[_] Think /f/ will ever get more popular again? Anonymous 01/17/22(Mon)12:48:07 No.

  Do you guys think we'll ever see /f/'s userbase increase again? I know that there's still a
  couple of dudes making new content, but it's clear that our numbers are steadily declining by the
  week.

  mayby when Ruffle is done being worked on and only starts needing small updates

  By the week?
  Idk, if that was the case we would be at 0 by now.
  It has been like this the longest time, before a little spike right after the proclaimed "end of
  flash" hit, because some newfags came checking out the board out of curiosity and stayed because
  it's the best board remaining or some shit.

  Sure, OC is rare, but it has been steadily that for a good decade now.
  I had my best flash creation right this last year, and I've been doing it since before 2010.

  If we wait on that, we might as well make it to 0.
  God, I swear, the day a direct link to flashes is lost and ruffle is forced will be the end of
  /f/.

  There'd be no point in forcing Ruffle, keeping it in the embed for newfags who don't know what
  they're doing is completely sufficient. Hopefully they make some faster progress on developing it
  but I agree, it's going to be a long time if Ruffle is ever even finished at all.
  I don't think we'll ever see an increase, the spike from the shutdown date and the resulting
  sprinkle of new users who stayed is the last real big thing I could see, even if Ruffle were
  completed tomorrow it wouldn't cause that much of a stir in the grand scheme of things. But I
  don't think our numbers are declining like you say, the core of this place has been here a long
  time and there's not anywhere else to go.

  Well, it's more like 1-2 fewer avarage posts each week: https://4stats.io/.
  We're at 40~50~ avarage posts a day now, used to be more then 200 back in 2018

  I know fully well that ruffle isnt the most amazing thing, I just hate thought of flash dying as
  a creative outlet. Can't think of any places other then /f/ where new flash content gets posted.

  it's unfortunately ogre.

  flash would have to be promoted by a mainstream hipster to make other hipsters become interested
  in it. it hasn't been abandoned long enough yet for it to enter hipster territory.

  question is what we would get with a bunch of hipsters making flash and commenting. sometimes
  dead is better...

  Assuming no hipster faggot decides to promote flash, and it really "dies" other then a few jaded
  oldfags like us still circulating shit, we're probably gonna see Youtube documentaries about the
  "Golden Age of Flash "5 years from now.

  I don't think /f/ is dead.
  People should post more .swf if they feel the board is moving slowly, so the end of the page
  clears.

  i was hoping on dec. 31 2020 we'd pick up some more users, but most faded away.

>> [_] Anonymous 01/18/22(Tue)02:41:31 No.

  i cant be bothered to download flash and make OC anymore, it's too much work for little payback,
  i dont enjoy it the same as i did 10 years ago

  This board is a literal relic of the past more than any other.
