Why?

It's not.

It can't be killed. We could use some traffic on other boards though.

It has actually picked up lately. Go find yourself a nice thread from 2006 and reply to it. Someone might even insult you for bumping an old thread before the end of the year! That's TRAFFIC, BABY! We're moving at light speed!

I'd come if people were here.

But, people are not here. So I don't come.

Nice ID, bro.
Also, the most activity undoubtedly occurs on that strange board known simply as DQN. Are you man enough to enter?

DQN intimidates me...

Normal people? Honestly, I have sort of been around here from a long time ago... I'm one of the lucky owners of the official 4-ch.net t-shirt :D

I'm a bad enough dude to roll in Dokkyun land.

Sometimes I think we should do some sort of drive to attract new users to the site.

Then I remember 4-ch's small userbase is what makes it great.

It definitaly should have more traffic though. BBS' are pretty cool and I think there are more people out there who would participate in a community like this... But they simply don't know about it, that's the problem.

funny how people have thought this for 8 years and nothing has changed for 8 years. the only new people who come to sites like these are people bored enough to read a list of textboards/imageboards on a wiki.

there have got to be like, less than 20 people who regularly use textboards. less than 10? they're probably all talking to each other on all these different websites without realizing it. insanity.

I was going to say they can't be that anemic in number but then I started thinking it's probably not very far from the truth.

It's at least 30 people, though most of them only stop by maybe once a week. Maybe more, but I don't think many are active. Try checking some of the textboard related IRC channels, or the SAoVQ discord. There's a surprisingly large number of people.
The lack of activity isn't because of lack of people, but because all of those people don't post very often, and the boards they do post on are just the bigger ones like DQN or SAoVQ. I expect most people check the boards for posts worth replying to, see nothing new, and leave again. Try making some high quality threads in places where they will be seen, you'll quickly see a spike in activity as people finally have something new to reply to.

I do too, even though it had been stagnant for years. There are simply no old-fashioned imageboards left. Mirroring the monolithic nature of the modern web, it's become 4chan or nothing again. Nothing is usually preferable to 4chan.

I used to stop by every day but my workplace had this website blocked. I recently found it to be unblocked recently though so I can finally return after like a 8 month drought. I check as many boards as possible over the workday but I don't really have anything to offer aside from serious responses. A lot of the times I don't have anything to add to a discussion so I don't reply at all.

Probably because of all the normalfags who just use instagram, twitter and all that, and everyone else using 4chan instead of other image/textboards because 4chan is the most popular imageboard that there is currently.

I met an anon from an antique internet
Who said: One vast and lifeless board of text
Stands on the web. Near it, in the thread,
Half sunk, a shattered AA lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its poster well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the subject line these words appear:
'My name is Squeeks, dokyun of dokyuns:
Look on my posts, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that dead website, boundless and bare
The lone and level web stretches far away.
