==CURRENT TASKS:==
==1. OPERATION MAX REVIVE==
'''Rebuild the board's userbase and activity through simple, but effective methods'''
'''1. Post across the entire board'''
Activity creates activity. Use threads you like, make new ones if topics don't exist.  Easy examples are Drawthreads and Friday Night threads, go request or draw something right now.
'''2. Recruit and recover lost or potential anons'''
Use this site's OC and features to entice anons if necessary when recruiting, just inform that we are alive.
Here's some sites and links with at least some confirmed anons that can be recruited again:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chotwheels
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SSAVCH
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/video_games
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chmohun
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chan_monster
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoodLuckEbolaChan
https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8ch.net
https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8chan
Other sites that might yield fruitful results and have anons (art sites use an account so you can see 18+ content):

https://www.newgrounds.com/search/summary?suitabilities=etm&terms=Vivian%20James
https://twitter.com/search?q=Vivian%20James&src=typed_query&f=image
https://rpgcodex.net/
https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/
Somewhere on Telegram
Just searching up GG or 8chan-related terms on certain places/sites can get you possible results.
'''3. Make your own OC/Memes/Content'''
Doesn't matter what it is even if its just simple edits or full-on drawings or webms, just make it and have fun. Ask in thread for software recs if necessary.
'''4. Encourage or create fun events, activities, projects, etc.'''
Think things like 8chanmania, weekly streams, re-translation projects, demo days, or zzz's gaming magazine for example. If you want to do something, try making or reviving it, it can't hurt and these things are great for the board.
'''5. Use other boards'''
All it takes for a board to grow is at least 2 dedicated anons using it. Don't be afraid to make a post, check places periodically, shill, or what have you. Don't force discussions to boards, just encourage the usage of them.
