/late/ - Late Nights

last time i checked it was around 13 and it felt like it was slowly growing; did /boards/ die?

>>3473

Offhand reference? I'm curious now.

We can only subtly shill. Refer people to our music thread perhaps. I trust our /late/ anons to not expose us to trouble.

>>3476

The fact that such an incredibly niche board with so little to say/talk about is not totally abandoned only shows that our crew really cares about this place.

Active users means jack. Some boards that have been active since last year have never breached two digits.

No. No 'shilling'. No advertising. Only mention it when it's relevant and interesting. Re-direct people who are a good fit and are interested.

This should not have to be said.

> Only mention it when it's relevant and interesting. Re-direct people who are a good fit and are interested.

this is probably the best way to handle it; the active users are back up to 13 again so its more than likely they have been either not posting as much or just too busy.

>it reminds me of a cozy all-night diner.

the thing i love about /late/ is that it has an atmosphere to it.

We need more discussion threads, maybe encourage replies. People leave if there's no attention or activity. But otherwise I'll see about directing some anons this way.

This board is okay, it has that piquant emphasis on melancholy that night-time typically imbues the world. Now, rationally it''s merely the absence of the sun but humans process space & time emotionally.

Maybe emphasize that feeling connected to night-time then? The feeling of unease that spreads out as evening lurks.

That is correct. I would assume there are a good number of lurkers like myself who don't show up in the stats. Make no mistake, no post here goes unseen or unappreciated.

This isn't a board that really needs mass usage. The kind of people who understand the feeling of night-time, in my case buying a lamp with a dimmer to pretentiously accentuate a chiaroscuro of shadows, will not be common shit-posters.
