>>7370 >Hello. I'm trying to keep in touch with all the stragglers of /pone/.
/endpone/ user number 23, letter: L, reporting in.
>This is the first board I've seen of our various stragglers and offshoots that is alive and organized. alive... about that... you know, for many, this board is dead but as I stated in my previous post >>7369, death has become truly bored with /endpone/. I would change the terms and say this board is constantly hibernating, gets a few ups and peaks of activity and then, stay dormant for the most part.
>I know this place has its own culture but my I use it as a emergency rally point/coordination with other anons? I will have to wait for Bridgefag´s response but we do have alternative boards as well in this same site.
But...I think that the point of reviving 8/pone/ doesn´t consist in just activity. Activity is the means to an end and the objective of trying to replace /mlp/ was setting the bar too high for its own good. Nothing can replace /mlp/.
If you want to revive it, you don´t need what you assume that you want to achieve. You only need ideas, compromise and see where it goes with a more proper approach of 8kun´s instances. If this board has taught me something is that few loyal users (even via circlejerking slowly) can keep a board slightly active over time than seeking the hype and the stardom with the numbers in terms of activity. 8/pone/ seems to be more obsessed with the competition against /mlp/ so, good luck at trying to offer an appealing alternative that gets to beat it.
My advice from the experience that I have had with this side project since 2017: focus on creating the board that you want to see and have fun among yourselves instead of getting obsessed with /mlp/. Don´t get disappointed if you cannot achieve the projects that you want to do, just focus on the road and what you can personally offer. If you look for success as the main objective, you will meet death as other alternative boards did in the past. But again, I haven´t handled any competitive imageboard that wants to fight against /mlp/ so, I am not a valid person for giving any valuable advice for this ambitious purpose.
