>>43368I've had a thread or two that was getting traction on /siberia/ moved to the "appropriate" hobby board for that topic, at which point it immediately died. That's one problem: the other problem is that boards are still being added long after it was clear that without a plan or a real community asking for them or anything like that, they will go nowhere.
26 people, tops, used /lgbt/ and in the last
week and only 5 used /labor/.
even if no boards are deleted, the lesson has to be learned that no new boards should be created unless there's a
real plan to make a success of them: another site shutting down, a community that's been exiled, a topic that's so massively popular that it's flooding /leftypol/ or /siberia/, etc. you could even consider something really out there, like socdem flag's proposal of allowing autonomous admin/moderation of the existing dead boards, empowering someone to try to make a success of them without being distracted by keeping /leftypol/ itself running. but for the love of god, don't add more boards on a whim. at the current rate by 2040 the top bar will have picked up /woodworking/ and /birdwatching/ and /midcenturyaustrianliberalism/ boards which are visited precisely once, by an admin, to verify that they've been created correctly.
plus this
