>>7374 >endpone/'s model works for a small number of users but I think in order to retain the various scattered anons who look in boredom as they wander various altchans dissatified with the current pickings you're going to need to give 8/pone/ a reason besides expecting them to post out of sheer based loyalty. Make some OC. You need to take the first step and establish something before others will follow.
totally. Besides, 8kun is doomed by nature to set higher standards than any other alternative altchan because of its fame and a richer track record than the rest of the imageboards (save /mlp/ and maybe, Ponychan) It´s supposed to create a different trend that will have to mark, not only the board itself but an special appeal that draws other anons with different interests.
Guessing the right formula and pull it off seamlessly...I admit, I would admire and respect the geniuses who manage to find the proper reset button and get away with it. As you have said, /endpone/ works because of its small number and the lack of ambitious goals (dominated by a down to earth mentality) so its formula cannot be applied in the exact same way that would be required for 8kun. One would have to find a twist that actually fits and works out for them but holding a huge appeal that consists in the obsessive reliance of pursuing a greater activity...it doesn´t work out either.
>>7377 >Thanks for the advice and info. you´re welcome.
>i'm reevaluating plans and I'm not sure if I'll set up a thread here. May just dump all the info into a paste and just link it around. take your time at how you want to approach it because this board, while slow and very laid-back, it´s not going anywhere (as long as Odilitime doesn´t forget to pay the monthly fee for the servers)
>This place is comfy. I think this board makes a good board outright and will keep it on my radar as a potential bunker or another home to recommend to lost wandering anons if /pone/ dies but only some type of anons would like it here do to its bar like atmosphere.
well, the comfy nature can disappear overnight. It´s pretty easy to mess it up with spam and become a sudden killjoy, spoiling the atmosphere. I would say that it has happened to be comfy because of its awareness at not aiming for high stakes and not being on the radar of chan users who only seek for activity (or I could simply say that we´ve been lucky but that doesn´t foresee anything). This board isn´t for everyone and I don´t mean it with either an exclusive or elitist tone. It´s just that people, as you say, except for the atmosphere, not many candidates would spark any interest for a backwater place like this one.
