explanation.
A few things to consider given your hypothesis and meticulously crafted and executed experiment. Which was accomplished with quite the impulse control I may add, given your highly publicized but mildly infamous declaration to boycott MotoGP. A protest objection that has rendered a complete black out to all things MotoGP since the inception of the CRT of which spawned your call to action declaring your boycott of the sport, well except for this small matter of your constant and uninterrupted monitoring of the series, not limited to actually attending events. Notwithstanding, Im not questioning the validity and deduction of your splendidly conducted experiment and its findings, surely to be published simultaneously in the Harvard, Princeton, and CalTech journals of scientific investigation; however, I would humbly submit to you the following:
First, consider that it is in fact the off-season. Interest in such matters tend to wane during this period and is evidenced by a recurring cycle every year only since the establishment of the forum. Second, the severity of such waning has been exacerbated further given the forum is under new management, which has shown to censor its participants, something that has resulted in some loss of appeal to a once unique caucus prompting less interest in participation. The new management (if we can call it that) has shown to hold its sole interest on its metric of site hits to be pooled together with an array of other internet sites for the purpose of selling the potential of audience to vendors. Thirdly, we already had one test where many questions have been answered whereby the second test provided little to no revelations. That is, answers to questions which our infamous 'Insider' combined with a peculiar endorsement had sparked interest, which since have been debunked. The presumption being that no news results in little to no chatter. And finally, there is a high likelihood that MotoGP fans follow Moto2 with similar enthusiasm, but these individuals understand which of the two categories is the Big Show. Perhaps one might employ a bit of prudence when considering such extrapolated reasoning by supposing as you have that no threads must mean no interest in the close and exciting nature of Moto2 racing. Revisiting the fact 'you' started the thread for the last MotoGP test in the absence of one, we might imagine had you applied your own rigorous parameters of, as you put it "waiting and waiting and waiting" to see if anybody would open a thread to signal interest. Its a good thing you did open a thread on the matter, on the cusp just hours before the scheduled event, "providing" there is in fact interest for MotoGP. Because, using your logic, had 'you' not opened a thread, it would have proved there is no interest in MotoGP. Stellar logic backed up by evidence: check. Well, its in MotoGP threads, as you disclosed, where fans express fondness for Moto2, that series that apparently is not popular according to your conclusion; but oddly keeps being discussed in threads of the première category.
You sir, have indeed aided in "Proving a point".
