Why does it feel like everything good keeps getting ruined?

[]
It feels like just yesterday when communities centered around stuff like ai, vr etc. were still cool and not filled with grifting, when early 2000s aestheticposting wasn't overdone as fuck, even super niche shit like the i2p community (not ip2, invisible internet project) is being raided by TOR dnm users... it's getting harder and harder to find stuff that isn't infected. Am I just getting old?

If you ask me, it's because the internet made finding obscure stuff way easier, and at this point, the mainstream is the worst it's ever been. There are more people pushing out to the edges. Even normie-minded people who usually wouldn't be there, but now can easily, thanks to the Net.(´ー`)

>the internet made finding obscure stuff way easier
there are way more obscure communities out there than you think ( ´ω`)
[]
The bulletin boards on my local-only server with a population of me are the most obscure ヽ(´∇`)ノ

What if I told you I h4x0rd into your servers, where you blog and post lolis on those boards 4 yourself, just to lurk (・∀・)

I did something like that with a JS once, but her parents called the fucking police on me.
They have also invented a new fancy word apparently, "kidnapping" and made it illegal ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Name a superpower that sounds useless...

[]
And show how you would make it work for you.( ´ω`)

For me it would be the power to make any person vomit whenever I wanted. If I'm getting shit at work I can make my boss puke up. If there's a class I want to get out of, well I can do that easily if everyone who was supposed to attend is doubled over in the toilet. That faggot who raced passed me in his shitty sports car? Wouldn't it suck if he hurled all over his windshield and swerved off the road?

That robber approaching me, in a dark alleyway? You might say I'm fucked, since he's got a gun, or some huge ass knife. But that would mean nothing if I can make him puke so hard that he launches against teh wall and breaks his neck!!!ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Additionally, if I'm ever doing anal with a girl, and we have no lube, well,the puke will make a worthy substitute, don't you think?

>if it's not dead, it will probably have an equivalent amount of boards to 4chan or 2ch
"MOAR BOARDZ ヽ(´∇`)ノ" only makes sense when there's:
A) enough users that the site would benefit from splitting the traffic (1. cuz it's more manageable in terms of moderation, 2. cuz these types of BBSes really aren't made for housing large populations or high post activity), or
B) there's a high level of drama and poop-throwing over a controversial topic, and users on both sides of the argument would be happier if they were segregated

Otherwise you're just spreading the userbase too thin for no reason, and - especially for new sites - making it pointlessly difficult for new users to know where to lurk and where to post

On any site of this ilk with many boards and many users, you will see that most users are cooped up on 1 to a handful of boards while the rest of the boards range from teh slow to comatose. If there's many boards and only a few users, the site will feel like a ghost town with a few vagrants aimlessly wandering around talking to themselves (;´Д`)

But if there's a few users and only a few boards (or 1 board), suddenly users are able to gather, the site feels livelier, and the userbase is able to sustain itself or even grow ヽ(´∇`)ノ

AFTER that growth is when "MOAR BOARDZ" should be considered - and it should be considered very carefully, lest it kills or neuters the existing activity ^^;

>Otherwise you're just spreading the userbase too thin for no reason
I think that the more boards there are, the more it hurts a /b/ board (or the equivalent for that imageboard).
If every hobby, interest, or topic that has any sizeful discussion splinters into its own board, then what's left for /b/? (´ー`)
[]
>then what's left for /b/?
if your general isn't like channel4's i dont think you should have issues with your general (more people would probably use the general anyways)
i'm not a fan of the how separated every little topic is for futaba and 2ch but it's nice to have a little more than a /b/ (・∀・)

>If every hobby, interest, or topic that has any sizeful discussion splinters into its own board, then what's left for /b/? (´ー`)
There's a knock-on effect too - boards that seem fast and active will attract more users and posts, while boards that seem slow and inactive will slowly bleed users until there's practically nobody left. This isn't just true for bulletin boards, but human social structures in general - people go where the people are, and if a place looks dead then they won't stick around

>i'm not a fan of the how separated every little topic is for futaba and 2ch
On both Futaba and 5ch, the vast majority of users are gathered on a single or couple of boards. There's a handful of other boards with a small percentage of the activity to the top ones, while the rest are ghost towns

Even a site with a fraction of the userbase of 5ch or Futaba can feel really alive and active just by consolidating all their activity to a single or couple of boards. We've even seen this play out on Heyuri several times whenever more boards were added and were later removed

Offensive confidence vs Defensive confidence. Which is your strong suit?

[]
Good evening Heyuri.I've had a minor epiphany about myself, and maybe about human psychology in general. You be the judge.

Earlier today I was arrested. It was a minor infraction, and I was out in an hour.In that hour I conducted myself the same way I usually do when I'm in trouble. I glared, I folded my arms, I was forthright, exceedingly so--I was even a little bit funny. It was my first time being arrested, so I was kind of freaking out, but generally I think I projected an air of being at ease, even a bit dismissive of the whole thing.

Contrast this with my usual behaviour. Let's say talking to girls. In that case I'm a pansy. I avoid their gazes, I fidget around, I stumble over my words trying to say the right thing. My jokes are shit, assuming I even attempt any.Sometimes I even break into a nervous sweat.

Now why is this? That I can be so bullheaded in the former situation but so cowardly in the latter one. Well I was thinking that there must be two types of confidence used in different situations. Offensive confidence vs Defensive confidence.

Offensive confidence to me is that confidence you use in pursuing your own goals, things you don't strictly have to do but can if you like; liek the example I gave of talking to girls, though it can include stuff like making friends or pursuing business deals or something.

Defensive confidence is the sort you use when you've been put on the spot,like I was at the police station. When you have to keep yourself together so you can defend yourself you can put it to use. Some people really start gibbering when they're put in an uncomfortable postion.Not so with others.

So what, do you think it's legit? Have you noticed something like this yourself? Which one is more developed for you?

I wrote a reply, but I am not confident enough to talk about my personality so I deleted (´ー`)
[]
I only talk to people through the internet. Hooray for internet! ヽ(´∇`)ノ
[]
Hell it's OP again. Actually that defensive confidence thing might just have been an effect of the fight or flight response. It could be that when It comes down to it I'm a fighter. Which is why I can't access that kind of self-assuredness during less stressful situations.

That sux. Imagine if I could talk to girls the way I talk to cops. I would slay.(;´Д`)

Behaviors and actions are not set in stone - we have the ability to change them! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

If we want different outcomes, we can choose to act differently. If we want the same outcomes, we can choose to fall back on previously learned behaviors and habits. Either of these can be positive or negative depending on whether the outcomes are beneficial to us or not

Always remembrar: actions lead to emotions, emotions lead to thoughts, and thoughts lead back to actions. If you feel liek you're stuck in a negative loop, you can break the cycle and develop a new one by changing one of these stages - actions are easiest to change, so it's best to start there. Once one of these stages changes, the rest will soon follow suit (´ー`)

An old Irish farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable.(;´Д`)
His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?"(´ー`)
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.( ’~’)
"What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.(・∀・)
"Here boy" he replies.( ´ω`)
