>Here's what happened: you didn't post
Silly dude. That is a symptom not a cause.
Why did I and almost all of me stopped posting?

>actual site itself is constantly going down or causing issues in some other way.
That's part of the problem but it wasn't big enough of a problem for /aM/ to move. Couple months before server breakdown everything worked quite well but /aM/ slowed down regardless.
>You should have followed their example.
I shouldn't and I didn't because no one knew who held sportschan /am/ and despite promising ban will be made public they never did that.
>But nobody is going to post on a board with an administrative burden.
On the contrary. Majority of /aM/ stayed at /am/ during split when Nito backpedaled a bit and not that many dudes were raising their voices against what he was doing together with me in the first place. Nito was an outsider without feeling for /am/'s needs. If administration fills those needs it's not a burden.
>How do you think you're going to cause activity to appear by banning users?
It's not supposed to. It's only function is preserving environment conducive of fun.
>The worst thing someone can do is not contribute.
>No post is a bad post, some posts just don't contain any useful content.
I tried believing in that. Then I thought maybe it isn't working just for me because I'm oversensitive or some shit. Then one dude said he won't be around anymore and asked for archives of /am/ because he wanted to find one thread he was nostalgic about. I asked what was that thread. I never got an answer.
Then I started paying attention and noticed several posting styles missing. I asked if anything was wrong in 'we're going to post pictures our completed shitposts' thread hoping that a look at what we've achieved so far will raise morale if it wasn't only me. And it wasn't only me. Then next one said he's leaving. I hope we've prevented that at that time. For a while the dark shadow wasn't there and dudes felt like they were among their /aM/igos again but it didn't last. Then I had a bit of a sage cabal talk with another dude. You probably missed that. I tried cheering him up but ultimately it failed as I think he was the one who posted that gravestone goodbye since there lied that 1 wewf I paid for a shitpost string that never came to be. My private experiment with freeposting is over. I thought those that raved loudest about it knew something that I didn't so I took the bait but it doesn't work and I explained why in three walls of text somewhere in the middle of this thread.
