Promotion, pure and simple.

It's interesting to see what happens when you put analytical, data-driven, break-it-sooner-than-later-so-you-can-fix-it FIRSTers alongside the hype and promotion of a major event such as a concert or a TV special. Especially in CD where we ignore, red rep, and/or publicly chastise posters who hype/promote themselves, their team, or their standing.

Really interesting. I think, overall, we're doing pretty good in riding this wave.
