I want you to post I wouldn't call it a chan because it's a huge departure from Futaba imageboards and has different goals;
it's a glorified guestbook that cuts through posts to find the best ones to feature on goeshard.org

I don't have an exact date yet, but I'm most likely going to be shutting down the board.
Something I've told myself for a while is that it doesn't hurt to keep it up. But it's a bit of sunken cost fallacy, because there's no benefit to keeping it up either. It was a cool thing I made but even if I don't work on more features for it, I have to maintain the server it's on. I have to keep up with CVEs. I have to install updates. And every ounce of energy that goes into this board is energy that is not put into my other projects. Another layer of this problem is that even if I leave it in the background while focusing on other tasks, it's eventually going to distract me and lure me back into working on it again, since that's just how I am.
I'm not just going to shut it off over night. I want to get it into a state where I can make static copies of the entire site and then preserve the archives. Keeping at least that as a memento online is how I'm going to justify the work I put into this thing and also turn away from it.
The blog at goeshard.org will stay up so I'm not going anywhere.
> if not you are gay just saying
guess I'm gay then lol
What reasons do you have for wanting me to keep it up, honestly?
Would you be willing to moderate if I was going to consider it?
Basically what it comes down to is that I don't want to have the up and down where it seems like the site is starting to take off, there's a couple returning posters, and then days later it's dead again for over a week. It calls me back in and then rug pulls me. Then I realize the whole time, I could have been doing something else.
Most people who don't use imageboards check out immediately because it's not their style. People that do use imageboards see that it's not the same as imageboard software they are used to and it makes them bitch and moan. So it's just not a meritted site. We're propping up a dead body that belongs in the ground.

It's a cool site and when the right people find it they will post on it.

The small web is supposed to be slow.

I get it.

Sure.

Alright, you are the mod now.
We'll try this out until November or until you don't want to do it anymore.
It shouldn't be a big deal, you just have to watch it daily, sometimes move things to /trash/. If there is an incident, you can lock boards, delete posts, and let me know.
EDIT: let's not talk about moderation publicly. hmu on my phone if you need to.
