tis l00ks soo kewl!!

INCOMING CRITIQUE YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR BUT I WROTE ANYWAY

- Too many boards; merge some liek random & random espanol to the same (tech stuff can also be merged with consoles etc.), having too many will stretch activity thin too early into 20chan's life.*

- Recruit outside the bubble of imageboards to grow your site; it's already a competitive scene to get more users from one another and crossover userbases are very common.

- Rule 1 seems to be the closest thing at the moment but a proper Rule 8 analogue would be nice; this is not an "everything new sux" rule, but a safeguard to prevent your site from turning into a dumpster fire where nobody has fun.

*As you get more activity, you can add more boards according to user demands. It's best to start off small.

Please don't take this in a harsh way, these are just my thoughts. I liek new startups and I want them to succeed to maek the internets a happier place. Do with this advice as you will. Godspeed. (￣^￣)ゞ

I agree with everything, including reducing the number of boards, except for merging the english and spanish random board. I think it would be awful to have the posts mixed together.

Also add a "leave if under 18" rule to your site. I know its a given but do it anyway, I saw a post from an obvious minor saying that they saw your site on a spacehey post and calling it a "fanmade version of 4chan", I think I died inside a little .
Don't promote your site on spacehey （⌒∇⌒ゞ）.

Where can i promote my imageboard? i've tried, youtube ads, instagram ads, reddit, but nothing works. Does anyone know how can i make 20chan grow? :CCC

sell your soul to me, and i will make your wish true

o_O

Just because something exists doesn't mean that there's any demand for it

To get anything even remotely close to Heyuri, you need to pray that a lot of stars align (in addition to putting a ton of work in) - we didn't just click our fingers and have a userbase appear. To just scratch the surface, you'll need to:
- be lucky enough that there's an exodus of users from another site you can provide a new roof for to kickstart things
- hope that some of those users become equally as passionate as you about your website and have them pour a crapton of effort into it over several years
- have the experience/skills to avoid all the various pitfalls and "people problems" that will come your way
etc.

>how can i make 20chan grow?
It's a bit like a newbie athlete asking how they can win an Olympic medal. People can tell you to tie your shoelaces properly and practice a lot, but there are many factors beyond your control that will (more than likely) prevent you from achieving what it is you want to achieve - unless you happen to be very, very lucky

Ive never made my own image board, ive only moderated for a different image board in the past.

But i would recommend if any site is starting, probably to start with as few boards as possible, like.. just 1, and then expanding those boards as users grow.
It would be easier to manage for you, and it will also feel more active when youre just starting.

Heyuri is a great site, and gets good traffic but even with the limited boards it has, its slow sometimes, so if your usership is less than heyuri's you should probably have much much fewer boards - for now.
