>>6884>>6888Fucking an actual horse does not makes you better than a furry fucking the family dog.
>>6920You can just leave if you expect monetary transactions to take place in the pit of slime.
Honestly, mlpol, as well as any other small chans is just doomed to be slow, why? Because:
>>6866>of the Social Media Effect. Chan sites, like all social media of any kind, are naturally occurring monopolies, because people want to go where other people already are.I don't think taking something away is going to bring any more traffic at all.
From my personal experience, having seen this board rise from atlas setting up an HTTP site and an anon calling it a honeypot, there is three problems:
1 - You need a focus to attract people and it has to be compatible with current boards
You wanna attract "traffic" but tell me, what the fuck is traffic?
Zoophiles?
Bronies?
Horsefuckers?
/pol/tards?
You can't attract them all at the same time, no matter what you do. Some groups like ponyfags and /pol/tards naturally repel each-other for many reasons, those who can stand the pony are the true good people but those are fucking rare, hence why the main board has such a small population.
/pol/ is mostly filled with pre-teens and motherfuckers that can't even read two paragraphs before screaming DA JOOZ, of course they wont be able to see past the ponies.
And even if you give a board a focus, like /a/ why would /a/ people post here instead of the much bigger, much older alternative that is 4chin?
4chin is shit, but it is bearable shit, you must give users a reason to post here and not there, and obviously "better mods and community" is not good enough of a reason.
2 - It is a social suicide to be found posting here
I love you guys, i have had some real good arguments here, i learnt a lot on my time posting here and i even made a ton of threads on /ub/ i actually improved my life quite a lot from posting here.
But even if i did, i know no one must ever know i post on /mlpol/ because if there is one thing normies hate is <le evil natzeez> and believe me i don't wanna lose my job because i like having an actual conversation in the political sperging horseforum.
3 - The internet has changed
Face it guys, the only reason 4chin is populated is because it's this "mythical" imageboard that's known to be full of lulz.
Mlpol is nowhere on the map, most people think it was a fun april 1st joke that died April 2nd and those who don't understand mlpol's board culture like this faggot
>>6876 simply get confused and don't seem to really care enough to understand why things are the way they are.
Even if the site got traffic, it will most likely be mostly normies that wont stick for long.
The world is moving and imageboards are slowly becoming an archaic thing of the past, people don't understand how they work nor they care to know, they just wanna hop-in, shit and have fun as if every imageboard ever was /b/
I have been guilty of not posting as much here, but i have not been posting
anywhere on the internet for a few years now, just chatting with friends and studying/youtube.
The internet is just not that fun these days, when fun things happen they are usually temporary, and well, posting here is usually not that fun (not that other imageboards/social media are better in any way, they are also boring)
The reason i keep coming back here is because of quality, no other imageboard manages to have as many quality per post as mlpol.net, so that's a huge strongpoint for the board, yet a hard to market strongpoint.
