Hey guys, it's been a while since I've made a sort of formal post about the state of the site and whatnot.
This particular board has been running for a year, a month, a week, and 3 days now and overall I'm pleased with the level of participation. There are something like 200 threads with a combined total of about 1000 posts with what I think is a good mix of tripfags, namefags, and anonymous posts. So at least it doesn't look like the same person is talking to themselves or the same couple people running all the discussions. Obviously, I still would like to encourage people to POST MOAR and keep up the discussions.
Traffic to the site has been pretty reasonable as well. Obviously there were substantially more visits during months we were releasing things but even lately the visitor count hasn't suffered much. The main reason for this post is I'm looking for answers and suggestions to the following question:
What would you, the poster/lurker/leecher, like to see from this site?As you can see from the attached graph, the last year's worth of visitors have consumed roughly 115GB of transfer. Unfortunately this isn't even half of what I'm allotted each month. There's no concern about the site going away or turning into some ad/donation supported retardedness but I would like to make better use of it. Feel free to post your suggestions in this thread, find me on
IRC, or
email me. I'm purposefully being vague here because it is difficult to just start something and get random people interested in it. I do need to maintain a worksafe environment, though, simply because while I don't mind dropping a couple bucks a year for the site, I'd rather not support the fapping habits of thousands. There's plenty of other imageboards for porn.
On a related topic, I should point out that StrikerS is all but dropped at this point. We've been through two translators already and apparently the Nanoha fanbase is a bit too small for more to come crawling out of the woodwork. I don't like leaving things unfinished but it's pretty much out of my hands now. I know I've said this before but this time I think it might really be the end :)
So anyway, that's it for my rant and begging. Carry on folks and thanks for stopping by! I'm sure I'll think of something more profound to say immediately after I click submit but it's late...
