>>9526 >How many people daily are we talking about? I count activity in posts per week and I consider 150 per week to be a minimum threshold. A minimum, not something I'm happy with mind you. At this point I'd like to see around 300 and we do get near that value at times (most often when new people discover this board), but it usually lasts 2-3 weeks and then drops back.

>>9540 and also this thread for the past week: https://youtu.be/jskq3-lpQnE?t=127

>>9540 Thanks, should be enough so here's >>9547. BO you're also invited to chill and play, I know running stuff all the time can be thankless.

>>8814 I hope I am not saying anything stupid but I liked the results of the experiment and I want to talk about it. It feels like the topics of the many dead threads have a purpose now and the less popular species get attention and engagement, even if it's as small as just being noticed in a post. I won't name names but I used to frequent a different monster board before I came here and there was a bunch of threads that just went ignored regularly. You could post in them and maybe they would get a little bit of engagement but that was rare and they would just fall back down the catalog while the same few popular threads floated at the top. The OC threads were not very healthy either. People silently consume the content or, due to the board culture, get very critical and angry and push away potential contributors and those threads once more fall down the catalog. This experiment makes everything feel useful and gives potential new anons a good idea of what they can expect from this board, filtering bad ones and enticing good ones. I feel like people complaining about the merging of many threads into one probably don't know what it was like to exclusively prefer the less popular threads or species with limited fanart and engagement. The holstaur thread I used to enjoy was hardly the most popular for how often it just falls through the catalog and felt like it was reduced to one guy and a yeti thread, one I wanted to post in more but already saw most of the limited fanart posted there, would get nothing new. I didn't help matters because I couldn't think of many things to say either. Compared to that this feels faster and more inclusive to the other species while allowing conversations to naturally drift between topics and promote more conversation, the natural favoritism of anons and various artists around the internet is not as much of a detriment now. I don't want to make any accusatory statements but I feel like a lot of anons who are upset don't know what it's like to run a board and have so much unused space. Their goals are not aligned with making everything available useful without cluttering things. Sure, having threads for every species is organized but a thread about, for example, Cu Siths or Zombies that gets posted in twice a year at best and lays forgotten at the bottom of the catalog is just a waste. Those posts are more noticeable in a general thread. Part of why 4chan's monster threads on /d/ have life, other than the obvious larger userbase of 4chan, is because they have very few monster girl threads on that board. It's all concentrated. Dividing a small userbase in 20 different directions just risks keeping them divided if they have the freedom to go to what thread they like with no incentive to check other threads. I know this was poorly formatted but I felt a little passionate for how many people I have seen are angry about a change which amounts to posts being noticed and replied to more often, or at least that is how I saw it. I also think prompts for OC threads are a good idea. I would like to suggest giving the OC anons long deadlines to be friendly to beginners or perfectionists so that nobody feels intimidated by a potential lack of time and a foundation of creators can be made. I think a month would be very generous but maybe that is too much. As the userbase and number of creators and their skill grows then perhaps the deadlines can be shortened.

