I realize that change is inevitable, but that knowledge doesn't make it feel any better. We've lost so many familiar users over the progression of Boyah 1.0 and Boyah 2.0 that it feels like we've got too many strangers here. No, I'm not just talking about SloppyJimbo.
And what's more, it feels like there's so little to do around here these days. Activity is dominated so strongly by the chat thread that there's very rarely any decent threads to post in (at least not in The Lobby). The Shop is totally dead, so there's no enjoyment out of updating that anymore. There is no longer any enjoyment out of the silly little antics of administrators...things like old flash parties and the weeks-long struggle to find the perfect anime to stream on Anime Night. Simply put, nothing fun ever happens here anymore.
Hell, there's hardly even any reason to moderate anymore. It's become pretty clear that if I just quit, others pick up the slack pretty quickly. No, I'm not just dropping my mod position, but it may be something I do if I get bored enough to mostly leave this place.
So, for those of you who have been here long enough to know about the fun, close-knit Boyah family we used to have, do you feel the way I do? What do you hate about nu-Boyah, and what should we do to improve it? Or am I just spewing nonsense?
Feels like copypasta but also seems so specific
Idk same old shit to me. I just miss the activity
Is this copypasta? Because I notice no difference in manyposters between now and the days preceding 2.0 lol
I've been posting a tad less but that has nothing to do with 2.0, just life stuff. JMV has been mostly absent for many weeks/months/years now. Hiro has been MIA since he decided he wanted to do Boyah awards a year ago. Strongdavid is doing his bike thing.
I think its more grownupstuff than Boyah 2.0 lol
Alright, I'm out. Bye Boyah.
We're really just at 2.0 beta
faggot
I guess I couldn't save Boyah. I'll let Hippo know.
Dude... flash parties, the boyah radio, shop, arcade...
Yeah those times are seemingly far behind us. Most of us are on the brink of adulthood. It makes sense we will have less time for Boyah as a community.
Now I don't think it's all for the worse though. I personally think Boyah was on the decline until 2.0 came out. Sure it lost a lot of the charm built in from the customized theme and layout but if we want to it is possible to do so.
lmao alright i can't bite my tongue for any longer or else i'll start bleeding

NO COME BACK IT'S ANCIENT COPYPASTA
The very fact that you're posting again at all is clear evidence that you've saved Boyah. cry;

Try toggling the desktop version of Boyah on your mobile device, it's even better. y/n
if you're on chrome,
settings>desktop site

hey
hi nyandood;
forgive me but you were the best choice for that adapted copypasta lol
though your account is pretty old, your relative activity is fairly new
You are less of a stranger with every passing day, whether you like it or not. Keep up the good work. wrench;
Guys it's p bad when even I am suspicious it's a copypasta

Quote from: YPrrrr on August 26, 2018, 07:31:47 AMIdk same old shit to me. I just miss the activity
while i of course am always wishing for more activity and doing what i can to encourage it, i'm actually fairly pleased with where we've been as of late
excluding just yesterday, we've been consistently getting 100+posts/day for the past ~5 weeks lol
and that's honestly pretty great compared to the ~300 posts per
month we were getting earlier in the year
we've actually already beaten last month by over 1,000 posts and we still have five days to spare lol (keep it up boyos wrench;)
i was a little worried that the upgrade to 2.0 would reduce activity, especially because it's so ugly and broken and remains so to date, but somehow those issues don't appear to have affected activity negatively sillydood;
just so you know, guys, literally over 85% of this year's activity was made in the last three months lol
and if we keep up our minimum of at least 100 new submission/day (hopefully more), we could very well even beat last year's activity, even despite the huge handicap of the first five months of 2018

and of course i know and respect that life gets in the way at times lol, but
all of those users including you have been more active on average these past few months
And that's a good thing. happydood;

i don't really miss the aracde as i never used it, but i guess i woukdn't mind having it back
i do miss the shop though, at least a little bit
it allows for some fun shenanigans lüt rewards are potentially a good way to incentivize certain behavior
i also just miss lüts and wish we could find some way to integrate its successor currency lütcoin into boyah
the loss of themes is a bother but there's a lot we could do to make 2.0 more familiar like restoring the message icons and banners and rank colors and whatnot
all in all though 2.0 is way faster and its many annoying glitches don't actually seem to have negatively affected activity lol, but we must fix them eventually
also, "on the brink of adulthood", lol
Most of us are pushing 30. goowan

Me too. wry
I would love for us to finish JoJo, at the very least. befuddlement
i know most of us are adults with busy schedules but anime night doesn't necessarily have to be a regular weekly occurrence either, we could only do it as often as a new series we're all interested in comes out or smtbh
but you know what else i dearly miss

can't u do video/screen sharing on discord now? that'd probably be the safest outlet in terms of not getting our dicks sued
