does anybody here know where can i promote my imageboard?
or is anybody interested in linking imageboards?

 No.158088

But really, I don't think anyone knows. Has an imageboard ever successfully grown because of advertising?

 No.158090

To reply again, you can pay for advertisements on 4chan I think, and some imageboards have a likeminded 'webring' thing going on where they link to each other. It takes time to build up some camaraderie and find common ground, though.
There are also people that maintain lists of imageboards, but be forewarned that said sites are used by malicious spammers as well.
I think the best way to promote a board is basic word of mouth. The "COME POST ON MY BOARD" thing generally doesn't work unless there's an event going on forcing a migration, like the 4chan outtage earlier this year.
Unfortunately building a community site from scratch is very difficult if you don't already have the community.

I can barely use 4chan these days because of all the captcha fuckery. But even when I still lurk it, from time to time, I find the place just as mentally draining as any big social media site. How do people put up with the constant aggro and bickering over whatever the latest big culture war thing is? Don’t they ever get tired of that? Or making every single piece of media fit into some console war style faggotry with another?

It’s honestly begun to stress me out looking at the place more than ever. I don’t get how people are able to stick to this loop every day.

Getting mad and doomposting every time someone uses an offensive term for a group of sexual ideologues currently in the social spotlight just spurs on the negativity you're complaining about.

I forgot to sage. I was just tired of someone posting off-topic ITT even after I was kind enough to engage (which I shouldn't have). He's obviously not interested in the thread itself so I'm not sure why he even bothered to nitpick something said in passing that was obviously only a tangent in an otherwise op-topic reply.

It really hasn't. I don't know if it's just me but more and more shitposters and baiters keep running amok on there, and nothing gets done about it. I can barely tolerate /a/ now, /v/ has 24/7 SKG threads with faggots talking like Chanology newfags back in 2008 thinking they're righteous crusaders against evil, etc etc. Fucking eceleb threads on /a/ stay up.

Because users have some stake in the quality of their home boards?
I don’t know why this type of defeatism is everywhere as if it were somehow intelligent. By that line of thinking we should all just give up and go post on Instagram or Twitter or Discord. By that logic peemin should just shut the site down because imageboards are a dying medium anyways.
That’s exactly what they want. The less resistance the better, it’s easier if all the posters up and leave on their own.

It’s even ironic considering the history of /qa/ in particular and the years of warfare until it was finally untenable. And the administration ultimately lost anyways, because the board was deleted when it became clear it was more trouble than it was worth and they would never fully steer it in the direction they wanted. It wasn’t victory, it was capitulation.

The hack only showed that users have access to all the necessary tools and knowledge to go toe-to-toe with the mods and shitposters. Whether they choose to do so is another matter.

That's you apparently, because you believe an internet dictionary has the power to determine people's speech. It doesn't, this is obvious to anyone who's ever tried to debate the meaning of a word, how much of an inconsequential or even losing move trying to invoke a dictionary entry is because the books are always playing catchup with the changing trends of people's uses.
I know Google has altered things to the detriment of people multiple times, but because I am not incompetent I can point towards reporting of a real event I didn't make up:

I love symbol rabbit holes. Another thing I learned about Baal is he's associated with Nimrod. Who of course built the tower of babel. You know how Jesus's birthday is celebrated on the 25th of December even though in the Bible it says it was spring/summer or at least warm outside? (shepherds aren't in the fields during winter). Guess who was actually born on 25th of December. That's right: Nimrod.

If you go down the symbol rabbit holes you find out a lot of stuff like that. For example, the Apple logo being an Apple with a bite taken out of it. Guess what they sold their first computer for: $666.66. They claimed they sold it for that because Woz liked repeating numbers.

I hear the commercial for Babbel language learning software on the radio everyday. Don't have to be a genius to figure out what that's referencing. See the tower of power being done everyday by people on TV. Or the one eye thing. Or all the girls doing the peace sign even though it's really "V for victory" and means the exact opposite.

I've always heard that if you're a God and people forget about you then you just fade away. Adapting to the times and portraying yourself as cute girl is pretty smart.

Symbolism is more powerful than language since it can be understood even by those that can't read or speak. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a symbol must be worth millions of them.

Even in Levant? It's rather warm throughout whole year there.
Many Christian holidays share days with big festivities of other religions of that time because those holidays were meant to be a direct competition or were good occasion to meet in secrecy (because others would be preoccupied with their own ceremonies).
The curches in Anatolia were the most influential in shaping early Christian rites, so a lot of Assyrian/Babilonian/Persian things in terms of rituals and symbolism are shared (and this is separate from Babilonian influence on Iudaism, which indirectly influences Christianity again). Even Hittites' fragments can be traced. Whether it is influence (adapting both form and meaning from other religions to fit Christian use), subversion (adapting form with a changed meaning to propose alternative and undermine opponents) or a need to present one's piety with limited cultural imagination (people growing in other religions know that such and such things are tied to the divine and with no other idea how to present their devotion they straight up take form and meaning without even adapting beyond changing the object of devotion) can be and is discussed.

Even if they were in the fields during mid-winter (they weren't) that still doesn't explain why people celebrate a prophet's birthday on the exact same day as someone that proclaimed themself a God. Which is pretty frowned upon in the religion.

Of course, the true reason that date is chosen is because of the winter solstice festivals. Which celebrate the Sun being "re-born". Which is also worshiped as a God and has been for a long time.

I do often wonder sometimes how much of the "tfw no gf" stuff is performative and how much is me just differing from the norm. I can understand loneliness from a having nobody to communicate with perspective, and I can understand lust from a wanting to jerk off perspective, but something I think I've never come to understand has been the romantic need perspective. I've considered the prospect of having a partner before and determined it's too much devoting myself to another person for me to want to engage in that aspect of life, and even then for the most part I have hard times envisioning myself with anyone in real life and most of my fantasies have involved some sort of conquest partnership with my waifu. Likewise I'm able to appreciate and enjoy romance anime for what they are and passionately root for and feel happiness about the cute couples in them without feeling any envy or bitterness myself, while I see others all the time talking about how watching those anime opens up a hole of despair in their hearts. All I want out of life is to be able to enjoy myself and appreciate the art and media other people create, with my only real desire being to create some game or story of my own one day.

When I think about this topic, it always reminds me of prior conversations we'd have in the past about failed norms vs true sages. But then there's been plenty of stuff I've seen strewn about the internet about "epidemics" of people without love and how it's a big social issue or whatnot. It's just that not feeling those supposed pangs of desire myself makes it hard to believe this stuff actually exists, or if it does is that big of an issue to people.
