I do not understand the endgoal of your argument beyond trying to discourage me. The core of where L23 is coming from is a certain pessimism of the board ever amounting to anything and a tendency that we have both had over setting our expectations low and just seeing what would happen. Early on we had extensive worries of burnout when it was just 2 or 3 anons so we thought that trying to bump activity wouldn't be worth the benefit and potentially harm the board in the long hall so we developed a mindset of taking it slow and steady. This hesitance is something that has been with us, the board, for most of its existence. our old BO even once said he'd run away because he wouldn't know what to do if too many showed up I can understand why you'd find it off putting but this outlook does have a history here. > That doesn't mean i'm not going to try and have fun with it along the way As for you wanting to boost the board. I'm honestly open to any ideas you have and perhaps the planned synchronized rewatch thread and a...er... secret project I hopefully will get out soon may help with that. We always had fun whenever we made it to the top 10 anyway. As long as we keep a chill mentality I don't mind trying. >>/6945/ > So relatively speaking, your chances of drawing more users are undeniably tied to the rank and general popularity of the whole imageboard. Yeah, but we literally have had at least 3 stragglers randomly jump in in the past 5 months excluding him. He does have a point. >>/6951/ > for the record, I'm aware that paradox has additional definitions, but the additional uses of paradox apply to situations that are not paradoxes at all and practically make the word meaningless in every context > Using words you don't know the meaning of is the pinnacle of pretension. I think he is using paradox in the spirit of contradiction. Speaking of that, your point here is admitting multiple definitions exist but then saying there is only one meaning you recognize as valid. Especially to someone who is a non native speaker who'd be reliant on dictionary definitions I don't think he was using the word out of pure desire to sound smart and self important. I know I have used paradox in that sense as well. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/paradox < A person, thing, or situation that exhibits inexplicable or contradictory aspects: "The silence of midnight, to speak truly, though apparently a paradox, rung in my ears" (Mary Shelley).
