Boyah Forums

pls

Silence the administration

Why restore it if nobody uses it

oh so now you all care about minimalism huh
let's not have anything that we don't use

but why does a board need to be currently active in order to exist, i still feel that it was a notable aspect of boyah and now if anyone should want to make an anonymous post they can't do it anymore. the boyah confession booth was the 6th largest thread in boyah, and now it's just been shut down for a reason i don't think is very legitimate. you can't expect a ton of activity on all of boyah when there are so few users, most of which who are often busy with adult life, and can communicate with other boyagers through other means nowadays. the other boards being merged makes sense because they actually fit within the overreaching topic of another board from which they were spun off, but the anonymous board does not have such an equivalent.

i'm all for an anon board if it was actually used lol

i don't really care either way tbh

There's a difference between "not expecting a ton of activity" and expecting a post to be made in a period of almost 7 months.

And if there is not a ton of activity with so few users, what's the point of having an excessive number of inactive boards, including ones that have six months of non-posts?

I literally addressed that iceblock of text.

1.)I, and several other members as stated in the thread, find the reason to be legitimate. The other boards I shut down were currently, and have been more active than the Anon board.

2.)Unused threads and boards being kept open because people are busy is is a silly reason. If there isn't enough activity in current boards then what is the real benefit from spreading the inactivity out between even more boards?

3.)The confession booth still exists, but you are going to dig through 7 months of posts to find it (gee, if it were more active maybe it'd be higher up).

4.)If there are other means of communication what is the point of keeping a board that isn't used?

you p.much just kept restating that people dont post a lot but people liked the board before so we should keep it.

anon board's equiv. is the shitty posts of the Lobby, without the gimmick of anonymity--a feature that along with themes--is a major reason why we never moved to 2.0

if getting rid of the anon board means we can get boyah 2.0 I'm all for it never coming back

Well, the themes are still an issue but anon was a major concern, which is why I ended up trying to rewrite it myself.

It failed randomly about 10% of the time and I couldn't figure it out, so I gave up trying to fix it.

and it's not something i'm making up now:

and to #4, how on earth would anonymous posting even be equivalent to other methods of communication?  doodhuh;

I think anonymity has it's uses and don't see it as a gimmick or shitpost equivalent.

if you can't get it to work with 2.0 then fine, that's a legitimate reason. but this has nothing to do with that and 2.0 isn't happening anyway. and if it ever did happen really we should try to move off smf entirely if possible

instead of the anonymous board have a borat board where everyone posts like borat and all of the posts appear to be from borat instead of boyager

anon board has no practical purpose, it was a 2009 meme

What uses does it have hiro

If there are usually 5-7 people online at a time at most you can pretty much guess who the poster is. Admins can tell who the poster is regardless of the time.

It hadn't been used in 6 months.  What non-gimmick, non-shitpost use was there before that?

also

zidone, don't vote based on your stupid idea. Make a stupid poll like stilvetone

and the poll options are the whiniest things ever 'yes' or 'boo hooo my bummbum hurt'

Here you go hiro, the most recent posts made in anon board

almost no posts in 2015--all of which were shitposts, which you claim wasn't the only use of the board. most of 2014 was also shitposts.

Going back to it was inactive with sparing shitpost and

half of boyah is shitposts

You literally just said that you dont see the board as a shitpost equivalent when that was all the board has been for years.
why do we need two boards for shitposts

what use does the anonboard have other than humor in shitposts?

the ability to post something anonymously

and i don't see it as a shitpost equivalent, just like I don't see the food board, esoteric, lobby, or philosophy boards as being for shitposts, and yet they still have a lot of shitposting

A lot of shitposts vs Only shitposts.

As I said, the threads weren't truly anonymous

Other than a gimmick, what purpose did the Anonboard serve that isn't accomplished by the lobby?

I dunno jim it's your website you can do whatever the hell you want with it, I'm just being a whiny asshole for no reason

NO hiro boyah is run by it's MEMBERS and is a DEMOCRACY and even if people disagree with your opinion your opinion still MATTERS

so ru  saying there is no use for that board

also hiro is free to make the poll and the results will be followed as specified

if people want the boards back then they go back but hiro's reasoning is ridiculous in acting as if there is no reason to delete a board that no one, including himself, used for 6 months. I'd be curious when Hiro actually used it last.

Thyme didn't make some whiny thread about the food board
Kaz or John didn't even bother making a poll about anime

both boards had both more actual activity and something other than shitposts in the last year and a half.

really more like a business/pyramid scheme and we're the consumers/sellers

if boyah was a pyramid scheme then it'd fold because none of you guys recruit anyone into our MLM product

if this shit comes back there better be more than two posts a day for the next month OR ITS BACK TO THE TRASH

delete more boards

Also, as a method of fairness to Hiro I let this thread go for the full 5 days to give it an opportunity to get the remaining votes even though it was down 4-5 on Friday night.  baddood;
Thyme can confirm this

also make the annon board on probation where if it does not get a certain amount on new threads/posts a month it is gone. a reasonable amount.

and if it smokes a doobie ITS BACK IN THE GARBAGE

The garbage bin is the anon board