>>9552 Holy molly that wall of text, you are unironically the kind of anon I was missing all that time. Not much to argue because you are pretty much saying exactly what I'm thinking, but I'll outline some fragment so others (hopefully) understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. >I won't name names but I used to frequent a different monster board before I came here and there was a bunch of threads that just went ignored regularly Yeah and I want to avoid being their cheap copy. In their case having all those threads aren't that much of an issue because in addition they have regular activity in their creative threads where most appear to congregate, not so much here. >while allowing conversations to naturally drift between topics and promote more conversation Yes that's literally the entire point. I've spent most of my free time for the past 5 years in the combined monster girl threads on 4chan and the forced variety was the best thing about them. My own tastes greatly evolved thanks to having to interact with anons who are into different types and on a board with full segregation I'd never even think I'm into such monster girl types - because I wouldn't bother visiting those threads or I'd just scroll through without giving it much thought. It does inevitably lead to arguments, but the arguments can lead to interesting discussions as >>9457 said. Plus unlike on 4chan these arguments can be cut short if they really get out of hand, as opposed to relying on useless 4jannies. To me it feels that the controversy comes from anons who either never experienced having an actual active community built around this silly fetish and default to generic porn board mode, or from those who had bad experiences with such places and only want to retire and cultivate their own little private gardens without interacting much. In two of the /d/ monster girl threads I attended I've seen anons outright say they don't even want any kind of community and given that we initially started on /d/... Also, this fragmentation we had until now is actually unintended. I wanted to give anons the potential to segregate themselves if needed, eg. break away if either their favorite topic starts dominating a larger thread (like foxes did when we were one thread on /d/) or they keep seeing something they don't like. Instead newcomers fell into the pipeline of >"I want to talk about {x} girl" >"So I will make a thread about her" >+1 dead thread many won't even see I remember someone making a duplicate horse girl thread because they didn't even notice we had one already. I guess it was partially my fault for leaving too much to others to figure out, should have made it more clear at the beginning. Of course special purpose threads like those for creative content are absolutely needed regardless of that. Still, I have to think this through. I can't just ignore all the opposition and this could be a make or break moment for the board. > I would like to suggest giving the OC anons long deadlines IMO 2 weeks would be optimal at this stage. For now there's the anxiety that nobody participates and I think things can snowball forward when we overcome this initial barrier. The greentext thing was a good start.

>>9531 This is great, thanks >>9554 2 weeks is fine for greentexts but if things pick up and we allow anubis.moe style novellas I'd want more time. As far as the general I think it's gotten a lot better over the last 5-6 days, don't know if that's people taking what you said to heart or just luck but if it stays this way I'm for it.

This experiment has been a disaster for my motivation to post here. I'm already a lurker for most of the time but these extra limitations make me want to post even less frequently than before.

>>9589 >>9590 the duality of anon

>>9590 I'm honestly struggling to wrap my head around his - how does having one combined thread demotivates you to post? You can post exactly the same things in the same quantity you would before, except you don't even have to decide whether to do it in the general thread or in one of the dozen (mostly dead threads) threads.

>>9589 >2 weeks is fine for greentexts but if things pick up and we allow anubis.moe style novellas I'd want more time Anon running the prompts here. This is actually why the deadline is considered a "soft deadline", like a suggestion more than anything else. If you really like an idea you're working on, keep working on it! At that point, future prompts could be additional ideas you can add to your story, versus something you use to build from the ground up.

>>9597 nta, but personally knowing that there's some arbitrary rules in the air is super annoying. Second guessing "what is okay to post?" isn't why I (or most other people) use anonymous imageboards. >>9554 I assume you're the BO, so here's an idea: after the threads get unlocked, just find the threads you think are too dead and only make a post (using the "board owner" tag) there asking anons to maybe post in the general thread. Same could work in reverse, if some species would be over-represented in the general, ask them to "split" into a specialised thread.

>>9606 >Second guessing "what is okay to post? But that's not the case, nothing has changed when it comes to posting stuff. It's a purely organizational change and that's why I'm so confused that some anons are acting like I'm banning anything. Even then, if I do decide to push on with the current change it's not necessarily permanent. I'm more than happy to have the full thread making freedom again, just that current activity levels don't support it. >after the threads get unlocked, just find the threads you think are too dead and only make a post (using the "board owner" tag) there asking anons to maybe post in the general thread. I'll keep that in mind for potential alternative solutions. But IMO all of them are too dead and often most of the replies to new posts in them were by me to prevent the board from looking like a ghost town with just image dumping. Succubus one was the fastest and still it took it 6 months to start nearing the bump limit, it could easily be part of a general thread without dominating too much. >if some species would be over-represented in the general, ask them to "split" into a specialised thread. That's what I said in the beginning. Fox thread is just the first one to be split away because it was already over represented in the past (during /d/ times) and this caused significant issues. Others would eventually follow. but so far no other thread came close to that point.

