>>8987>I propose mods buy ads on 4/pol/ and 4/mlp/ to bring in some new anons.Do the mods even post? It doesn't look like.
>>8987Make an ad worth running.
I don't think that advertising on /mlp/ has any value as they all already know about us. /pol/ would be better.
>>8989We could just repurpose one of the banners. The red menace one would work pretty well for an ad.
>>8987I'm disinclined, handing money to gookmoot and the glowzone wouldn't be my first choice, but I do enjoy seeing new banners and it's not my money.
In anyway going foward with caution.
Can I advertise my burls on /mlpol/? It's been tough since I cut my fingers off and my brother kicked me out for doing meth and playing pony life. Tired of sucking dick under the overpass in Hick Town, East Texas.
>>8992And the award for most autistic post ever made on mlpol.net goes to...
>>8993I think he's parodying someone.
>>8987>This site really is something special and I would hate to see it die.Astroturfing things are hard to do, because most people can see through them. But one thing that could be done is shaming people for still posting on 4troons. Like have a designated time to raid 4troons with meme's and laugh at them for still being there, but not actively promoting mlpol. This could be done in conjuction with other altchans.
There's a whole world of chans out there, and they're posting on a fed honeypot. If you say things that catch their attention they will have a file on you. Depending on your state, the feds might even pay you a visit. They have paid me (and my whole extended family) a visit, and I know someone who got raided. So, there's more reason than one to not post on 4troons.
I think the main hurdle is that there isn't a lot of activity here (and other altchans) to satiate terminally online people. One reason 4troons has the activity level it does, is due to a network of bots. So, altchans are severely disabled in this aspect, as I don't think admins have the resources nor do I think that bot traffic adds anything positive to a website, other than engagement farming.
I really think in order to break this cycle, the motive to engagement farm needs to end. But this is beyond the scope of getting a few more posters here. If anyone remembers how youtube was before google bought it, (or better yet the napster/aimster/winmx days) knows how much better the internet was before social media, and all the attention whoring and fake engagement hunting.
