>>382I think the problem is that the mindset of a site being "alive" or "dead" is how active a board is (post per min). A smaller site with a higher ppm feels faster than a more divided site with a slower ppm. It's also important to consider the way wapchan is structured is fundamentally different from 4chan and many other altchans.
In many imageboards, each board is for all intents independent. They may network with other boards, but they don't feel like a part of a larger cohesive site, rather just being hosted there. This is why many boards have "bunkers" - they are fundamentally independent from any single site.
Other imageboards like wapchan, heyuri and hikari3 are built in a way that all the boards are centrally run from the top. 4chan is built like this as well, but the boards have such distinct cultures that they don't feel like this.
There is a problem with this approach -the boards don't have people dedicated leadership. /kind/ is the one exception on wapchan, and it's also by far the most active board. Maybe other board owners need to be appointed to help guide the individual boards?