>>9590 Why? There isn't even limitations, it's just keeping things organized, you can keep posting what ever species you want. >>9606 >Second guessing "what is okay to post?" What did you have in mind? Most things were clearly listed in the rules, the OP of each thread can simply elaborate, and most monsterfags have very similar tastes anyway so most things out of the norm won't be posted to begin with. >after the threads get unlocked, just find the threads you think are too dead and only make a post (using the "board owner" tag) there asking anons to maybe post in the general thread. Same could work in reverse, if some species would be over-represented in the general, ask them to "split" into a specialised thread. That is basically what he did with the fox thread in the general except now he just waits longer and puts in unneeded effort for a much less efficient solution. The trial run simply adds a new dead thread to the board just to be sent back to the general and then people might complain about deleted images if he decides to get rid of that clutter. Giving a species the "trial run" in the general keeps things cleaner in the first place. I feel like some of you two should really think about how your ideas would play out and to be realistic about it. You have very few people posting as it is, dividing them just reduces activity and breaks up a potential community. If any newcomers would enter a thread for their favorite species they would get bored to see each post being weeks or even months apart.

>>9597 >>9614 >it's just keeping things organized Imagine having a single humongous folder where you keep most if not all of your monstergirl stuff. And then each time you need to find something, you have to dig through all of it to find the thing you need. Doesn't exactly scream organized to me. Or you can have multiple named subfolders and actually sort your content by species or in any other way you want. I believe this example also works for generals, because mentally filtering out posts I'm not interested in while looking for what's relevant to my interests is something that always bothers me in any long-running general. Also, catching up with fast threads is often a chore.

>>9617 Your point would make sense, if we were as busy as the /mgg/ on 4chan or /monster/. The problem right now is that we aren't. >mentally filtering out posts I'm not interested in while looking for what's relevant to my interests is something that always bothers me The arrow on the top left of all posts is a drop down. Using the "Hide Post" option would help you out a lot there. >Also, catching up with fast threads is often a chore. The General thread got about two posts in the last twelve hours. It is not a fast thread. I caught up on checking posts there and the rest of the board in less than five minutes. I'd honestly understand your position if this place was getting around 100 posts a day, but the reality is that right now, it's not. Until then, limitation breeds discussion and creativity. You could help out though and give the Island Game or the Writing Prompt a go!

>>9636 Correction, the "Hide Post" option is the slashed circle next to the arrow. In any case, it's a good tool to use if needed.

>>9617 Thank you for elaborating. >single humongous folder where you keep most if not all of your monstergirl stuff I know that was just an example but in both literal terms and intended use this isn't a personal images folder, this is a community. The goal of a board is to keep the people organized and in sight of each other to encourage activity, not strictly to keep images organized unless there are an excess of them, which there is not. >I believe this example also works for generals, because mentally filtering out posts I'm not interested in while looking for what's relevant to my interests is something that always bothers me in any long-running general. >posts *I'm* not interested in >relevant to *my* interests >bothers *me* With all due respect, wanting things to be convenient for you, or any user, is understandable. It is still your experience and it should be a good one, but with where things are now you would be killing potential board activity. I have seen this in action more than once. You can see it even now with the locked threads. The dog and cat girls threads would get a surge in activity and go whole days or months without posts before being posted in again a few times only to sleep once more for another few days to few months. You can see these yourself if you don't want to take admin's word for it. That isn't even factoring in how many, or few, different anons posted in those threads and when. >Also, catching up with fast threads is often a chore. You can just check up on the thread once a day or keep a tab open on your phone if you need to but it isn't even that bad yet. Once it gets to the point where you'll have to check 20 new posts in one day that will likely be reduced soon if any one species is making the majority of recent posts. Additionally, as >>9636 suggested, hiding posts is always a valid option as well. This isn't 4chan where you need to hide generals frequently, chances are you'll only have to do it once every few months at the most. Organization is good so you can keep content, and people, in groups but that works when a large community has already been established, not when you want a small number of people to post more and that isn't even factoring in contributing factors for low activity such as individual user personality, possible lack of content for any one species, a previous shortage of threads promoting activity (which the island game and OC threads are trying to remedy), or other reasons that can inhibit activity in any board. And lastly, I understand the appeal of a slow and comfy board but I moderated one such place before. Those words were optimistic ways of saying "dead". If it goes back and stays that way then the admin said he would close the board entirely as stated here >>9486 and that is a far worse alternative than a bit of clutter. The goal here is a community, not an organized library.

