How do we make /am/ popular?
No.22780
>>22778
I think /am/ is fine as it is, but I guess you could find a way to attract /a/'s userbase. Force conflict between the boards or something.

No, anon.
The way to making it popular is to steadily create content that attracts others here, and share it with other boards to get them to visit.
That is how /monster/ slowly made their way up to the top 25. Well, that and their movie nights. Having some tea-party-like event in the same way /baphomet/ did might work. Maybe a funpost mosh pit event or something.
/am/ essentially just needs to work on establishing more of an identity for itself. It has a lot to choose from in that regard, and a lot of potential, so don't give up and go down a dark route again, like what happened with proxy spam ages back that had only good short-term effects but no good long-term effects.
You gave me the greatest calzone I have ever tasted, /am/. So long as I continue to remember its taste, I will always be convinced you can rise above h/a/te.
No.22789
Something recurring. If you have to come to a specific place to keep enjoying it people will come and stay on their own. Look at /monster/. Small enough that it's not shit but has enough recurring content to sustain itself. It doesn't have to be CYOA stuff, it could just be a thread with something worth discussing over the long term. Classify thread types by trying things out then people will make them on their own.

We're barely 10 people, if we were suddenly 150 then we wouldn't be /am/ anymore.
We'd have to be very dedicated to teach all the new users about the ways of dogposting.

/am/ with 150 UIDs would be absolutely unrecognizable, especially since that would put us in the top 25 and the top 25 boards all have pretty much the same culture.

There's no way we were ever that many, wasn't that just because of the tea parties and proxy spam? I mean we did become top 25 at one point, even above /a/ if I'm not mistaken.
No.22840
We don't. It's not worth advertising a board because it usually just leads to a few spergs spamming the board and at worst holding a grudge for no reason and doing it constantly. It's even difficult to casually namedrop it on other chans because there is a stigma against 8ch being cancer.
We should just stay hidden. If you have any decent weeb friends, tell them, that's the only hope for real growth.

We really need some dedicated /am/ chan, then we could advertise ourselves as just another /a/jp/ spinoff chan and gather a small but constant userbase.

No. That's the same thing that fucked /am/ over into being smaller than /a/ in the first place. It doesn't do anything in the long-term to secure users. You need to continue to make new content that you share with the rest of the site that brings in people.
