/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!
