I see.
I don't really know how to start an board from zero. Well, maybe you can supply the first batch of images, there's that saying "if you make it they will come" or something like that.
Tho I'm not sure how substantial is the demand for porn/erotic boards here on Endchan. As soon as 8ch/8kun comes back most users will leave and maybe a two dozen will remain all in all. And even until then most people are fine with the one board they visit (for example not many NEETS or qanons post elsewhere but their favored board).
>Maybe anons don't actually want problems solved because they just like to bitch?
That sounds like a fair assumption, yes.
>I'd be disappointed
Don't be, think of it as a test. You learn something out of it. Now you know how to create a board here for example. And maybe you can make other conclusions. For example if someone wants a board you reply to him with the suggestion that you two should make one (so it won't be an initiative of only one person) and ask in general if others would want such board, this way maybe the demand can be measured a little better. But main thing, that the complainers should get a reply to their posts and not just see them, leave them, make something than after that trying to chase them down.

Also much depends on numbers, just as in real life: if you have a product you can only sell it if large enough of potential customers see it and know about it. But on small chans, the number of potential posters is pretty low.
And it's not easy to attract new users to an imageboard. From what I see users tend to congregate on chans with large userbase to begin with, and them don't really wander around except if they have no choice.

One thing is also worth considering when opening a new board: even if there's a demand, maybe it would be enough to make a thread specialized just for that theme on an already existing board which allows that theme there. For example a generic porn board, or even /b/ is fine for it. This solution has the advantage that you can choose a board with an existing userbase. Then if fair amount of people posting in that thread, it has enough attention, you might make a suggestion what if you guys would make a whole board for it. But again for this Endchan might not be a good IB to start, and just keeping to that thread would be more than enough.