In support of >>9654, I don't think there's a single monstergirl board left that isn't mostly comfy. Even /monster/ can hardly be called fast nowadays, though some threads there have caught the mindworms, and here I'd love to have the "problem" of double the discussion posters. The general's also good to have around for shit outside the MGE favorites, like Hroz's very vulpine Scylla.

>>9655 >start off on /vg/ >end up MGE centric I didn't expect this to go the way of anons saying mamono in the general thread but the leaning that is emerging is pretty clear to see.

>>9660 If MGE fandom is so widespread and active, it only means that others need to pick up the slack, nothing else.

>>9661 The others seem to be the ones happy posting images.

>>9636 Yes. But I could swear that the board was faster until recently even despite the division. Maybe this experiment had something to do with the drop in activity? >Until then, limitation breeds discussion and creativity So there are limitations after all. >You could help out though and give the Island Game or the Writing Prompt a go! Maybe I will if I can muster up enough motivation to participate in a quest/CYOA. >>9654 Well this is the feedback thread, so I'm going to give my personal feedback without sperging out too much (hopefully). You could brush it off as just a "(Me) problem", but I think there is a reason as to why so many separate threads were created before the lockdown. Implying that I'm not the only one who thinks that having multiple threads instead of being contained to a single one would be preferable. Unless those anons have left already after being disappointed with this new limitation. >>9660 I wonder how long it will take for MGE-leaning people to start shitting on non-MGE monstergirl content as observed in other MGE-centric communities such as /jp/'s monster girl thread on 4chan.

>>9665 >I wonder how long it will take for MGE-leaning people to start shitting on non-MGE monstergirl content as observed in other MGE-centric communities If that ever comes to pass, then we'll cross that road when we get there. I'm pretty sure one of the very reasons this place was created was exactly as a refuge for those tired of the hyperfixation on MGE some monster girl communities grew to have, but that doesn't mean MGE as a whole should be verboten.

Alright, it looks like the debate about merits of having/not having separate threads has ran its course. To clear things up first, >>9636 and >>9654 aren't me. Now I'd like to move on to discuss how do we go forward, but first what we know from all this meta posting: There are two distinct groups of users, casual posters or lurkers, and the more dedicated regulars. Casual posters strongly prefer having specialized threads for everything and seldomly post, while the other group would like to have a continuous discussion going on without fragmenting it too much. It's not an absolute divide and I've seen one contributing anon who doesn't support the merge, but in general that's how it looks. Up until April, this board was tailored for the first group, but there wasn't much actual life going on. Most of the activity was centered around posting random images in the separated threads with minimal discussion without a more general talk going on. As I said before, I was not okay with that state and it was more like a booru on different engine than a proper imageboard community. After the initial slump following the change, things finally started happening about two weeks in. We have some new unique things in the form of writing and cyoa/quest threads and I can see more dedicated posters going active, which is exactly what I was looking for even if the total post activity might have went down due to some posters really not liking the change (plus the double ragequit I talked about at the start) Thing is, we need BOTH groups to form a healthy community. So the million dollars question is, how do have just that? What certainly isn't on the table is "rollback and pretend nothing happened", otherwise I'm open to suggestions. For now I came up with those options: >keep monster girl discussion merged in the general thread and rethink if after 2 months global post activity falls below a minimum threshold. Only general girl species threads are merged, more specialized stuff like fetish-based threads can be still freely made, especially for purposes of dumping content. >rollback the change and suggest that anons consider using the general thread more, but for 2 months monitor activity in the general thread and rethink if it falls below a threshold

