what you have posted right here is one of the most devastating things that one could imagine about an imageboard. This isn´t simply about the announced death that everyone would claim whenever one slows down or barely posts on a site...
this,however, as displayed right here >>7389, is an actual death (with all the letters) because the chances for attempting to revive it again are either incredibly minimal or basically, non-existent. The most shocking part out of this is that...
>>7389 >I know that was your old stomping ground and it must hurt. not only it was the old site that he would resort to quite often in the past, it´s the fact that we have all forgotten that 8/pone/ created this board as a refuge because of the Infinitychan test (the servers of 8chan didn´t work for a while so this was the place where exiled users would meet until 8/pone/ would work again. /endpone/ was...basically the illegitimate child that was quickly forgotten except for CB and who knows if the 8/pone/ lurkers remember about this place. The joke here consists in the fact that this represents a weird case in which the son outlives the father, even if the former tries to revive the latter. You don´t see this very often when it comes to imageboards.
We had seen /8pone/´s death in the past with the 8chan´s block (the conversion to 8kun) but I never imagined that the board would absolutely cut off any chances to give it a breath of fresh air in the future. It has become completely sterile for any further development/change coming from the userbase.
>/8pone/ literally doesn't exist anymore. What you're seeing now is a moment frozen in time of what was, but is no more. at least, the boards that disappear or give you the verification that said places are technically dead, at least, we wouldn´t have any hopes and people wouldn´t focus on worrying about them. However, this freezing state gives unnecessary hopes that something could be done and outsiders/nostalgic users spend energies on an illusion that, the more you dig, the more you realize that you are seeing a corpse (but in this case, it´s bleached and withered) but until you reach that point, you grow more disappointed and spend efforts on something that is useless.
