2.Secondly, let´s check the traffic for you to get even successful in this site (not saying that Alexa should be taken as the miracle drug but it´s approximate and serves as a point of reference to illustrate what I am trying to convey):

4channel (SFW version of 4chan): #1567 https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/4channel.org
8kun: #33.621 https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/8kun.top
Endchan: #1,165,661 (at its best, it reached around the range of #800.000-900.000) : https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/endchan.net

So relatively speaking, your chances of drawing more users are undeniably tied to the rank and general popularity of the whole imageboard. Very basic argument I know, but if you don´t have assumed that the amount of users who visit this site is tiny and the chances to draw any new ones are pretty scarce to begin with, then you can cry me a river and throw thousands of posts out there in the catalog, but that won´t work for balancing the numbers. /endpone/ has always stayed at the top 20 (top 15) of the boardlist. Since 2018, it has always stayed there and just because you get into the top 10 more often, it doesn´t make a big difference.

3.Even if Endchan was popular, in 4chan, there are boards that get a ridiculous amount of low activity. Look at /po/ (papercraft and origami) or even a slightly famous board like /out/ (that has threads which can last months) and the mentality of those boards has nothing to do with the 4chan canon style of shitposting. Even by getting huge amounts of traffic, this doesn´t guarantee that outsiders will come at this board just because of being next to each other. People have very clear ideas of what boards one should visit and lurk. Perhaps there will be a fraction of people who will wander around and hop onto several ones out of interest but for an altchan that has like 25 active boards (in terms of getting one single post daily), don´t think that there is much room to do so.

Your thesis is based alone on bringing the activity on this board... Does that mean anything in the long run? Because you have to engage those users somehow, they won´t stay forever if you don´t do something compelling for them. Except for the consistency (which is a legitimate way to see its survival), your views on being obsessed by staying active just because of activity... has a few holes to consider.

>I always had loyalty to 8/pone/, though I was under the impression that this was initially created as a backup board and it was always my contingency plan. I never knew of /mlpol/ until recently, so I left before its creation...I think?
alright, so considering that you have blurry memories about the project, then I am going to conclude that you weren´t involved in this site back in 2016.
