Considering we have both /b/ and /sw/ I think that having lounge is just redundant. Many threads that are made on /lounge/ get swept under the rug because not as many people go on there and the random ASCII threads can just go on /sw/
For me /lounge/ is for slow discussions that can get new replies after months of inactivity, neither /b/ or /sw/ can provide this>the random ASCII threads can just go on /sw/"threads" work in a different way on /sw/, but the Ascii Art for two boards are made in different fonts so one's art can't go to the another.
/sw/ is the redundant one
Until the recent December/January user influx, Strange World was consistently the 2nd most active board since it arrived here in July 2021 - even outpacing Off-Topic at times The same cannot be said for Lounge... but since one of Lounge's primary purposes these days is to house longer-lasting, longer-format discussions, that's to be expected Both have their purposes since they offer different cultures, different formats, different paces, different forms of AA, etc.It's things like having multiple generic 4chan-clone imageboards that is redundant, but we already got rid of all of those
/lounge/ is for wise old men/b/ is for lulzy otakus that make OC'sAyashii is for short chatroom-like posts and discussions
>>63320Which is the second most active board now? Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?
>>63372I was just speaking from experience and previous calculations, but it's not hard to calculate Here's the rankings for the past month (roughly), except for /jp/ which has only been here for 2 weeks:1. /b/ - 137 PPD (posts per day)2. /jp/ - 15 PPD3. /lounge/ - 12 PPD4. /q/ - 10 PPD5. /sw/ - 9 PPD6. /o/ - 2 PPDFor context, here's roughly the same period last year (mid March to mid April 2022):1. /b/ - 23 PPD2. /sw/ - 12 PPD3. /lounge/ - 4 PPD4. /q/ - 1 PPD5. /o/ - 0.4 PPDAnd here's 1 particular week of May 2022, featuring the "Kaguya Is Now Heyuri Admin" effect:1. /b/ - 45 PPD2. /sw/ - 25 PPD3. /q/ - 10 PPD4. /lounge/ - 6 PPD5. /o/ - 1 PPD
>Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?Other than the audit log, I mostly used searched within discord webhook to calculate last year's stats (on kokonotsuba boards) for last year's report on the front page. It's the easiest way and available to anyone.On /sw/ there are Message logs, and /o/ is slow enough to easily calculate with post numbers (although it's a bit easier to calculate with the mod panel).
