POLL: Choose your 4 most posted in / most valued / most would care if it was merged with something. I left out the lobby, anonymous, market for obvious reasons. Note this is NOT to decide which boards get moved or deleted or specifically to decide this thread.

I'm trying to figure out how we can increase the number of active boards on boyah. since serious discussion is basically obsolete, and since the content of irl land is 50% 'serious discussion' anyway, I propose we combine them into one hidden board to host discussion of all sorts of 'real life' topics including 'serious discussion'.

the name would probably still be IRL Land unless someone has a better idea, but it would replace serious discussion as 2nd board.

also itt any other board ideas, none of which are likely to be acted upon.

the serious discussion board has always generally inactive. who gives a fuck? the sports board is even worse but we don't see that being removed.

[Mando Pandango]

I honestly don't see how the two are related, but I never go to discussion anyway so whatever man.

[Nyerp]

oh and don't forget the dead sleep, tech, and market boards lol!!!!!!

seriously if we're doing board culling then serious discussion should be near the bottom of your list

Merge Sleep and Dreams with IRL.

I think that if we merged irl with then it would diminish any serious discussion.

also make me a board.

I didn't even realise sleep and dreams had their own board, but I agree they would be better off combined.

well, I wasn't really going by least active, just least useful. it seems like we have a lot more 'serious' discussion elsewhere on boyah, and the discussions in serious discussion the board have been terrible lately.

Maybe merge sleep and dreams in addition, if anything. Idk how I feel about that one, though sleep and dreams is pretty useless.

but maybe this is a bad idea I'm not sure

I'm for it, but the point is to increase activity, not just get rid of a board

I think combining Serious Discussion and IRL Land with a little repurposing of its theme would perhaps create a board to hold a wider variety of topics that people could post, all related to personal lives/hot debate topics/drugs and shit/whatever, instead of making a "serious" distinction, which obviously isn't really giving anyone great ideas for posts.

lol didn't it start out this way

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

what if we moved boards around instead of merged them

like how you put old food near the fron so it will get eaten

maybe if we put inactive boards near the top then they will get eaten.

That is half the plan, I want to combine 1 or 2 boards with less defined purposes (serious and sleep/dreams too I guess) into IRL Land, then make it the 2nd board so we are more inspired to use it

I wouldn't merge serious with irl, that would make a bit too broad of a topic.

anime board sure has hit it off nicely...

I think you should go through all the pinned threads in every board as well.

[Mando Pandango]

hey so uh since we're taking suggestions i suggest you give me the ability to post in locked threads

pelase

broad topic = only board that draws significant posts. second most active (real) boards are arts and video games, which are also nice and broad. other than completely off-topic, what is broader than 'real life'? it can be like a slightly more focused and serious throwdown showdown.

a worthy suggestion.

done.
