>>3531757I had promised those anons a /qa/ that was open to them and they found their number met with scorn, while /qa/ itself seemed to have been psychologically damaged by the events and began to act as you, distant and hostile to newfags not sworn to their idea of the board and easily caught up by petty trolling. It stagnated, not due to mod intervention, but out of its own choice.
/bant/'s coming was a chance to bring these people into a board where they could do as they pleased without mod retaliation while new anons were exposed to what they produced and enticed to join, something all boards I had visited before it had lacked. It is for that reason I opened up a link urging cirnoes to come into the thread either I or gap made on /bant/
>>1018, but it was only after >>>gap got
>>99999 that people took it serously and shifted boards, leaving /qa/ back to its Pre-April population, perhaps lower. The idea was never a popularity contest to monopolize a board, but a place where we could interact with users that we couldn't if we stayed confined to /jp/ while being allowed to pursue mindless funposting threads as well. And I feel on that level, we have been successful.
