They definitely don't owe it to us or anything to mention us, but that would be the only way to attract new people again.
Your point is well taken, but this isn't exactly true. I discovered this board by using Google. A Google search for "free beer and hot wings forum" brings this board up as the third hit--ahead of the official show forum. Interestingly (and quite relevant to this conversation), the first two hits point to the old one on ProBoards.
If you search for just "free beer and hot wings," the only hit on the first page for any forum is the one at ProBoards. If you search for "free beer and hot wings message board," this forum is the fifth hit, behind a couple for the one on the show's web site.
