Why is this forum so atomized?

You have an active, tight knit community where everyone knows each other yet this forum is awfully slow on average and users end up splitting into discord or DM cliques. This place should ideally be an active community where good discussions and cage-inducing chats occur on a hourly basis, but those are a dime a dozen here.

What can be done to make this forum less atomized and more vibrant?

Users here are boring faggots and the forum is stale af, can’t blame them
I disagree, I think this place has potential and interesting personalities which can be put to good use. Problem is that the environment of this forum keeps this place stuck in an atomized state, I hear that there have been plenty of quality chats in GCs but it rarely translates to forum posts.

If only .net had the same activity as .org did, while retaining the same unique community feel this place has to offer.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. These downtimes lead to the cagefuel and discussions being much more entertaining when they do happen. The low activity is a blessing in disguise imo. People are probably just busy jacking off rn but once the clarity hits they'll come in here with the most thought provoking discussions one can see. It's good to have a few weeks of downtime before it pops up than a constant stream of JFL reacts. Too much activity would stink up the board and make it stale faster

Hard to be more boring than normies though so they have that going for them.
I think anyone and everyone can be an interesting and unique personality, whether it be extreme anti-social rotters or normies. Image boards for one were big due to the large mix of personalities ranging from shut-in rejects to normies just passing the time and shitposting. An environment has to be created where anyone can thrive and contribute to discussions.

There should be a balance in activity, it should neither be too fast paced like .org is but it shouldn't run at a snails pace like this forum. It can be rope fuel to see how spread apart and dead this community is despite it having like 20 active users at any given moment, similar to your average suburban community in the US.

There's actually forums with more users but less activity

I'd say it's basically a minefield where there's a userbase logging on but you have to prod them into discussion

Think of it like Twitter. A feed can be slow but someone makes an edgy or controversial post and the thread gets tons of activity

I agree with @Pale God and @PointOfNoReturn. I’m too low iq and boring to make any thought provoking thread that people on the forum can engage with
You are a good user man, despite being a lurker your positive presence is always felt in the threads you lurk around and react on. Why dont you give it your best shot? you seem a promising character based on your posts.

You don't have to. Rip a quote from a random book and pretend you understand it nobody will tell. They'll over analyse it and run away with theories doing the rest of the work for you. Thing is most users don't revisit threads, one view and it's out. Getting pumped and dumped but online smh. All our megathreads (history, music, math) have very low activity because users find it easier to make a new thread each time. Even if we have a great discussion there won't be any additions to it after the first few hours

I knew a NEET who was like 17 and he was a drug addict who I discovered on a blackpill Discord server and he was boringness personified. He was productive on some drugs and did scams but he was extremely boring to talk to, not so much in the beginning but at some point I just stopped talking to him since he was so boring and probably only replied because he felt like he had to, to seem polite.

there's discords and DM cliques? WTF!! :mad::mad:

But if you want a real answer, getting a social boost (getting invited into a secret GC) gives people dopamine and feels "better" then all the sheeple in the public area. Enjoy trying to fight against monkey brain

Most people in real life dislike me and somehow it‘s the case online too. I only knew one Indian guy who I felt liked me.

I kinda regret insulting him because he believed into the weirdest conspiracy theories and some form of satanism that made no sense (basically like all religions). I also blackpilled him too much and he was just redpilled.

Maybe I'll give it a shot in the future

I don't really want to contribute to random spam threads but I guess that's why I haven't made many threads. I overthink it

looksmax redpill forums are still the most active and most entertaining, BP beliefs kills any community
Looksmax and blackpill share the same ideology. They are both blackpilled. Looksmaxxers are just either motivated or delusional and open to the idea of wageslaving and some probably even betabuxxing aka providing resources.

Which NEETs would never do. Improving looks maybe by going to the gym but never getting a job.

This community isnt a monolith, you have everyone waging from radical NEETs to whitepilled wagies to actual RL slayers. You have well respected characters who we would be calling normiefags if we didnt know they posted here, examples being @Eren and @6speedmanual

Slayers on this forum seem unlikely unless they look like models or have rich parents, or both.

It’s not that bad it used to be even worse when people could create large group chats. Now it’s pretty balanced can’t completely disallow or stop users from forming cliques or talking one on one

It used to be very active when there were very few users, then it died out until looksmax refugee and a few others kept it alive.
Now a lot of new users have joined and a lot of the users who kept it alive in the past have either left or have stuck with their own.
For the forum to flourish, everyone needs to be chatting and involving themselves in daily threads, sharing their personal experiences/thoughts and engaging in semi-constructive conversation with each other.

ironically, this thread has been an excellent one, a self-fulfilling prophecy if I ever saw one

Discords? The only one I'm aware of is the official neets.net one, and it's quite dead. No more than one neets.net discord should be active, so as to not drain activity from the site itself.

So far there's no one here