>>9665 >I wonder how long it will take for MGE-leaning people to start shitting on non-MGE monstergirl content I will never allow any group to chase out another and such posts will disappear without prior warning, this is supposed to be generally a neutral ground. That said I don't feel like playing a nanny so >I hate this Is fine, it's an opinion >I hate this, don't post that shit Will get deleted as it's sabotaging the board and breaks the no backseat modding rule Keep in mind this goes both ways, I'm very well aware of idiocy between MGE fans and MGE anti-fans >>9667 >I'm pretty sure one of the very reasons this place was created was exactly as a refuge for those tired of the hyperfixation on MGE Not quite, it was made because it's impossible to hold a decent monster girl community on 4chan without either retards taking over or excessive gatekeeping strangling the discussion. MGE will exist here alongside other settings/franchises and I will not do anything to forcefully limit ratios.

>>9646 This is a hard problem either way and I don't claim to have a silver bullet answer, but a few suggestions. First, if you go with either option I'd limit it to one month before revisiting, that feels bearable to whoever "loses". As an added sweetener, have some event OC for the disfavored position. We're limited in options, but maybe something like the next greentext prompt favors them. So if it stays general-only, the prompt involves a popular locked thread like harpies or succubi, and if those threads reopen, the prompt is for girls that don't have one like undead or monoeyes. Done creatively this is also fun to write to, like if it's a new girl + theme combo every two weeks for a couple months. Separately, how would people feel about adding in some older stuff? Maybe once a week for fun and discussion value, so it doesn't push out OC? I've saved off a bunch of "make a build" monstergirl CYOAs from 4chan /tg/ that I rarely see on proper monstergirl boards, and also /monster/'s old slash.monster greentext archive (RIP). If neither of those are to your taste I'd guess a few of you also have stashes of the good old stuff.

>>9701 >First, if you go with either option I'd limit it to one month before revisiting I chose two months because just one doesn't leave enough time for userbase rotation to take effect, the main visible result at first will be some posters going inactive or leaving. It's pretty much guaranteed that with too short test period, neither option will have the time to bear fruit. Option 1 assumes that the regulars group will put in extra effort to compensate for temporary loss of activity, as time goes more of the casual posters left will get invested and among the newcomers there will be those who were looking just for something like that. Option 2 assumes that there will be an understanding among anons to use separate threads if you don't feel like talking and just want to post specific images you found, while prompts for discussions will (usually) go to the general thread. I don't like thinking of either group as "losing" or "winning", what I'm trying to do is to instill some feeling of community and an incentive to work for the common good, but a cooperation is required for that so I need to see which option will meet less resistance. >Separately, how would people feel about adding in some older stuff? A combined thread for interesting historical stuff from other places would go well with the intended role of being a crossroads/neutral ground of this board, someone already made such thread for memes and I guess another could be made for more serious content. The monster girl fandom produced tons of unique content that gets lost over time and preserving it would be a value on its own already.

>>9707 You're assuming a big hit is unavoidable and I don't think that's true, and the thrust of my ideas in >>9701 is to minimize it. You have the stats and I don't, but I would guess that the more active posters are overrepresented here, while casuals, especially refugees from other chans, will barely skim the rules to start. I certainly lurked, other boards getting worse gave that final push. If that assumption holds, it makes sense to unlock, pleasing imageposters and newbies, but trying to have something extra for people active in the general and probably reading here is a nice way to thank everyone and help make up for people who split off. Even if it's a gimmick in the first month a more active general with something cool helps hook newcomers to solve the chicken and egg problem. Aside from that I think some unlocking some threads is better than the "for fetish X" threads you mentioned, a lot's intrinsic to certain girls (spider thread for bondage and more consistent femdom than lamias, cow thread for big anime tiddies). On the other hand I have no idea why dog girls are separate from wolves. Hellhound being a thing breaks the "because doggos are more submissive" right out the gate, and other than Kagerou there's no strong "wolfposting" schtick on par with foxes.

