Here's some (good) news:
A summary of last month since taking over as volunteer (and effectively a de facto board owner), the board has gotten a 50% increase in total posts.
We went from 1250~ to over 1800+ in the span of a single month, which is pretty huge for what was essentially a dead board before.
We are also now consistently showing up in the top boards much more often than not. (By the way, if you want to always see /a/ on the board bar, click the star shape next to the board title, it acts like a "bookmark" for the board.)
4 new banners were added, feel free to suggest and make more by the way.
Lots of new threads have been made, around 20 in fact, and some older threads have been getting new surges of activity and otherwise consistent activity.
Unfortunately I have no concrete stats about PPH and UIDs, but generally it seems to be double digits for the latter, and around normal-ish numbers for the former (as in, normal for a webring anime board in current year, more or less at certain times). For what this board is, that's pretty impressive, though its not a competition or anything.
Feel free to shill the board to people who might be interested.
