How do we make this board more popular? I really like this board and would like to use it more, but it' extremely slow. I've heard people say that they like the slow pace, but personally I'm not a fan of it. A somewhat slow board is fine but usually it takes maybe a day to generate a thread with at the most 5 replies, an abhorrently slow speed.
Should we start advertising the board on other boards, or should we take another approach?
Or am I just in the completely wrong mindset and should just accept that the board is really slow?
2f0a17 No.2891
Yeah, maybe advertisement on relevant boards would work.
Philosophy is just such a niche, man.

The level of internet autism is directly proportional to the population level.
I'd love more activity too, but the way to get it is to advertise it to people who are interested in these topics to begin with.

This reminds me of so much elitist philosophy. How can we depend on the masses?

That board is a hotbed for consumers of popular culture. Minds that embrace fiction, not logic.

Maybe politics boards? /liberty/, /pol/, and /leftypol/, from what I've seen on either board, have frequent philosophy threads.
>>2898
That place looks rather dead.
921e93 No.2903
>>2892
Why not /his/? I really like /his/. They've got plenty of posters there as well, compared to us at least. A board that isn't dead that is sure to round up some good posters.

Religious boards including Atheism?

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe even /islam/

I guess I'll send them a notification or something.

More popular just means more pseudo-intellectuals.
2f0a17 No.2911
I've hit /atheism/, /christ/, /his/ and /islam with adverts. Now we wait, or drop more.

True, I agree with the more users, the more autism, but as long as we can generate some worthwhile discussion that is at some kind of pace than that's worth not having to wait maybe a week to get 30 replies on one thread

Should we go for more popular boards?
2f0a17 No.2914

I believe the adverts will just slide to oblivion.

/liberty/ is a fairly slow board but gets more traffic than here, at least. One of the three major politics boards here on fullchan.
Maybe them?

I'm not sure this is such a good idea.

Eitherway, whatever you guys do, do NOT invite /pol/, /leftypol/, /christian/, etc.
Also, I wish we had "flags" for philosophical schools and stuff. That'd be stylish.

Heavy advertisement or maybe merge with /his/?
4e7db6 No.2943
>>2935
Yeah that's what I was thinking. There are pretty much no "logos" for philosophies and so forth. On leftypol, one of the "flags" is a Marx head so I suppose you could just use Plato, Aristotle, etc. heads to represent a wider school or something but honestly idk. However that would work, I would love it.
139717 No.2945
>>2943
maybe we could just use a philosopher head for each flag and rather than use philosophy school flags, we simply use philosopher names? thoughts?

These are great, but how exactly do we add them without the BO?

>>2982
Won't be possible. You have to go into board settings for that.
While we wait, any ideas of more flags I should make? I don't want to make too many. I want to go for ones that are as broad as possible since chances are if there are too many there will be multiple flags one could fit into and they'd be forced to choose one above all.

Is the BO even around though? Does he even moderate the board?

Maybe a flag that represents Transcendental Idealism? (Basically a Kant flag)
Phenomenology flag?
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle faces?

Can't thank you enough for making all this OC by the way. Great flags.

I don't know him nor have I seen him in action. Why do some boards have "Board Owner" and volunteer or whatnot next to their posts and others don't?
83e2da No.2988
>>2987
Well that's just the thing. I'm not even sure if we have active moderators or board owners. We can't really add any of these without a BO or Volunteers.
4e7db6 No.2991
>>2988
I know we have moderators of some kind because they made that shitposting thread, but idk about anything else.
146e30 No.2999
>>2991
Well I'll definitely save these flags if the mods do show up. Also, the anons over at /his/ were talking about merging out two boards.
>shitposting thread
What shitposting thread? The Stirner shitposting thread, or?
4e7db6 No.3000
>>2999
I saw it. I am not such a fan of the idea. History and philosophy are too distinct imo, and the humanities are far too broad. I would prefer if they stayed separate but had a concurrent userbase.