Also if non-BO posters have things they'd personally want to see but are unsure it seems a good time to throw it out here. If you're dead set then yeah just make the thread.

>>9709 Your suggestion regarding compensating for change via OC events won't work in case of the merger stays option, as the group leaving because of it is not interested in such activities to begin with. And in the other scenario, that would lead to fragmentation to inevitably repeat, because casual posters will go back to cultivating their "slow and comfy" threads again, while regulars will quickly get tired of talking to the same 3 people and then we're back to how things were before the change. Not that I'm saying having such events alongside regardless of everything would be bad, but I'm not seeing how this is better than the activity threshold incentives I came up with so far. In general we need systemic long-term solutions since, well, this is a fundamental systemic issue we're dealing with. >Aside from that I think some unlocking some threads is better I don't like this, at all. Me locking the species threads was already criticized for being arbitrary, but deciding which girls deserve their own threads based on anything other than hard activity metrics is going to be orders of magnitudes even more arbitrary and controversial.

>>9701 >maybe something like the next greentext prompt favors them. As the one who's posting the prompts, I do like this idea. FYI though, it's just Writing Prompts, greentext is an option for a medium, prose, poetry, or a similar creative expression is also encouraged. To add to that, is everyone still interested in my plan of posting a weekly prompt with a two week "soft deadline"? Once again, the soft deadline is merely just a suggestion for writers to follow, not an absolute. Anyway, I want to have at least two prompts overlapping at one time, so that if anon gets writers block, the new prompt might be the idea he needs. With that also in mind, I was thinking of a schedule framework. Week 1 right now has a scenario, but Week 2 could be the "featured Monster Girl" idea, Week 3 could be a piece of music, and Week 4 could maybe be artwork. Then it would loop from there.

>>9717 I still think we're look at the solution differently so I'll try one more time and be done. To me fragmentation being bad is downstream from activity. Lose 20 posts/week to comfy threads but gain 20 in the general by event stuff spurring discussion and I personally am okay with that. And some comfyposters or newbies might do both if the general has something cooler than "same as my thread but with girls I don't care about", which was the hide post anon's complaint. On 4/tg/ that's what turned CYOAs into a self-sustaining general. Here, if we could support an art request thread (big if) you can bet we'd have crossover there. My long term was exactly that: more OC of some form, stories and events to start, attracts more talk and related OC in a virtuous circle that makes whatever off-board outreach we do get more people to stick around. To this end I really like prompt anon's >>9724 suggestion of music, maybe not a specific piece but like a "monstergirl tour 2024" theme, anons tend have interesting taste in music.I'd write for that just to see the response. Probably best if I stick to the generals in the short term no matter what you decide.

Not the BO, but I'm just going to point out that general thread 2 was made in January 19th of this year and hit bump limit on April 1st. General 3 was made the same day, and is about 120 posts away from bump limit. Today is April 27th. That at least means that anons are interacting with each other more.

>>9731 I was a little(extremely) sloshed out when I wrote that that stuff but I was thinking that prompts and other things can be a tad aggressive for anons, especially on account of them being nervous wrecks at the best of times. While the general thread has too I can't say it's quite gained a theme yet, for whatever reason. There was also the digimon, towergirls, and SU thread that were all flash in the pan stuff. It's just interesting to see thread culture happen, or not happen. I didn't particularly favor the fragmented threads over the general thread but it's interesting to see the things that do happen. Which as an anon pointed out way earlier is that most anons are probably non-participants here for images and there is a big push for anons not to move from wherever they already are unless they have to. Also > virtuous circle that makes whatever off-board outreach we do get more people to stick around Is a real thing and people do come here, see it doesn't have much activity, and then leave again. Even guys I talked to have said this is a thing when they see the place. It's mostly an observation from what I've seen than any real suggestion. When it comes to anons everything is pretty much a catch-22 until something stands out to make this the place to go for something. Which oddly enough wasn't the games thread despite being the only place I know at this point to actually get games. Anons really do like their MGQ, though!

