Cool. Make sure you tell me when it's up so I can hax it with some button pushing.

Also, I think there's enough forums in the world. There are enough imageboards in the world, which is why EleoChan is a failure. (See sig). Seriously, what do you have to offer that no other gaming/anime site does?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Infernal Monkey's explanation almost makes sense except that he just described all the people that we chase out of the forums for being dumb.

I wonder how IcyHot or whats-her-name is doing.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't think that's entirely true, but you have a point.

Like any site that's new and doesn't necessarily pull in users, part of the key to making it grow is to let it grow, but while at the same time seeing that it doesn't die. EleoChan.org isn't massively popular, but it has grown in popularity since I reopened it back in what, April, and from what I've seen it is continuing to grow. But slowly. The difference between bandwidth usage last month and this month is about ~50MB a day. Average hits and visits has increased too, even if by a small amount. I'm up against a massive number of imageboards but if hits keep increasing then it's all good. Until I have to find a dedicated server and pay expenses. That's going to suck ass.

But anyway, the good thing is EleoChan isn't really slowing down or dying at the moment, even if its accelerating at a low rate. And part of the key to this was doing my best to keep it alive when it was getting hardly any hits a day while at the same time not spreading any visitors too thin with more boards than they cared to visit.

I guess a regular forum is different because there's no naked ladies and animated gifs to look at, though, so it would be more difficult, but if you offer up something even remotely desirable like mp3s then you can get more hits. And the Internet only cares about what they can download or what they can fap to.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
