/meta/ - Site Discussion

Nice of you to visit!
I hadn't heard of Megidochan before, but it seems like a cool little active altchan! I used to read homestuck as it was updating like 10 years ago. I might lurk around a bit.

This site doesn't really have a purpose lol, it was created on a whim.
Some friends and I were having a discussion about the decline of forums and distinctive little sites with their own feel and community in favor of huge consolidated social media spaces (Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc), and so a couple of us decided it would be fun to set up our own microsites, even if realistically they would get almost no traffic or adoption. I made this imageboard and one of my friends made a little phpbb forum, though it looks like that forum is down now.

not op but i think if this site had more boards it would have potential

Hm, to be honest, I haven't seriously attempted to grow it at all, so there's probably a lot I could do to improve it.

I actually deliberately started with just two boards because I was worried that spreading the already small amount of posts we get across a bunch of overly-specific boards would make the site seem even more inactive.
On the other hand, I guess this current format runs the risk of people not really knowing what to post about (anything/everything within site guidelines is encouraged), whereas more specific boards would give people a starting point.

I subscribe to the fewer boards camp, enough to count on one hand is safe.

No more boards!

Cool!

I’m kinda team 1 board ngl. Also might not come back some time, that’s how it’s been for me with most altchans, I post a lil and like it but eventually get distracted.

yeah it doesn't really make sense to have new boards when there aren't enough people to populate them...
you can talk about any of ur interests in the main board!!! and if it somehow becomes super popular and loads of people start talking about it then maybe it would need a board of its own. but that sounds like something that would take a whiiilllleee >.<