>>9661 I'm trying to start some discussions with MonMusu, but fuck me, it so often goes nowhere and dies. Also MGE fandom is too zealot like, often shitting on other series for being "too degenerate" and that's pretty annoying. Also the only other fandom that practically exists is MGQ. Everything else doesn't have enough people/content (or both) to warrant continuous discussion.

>>9818 >I'm trying to start some discussions with MonMusu, but fuck me, it so often goes nowhere and dies. To be fair, I don't think it's only here. The series in general just kind of fell off, what's with the long wait between chapters for the longest time (probably because of Crabman's depression at the time), the plot or the main harem never really moving the story forward, no season 2 while hype was high. Usually discussion nowadays just boils down to this almost nostalgic feeling over the main cast.

>>9818 Agreed, and I'm who >>9820 is talking about on MonMusu, where it went so long with no updates that I don't remember where I stopped and can't be arsed to find it. I do think a big part of the problem is only MGE and MGQ do much lore, which is a good spark for discussion. Like Seaport Princess is dominating the general right now but where does it go from there, sticking your dick in her 90mm AA cannons? A prompt just for lore stuff instead of stories is one idea. I may have another but want to talk to a few friends first. >>9745 In terms of outreach, how far afield are we willing to go? Like the story thread is seeing enough action now that maybe up to AO3 with a link back here would pay off, or same for the quest thread with Questionable Questing though I'm less enthusiastic about them. But those are a lot different than just pulling from other chans so I'm in no rush if people here have reservations.

>>9826 >Like Seaport Princess is dominating the general right now but where does it go from there, sticking your dick in her 90mm AA cannons? I stick it in her construction site, so she ends up building a Hoppo or two. Yeah, i think KC barely has any lore aside of hinting strongly or even confirming that Abyssal girls are just sunk shipgirls corrupted in the dark cold sea's depth.

>>9818 We simply don't have enough active userbase to warrant constant discussions about specific series (aside from MGQ because of this board's roots and old anons from MGQ days following and even then it's not that constant), now you hopefully understand why growing the board is so important and why we can't just settle on being the slow and comfy place for a handful of people to visit once every few days. Besides, in the doujin/manga thread monmusu got quite a bit of discussion so I don't know what are you on about, the amount of attention it gets is more or less in line with what I'd expect based on overall activity levels. You want more monmusu fans on this board? Bring them here and/or talk about monmusu in more general threads often enough that anons pick it up. Remember that there's a lot o people lurking, so you have the potential, if you put in the work. >Also MGE fandom is too zealot like, often shitting on other series for being "too degenerate" and that's pretty annoying. That's irrelevant on this board, unless mere existence of MGE references upset you. Then it's a (You) problem.

>>8814 Followup announcement: After considering feedback and current state of the board, I've decided to give the freedum option one more chance. The experiment was actually a success and managed to bring life into the board. At the same time this was done using not just the general thread, so it makes me think it's possible to have what's needed without forcibly herding traffic into the general thread. But with freedom comes responsibility, so I will also be carefully monitoring state of the board for the next 1-3 months and will rollback one last time, back to the merged model if I notice the community side of the board (general thread, original content threads) deflate again with no positive trend. I'm reminding everyone that this is supposed to be a community that everyone needs to participate in for it to work and if you wait for others to step up to the plate and generate content for you, then so will everyone else and nobody will actually do things. So while there are no rules about how threads are to be used or made, I HIGHLY recommend using the specialized monster girl kind threads if you are just looking to dump images in a segregated manner and use the general thread for actual discussion, because that way there will be a much higher chance of someone joining in on the talk as evidenced by general thread in the last month. It's also important to support original content creation and this is something you'll hear on any self-respecting altchan. Compliment newly posted works in the OC thread, participate in the currently running writing prompt thread, join the running quest thread or even drop them a friendly comment if you can't be arsed to come up with anything, because we'll have a hard time getting anyone to spend effort contributing anything if they get barely any acknowledgement.

