>To my understanding, the restoration of old boards/"maek nuu boreds plz!!!" has been a topic for about as long as Kaguya has been admin
It's been around a lot longer than that - since Strawberry Heaven!

>I'm all for it - there are WAY too many boards for our current population size, and most of them are just legacy 4chan boards that had a reason to exist for them back in 2003/2004, but don't necessarily make sense for us here today

>My opinion is that all we need right now is /b/ the imageboard, /f/ the flash board, and /q/ the meta board) and everything else belongs on /b/ until proven otherwise. Any new types of board should get their own dedicated board (such as an uploader board, an oekaki board, a textboard, and so on), but multiple instances of the same board type should only be made when they are required, rather than desired

>Consider that the only boards on Futaba that have extremely high levels of activity are Nijiura may and img (those two boards alone make up for 96% of the entire site's activity, which is approximately 13,000 PPH... each!!), and the only board on 4chan that had tons of activity prior to the massive population growth in 2007/2008 was /b/ (which also made up 95-99% of the entire site's activity)

>Some boards are going — Yes, you heard it. We are going to be doing away with some boards. In the end, /a/, /b/, /q/, and /r/ are staying. All other boards will be archived and removed from the index. I have made this decision due to the fact that most of them recieved little to no usage on a daily basis. I later found that I wasnt bothered at all by this, SH only looks to serve a few purposes, and those few purposes cant be served with just those 4 boards.
