/vx/ has been one of more freuently used boards for along time now. The board throws a wide net, attmpting to formally encompass the topics of /v/ and /x/, and informally encompass the concepts and topics of /tg/, /qst/, and arguably /vint/. While the board has seen lots of use in its days, its wide range of topics might also be to its detriment.
For starters, the concept of /vx/ began a continuation of the theme of the April 2017 prank of combined boards being ironically better than their respective parent boards. /vx/ was proposed in response to demand for players who wanted a place to discuss video games and other players who wanted a place to talk about supernatual things, as a means of giving a space for both. The thing is, while ll of the other boards were based on wordplays or jokes on behalf of the 4cuck staff, /vx/ was just kind of based on wanting to fill two niches with just one board. That was fine, as the /v/ and the /x/ posters didn't really get in eachothers way or argue, but they also didn't really interact in any notable way even f they did overlap. Many of th posters appear to stick to their handful of generals. There haven't been any memes that have emerged based on th concept of the usion of /v/ and /x/, or even /tg/ and /x/, as it appears that the concept of mixing fantasy game magic with actual magic isn't as adhesive as originally intended.
Shortly after it was created, /vx/ was coneptually expanded to include all gaming discussion, including /tg/ discussion and /qst/ style pbp roleplay threads. Those are certainly topics that this site benefits from, as all pony altchans have roleplay boards, and roleplay is banned on /mlp/ while ponies are banned everywhere else on 4chan. The roleplay threads take up the overwhelming majority of the boards posts per day, with discarded threads taking the lion's share of the board's catalog. You could even say traditional games and roleplay is the unofficial main topic of /vx/, despite it not being represented in the board's name. /vx/ certainly has a great volume rp posts, but general roleplay discussion has suffered, in part due to being suffocated by the board's other topics: it doesn't help ease of casual rp discussion when you have to first specify that you're talking about fantasy magic over actual magic, and roleplaying games instead of video games. The threads on the board that are aimed towards /tg/-style discussion don't get very many replies. The flags and IDs don't really contribute to those aspects either.
That aside, roleplay definitely has the potential to be a big thing on this site, and I'm certain that we could do better. All the other pony altchans have prolific roleplay boards, and I'm certain /pol/acks have their on unique roleplay ideas too.
Meta-wise, /vx/ is formally-blue (now red) board where posts have both flags and image IDs, similar to /mlpol/. That coflicts with the concept though, because neither /v/ nor /x/ had those components, neither are they necessary for discussion on either board.
Obviously, the inclusion of flags is a nod to /vint/, our sister board. /vint/ was one of the other April 1st 2017 board that everyone liked, being another board that several Anons demanded to have reinstated on 4chins to no avail. "She" was featured in the /mlpol/-tan comic that many of us bonded over in the /qa/ wars as they spilled into [s4s], having met /mlpol/-tan in the darkness of the deleted zone where they encountered the ravenous /z/. The flags were added to sate Anons who wanted to bring /vint/ back, although the board hasn't really satisfied the feel or appearance of the old /vint/, especially since neither /vint/ nor any of the boards it was effectively combined with featured image IDs.
Now, don't get me wrong, /vx/ is my secon favorite board after /mlpol/. I just really think this site could do
>"So what do you propose, faggot?"
I propose that /vx/, with due anticipation and announcement, should be archived in place of other board(s) that better accomodate its many topics. The boards would be separate and based on ideas that mesh together or have cultural sigificance, such as:
>/vint/ ("international vidya"): our sister board which was in high demand for ressurrecion. It already has its wn memes, and even a cute board-tan. Bringing /vint/ back would satisfy the needfor a place to discuss video games (and random pajeeting), while reaffirming this site's committment to 2017 nostalgia. The board should feature flags, but not poster IDs, in spirit of our sister board.
>/kx/ (maybe "weaponized autism"): A dangerously-based idea that was proposed as an alternative to /vx/ as early as 2017. /kx/ would be a radical and mystic hive of schizoposting, and an original hybrid board that 4chins jannies weren't brave enough to create. It would satisfy the want for /x/-tier supernatural discussion and conspiracy theories, while also providing space for this board's currently-untapped potential for gunposting and prepping. The /x/ side of /vx/ wouldn't really suffer at all from being divorced from the /tg/ and /v/ elements, and the big-schizo energy from the /k/ element of the board could serve as a huge bullet-shaped viagra to supercharge the board's discussion and create its own culture. /kx/ would have neither post IDs nor flags, as anonyity is important to it.
>/hp/ (maybe "Horseplay"?): A roleplay board that the bathhouse threads could migrate to and make their own without smothering video games discussion. A roleplay board serves to benefit a community such as ours as it facilitates creation if OCs and other content, which is why other pony altchans give them their own boards. It could also be the place for /tg/ disussion, or CYOAs. /hp/ would have neither flags nor post IDs, as none of its elements (/mlp/, /tg/, or /qst/) have them.
These are ideas I've considered for a while. I wouldn't expect them to be implemented immeditely, but perhaps you guys might take some time to warm up to the idea for the future?

