Yeah so here's the thing.
Of the people who were active on Old Ponychan, roughly 15% ever came here. Most of those also post on Ponyville. Of the remaining 85%, those who are still around in some capacity, all went straight to Ponyville. Ponyville already had a dedicated user group of about 25 users who have no interest in going anywhere else.
So if you have "Generic Thread #726" that you want to post, and you know that in addition to the 'shared' users, you can reach 4 unique users here, whereas on Ponyville, you can reach roughly 60 additional unique users, where are you going to post that thread if you actually want people to respond to it?
Let's take a 'hypothetical' user. You get an order of magnitude more engagement on Ponyville due to users*[chance to engage], and since you
just aren't getting the results you want here when you post here, because the 8 people here don't respond to you as much as the 72 over there, you give up and start posting there exclusively. Anything you do post here, is not because it's your first choice, but rather it's something that isn't allowed on Ponyville. Eventually you stop coming here altogether. So now there's even less incentive for anyone else to post here either, as you become another dedicated Ponyville user and one less person who can engage with anything here.
So yeah, the site is dead. You're not telling us something we don't already know. The people who didn't already move to Ponyville exclusively all have one foot out the door already and it's just a matter of time before they leave as well. When people do come here to try to engage, dumbasses redirect them back to Ponyville. because stupid fucking retards don't understand that telling people to post somewhere else, means less people who have any reason whatsoever to post here. No one actually gives enough of a shit to try to make a difference.