YEAAAH! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! That'll show those commie bastards trying to steal our red-blooded American Anubises!

>>9829 >Then it's a (You) problem. Imagine if the game came out and it actually got enough anons into it to talk about it. >can't share it >can't post images of it >just a load of anons discussing it and telling you to pay up It will never come out but it would actually be really fucking funny to se this happen.

>>9829 >We simply don't have enough active userbase to... You misunderstood, or I wasn't clear enough, but I was talking in general. Other places on the alt chans also seem to not give much of a shit. And I don't like 4chan's /a/ turbo fast board, I want to revisit those threads, see what people discussed, not hop on, have intense discussion and shitposting for like a day or 2 and then the thread goes to the shadow realm. >>9829 >That's irrelevant on this board, unless mere existence of MGE references upset you. Nah, I really like this series too, I even think KC using the broken copyright system to become an anti-NTR dictator is pretty cool, but there's limits to everything. >>9820 >The series in general just kind of fell off, what's with the long wait between chapters for the longest time (probably because of Crabman's depression at the time), the plot or the main harem never really moving the story forward, no season 2 while hype was high. Usually discussion nowadays just boils down to this almost nostalgic feeling over the main cast. I was there when it was dying, and you're right, but I think it recovered a fair bit in the last year or so. English speaking fans didn't seem to come back tho >>9826 >Agreed, and I'm who >>9820 is talking about on MonMusu, where it went so long with no updates that I don't remember where I stopped and can't be arsed to find it. Read some recent chapters, its good.

>>9829 >You want more monmusu fans on this board? Bring them here and/or talk about monmusu in more general threads often enough that anons pick it up. Remember that there's a lot o people lurking, so you have the potential, if you put in the work. I get it you're the BO and you kind of have to shill working for your own board, but this was a little much.

>>9861 Well, what kind of response did you expect? This isn't a wordpress blog where owner is responsible for providing you with content, I already put in tons of hours just being there every day and helping keep up daily activity, I don't have the time to marathon monmusu to add more in-depth lore discussions.

>>9870 I'm talking about the attitude, and this reply is even worse. Just because you're correct doesn't mean the approach is. And for the record, in case you somehow miss this, this isn't about you providing content.

>>9893 Not the BO here, but he's not wrong. You want more people to talk about monmusu. How else do you wanna go about getting that going? Cause other than posting regularly and getting other folk here to do just that, there's not many other options to get a community going. This place is found by word of mouth right now, we don't exactly have banner ads up at other sites pointing here. He's frustrated at having to reiterate that, and you're tone policing. On an imageboard. I get your issue, but compared to other MG communities, he's not being abrasive. Some thicker skin won't hurt you. Bear in mind, this is not a unique issue. Having floated around the different MG community hubs for a while, you tend to notice that language barriers and autism leads to a lot of miscommunication.

NTR shit and slutposting is /amg/ material right? why is this post still allowed on the main board? >> 7969

>>9913 Because it wasn't NTR. Some anon just joked about making a counter VN where femdom is switched for maledom. If he talked about making a VN where someone steals her from someone (or the reader) then yeah I'd delete the post. It was also implied that she wasn't in any relationship yet, so that's another reason to believe NTR wasn't the intent. When in doubt I prefer to assume the positive scenario, rather than the worst.

>>9894 >spelling out the obvious again >mentions autism yeah, that checks out >you're tone policing. no shit sherlock. I didn't like the tone, which is why I complained.