You do realize that feds swarm all over anything related to 3d guns like flies on shit, don't you? Of all the places you could post firearms and general weaponry shit, why would you specifically want to do it here? There are countless other sites you could do it on rather than practically inviting bad actors here with your ass in the air and snacks on the table.
Mixing /k/ with /pol/ will lead to fedposting and gay ops that will destroy this site. You can't possibly be myopic enough to not see how readily it would be exploited.

I would like to bring to any horsefucker attention the unrelentless push to atomize /mlpol/ in a million pieces, given the size of the community, such a push will unavoidable create still more ghost boards and reduce its activity as a whole.
Take a look at the latest campaign to drive /pol/ posting out. Such a harassment campaign is not random and requires administrative action to neutralize it.

Pretty much this. Off boarders are obviously trying to pit /pol/ and /mlp/ against each other as /mlp/ is autistic and most of nu /pol/ is literally retarded.
It's seem inevitable that the site will die a slow death of a thousand cuts at this point. That's assuming the current board natives aren't smart enough to avoid the bait, which """we""" obviously aren't. It seems like the flash in the pan moment that lead to /mlpol/ may be over as times, and anons, have changed. The short bus is finally running out of gas and a lot of anons are still in denial.
It's been a fun ride at least.

I don't trust whoever wants ponies split from politics. But there can be no cool gun threads and pony gun threads until /k/ exists or gets merged with something funny.
/fitlit/ was a good idea. What was /k/ merged with back when /mlpol/ was on 4chan?

Yeah, at the very least split /v/ from the /x/. Combining tabletop/Vidya with /x/ does /x/ no justice, because it just contributes to the fake, larpy nature.
Imo, roleplay is such a large faction that it could be its own board.
Maybe split if /x/ and merge it with /k/, for /kx/ schizoposting.
Most of the catalog of /vx/ could really just be archived. It's all dead threads.

And since /vx/ is already a dead board, what would be the point in making a split? You will just end-up with 2 dead boards instead of one, like cyb, for example.

Maybe, but some other /x/philes don't appreciate having their serious discussions conflated with D&D silliness.
Similarly, some oldfags ttrpg enjoyers still remember the Satanic Panic, and don't necessarily appreciate their fantasy magic being conflated with actual occultism.
I am not s regular /x/ user, so I can't really speak for /x/, but after using /vx/ as a regular for 8 years, I haven't seen a lot of synergy.
>And since /vx/ is already a dead board, what would be the point in making a split? You will just end-up with 2 dead boards instead of one, like /cyb/
A fresh board is better than an old dead board with threads from 8 years ago. An old dead board acts like a gangrenous limb and actually quashes content creation; because new users visit the board, see that it's been dead for years, and then give up on it because they have no interest in necrobuming ancient threads made by anyone no longer present. /vx/ is especially egregious, because it has an endless catalog with old threads stating forever even though they should be archived.
With new boards, people would at least see them as a blank slate with potential to fill with their own content (at least at first), instead of an ominous graveyard better left undisturbed.
Imo, /cyb/ could just be deleted, and only be remade if anons with interest in actually posting to it request that it be made again for /g/ posting. Idk though.

>With new boards, people would at least see them as a blank slate with potential to fill with their own content (at least at first), instead of an ominous graveyard better left undisturbed.
I do agree that a board full of dead threads is not particularly interesting for anons, but a new, empty board that gets less than 10 threads a week is also not really interesting.
I see many altchans create a ton of boards, and in the end only have 1 or 2 actually active ones, I don't think mlpol has enough traffic to sub-divide discussion into many, many boards, that's my point.
Your points are valid, thought, I don't usually think much of the sensibilities of the posters because, well, I'm desensitized to it so it does not make much sense in my brain, so I got to give it to you, /tg/ would probably hate occult stuff alongside their board stuff, and /x/ schizos would hate LARP besides their 'totally very serious' occult stuff.

The mentally ill are legally prevented from owning guns. Red flag laws will get an /xk/ board shut down. I don't see why we couldn't just have a separate stand alone /k/ board in addition to /xo/. We have an /a/ board. Besides /xo/ kisses and hugs. It makes for a safe space to talk about ghosts and cars.
