/pone/ used to have 40 posts an hour back in October, but that used to be when the Vocaroo thread and many other serial threads were there.
After October 2014 it quickly crawled to 5-9 posts an hour and stayed that way up to this day.
What irked me about /pone/ was that they always failed at having imagination and providing content.
They couldn't decide on 1 mascot so they went with 3.
They couldn't shill subtly like /v/ did or manage to grow like /v/ and /co/, /tv/, /tech/ eventually did.
They couldn't sing their own parody of the winter wrap up song.
When some drawfag came promising them a comic book(albeit he had no idea what he was doing himself) the users of /pone/ didn't help much and kinda just ignored it till the thread 404'd and they drawfag said sorry: no interest - no comic.
When some anon kept yelling that they should do something for the Aprils Fool day or season 5 premiere they instead either ignored him or deleted his threads and told him that they don't need any new content for those special days.
Their userbase comprises of cynical people who are cynical to each other.
/pone/ is on it's sure way of becoming as slow as /anon/ where you had to wait 2 days for at least 10 posts to be made.
There's many niche boards with a specific theme and subject to it, but they always fail because of no users.
So far only /v/ managed to succeed in what it originally wanted. To get the fuck away from 4chan. It's sitting comfy right now at 3800+ users. From 1500, 2000, 3000 to 3800 and growing.
