So, it's a bit slow here, is there a way to bring cool peeps here to hang out?

Is there a large female userbase we can advertise to? /cgl/ and PULL but do we really want them here?

iono just something to discuss

No. 50649

/cgl/ is a given, I think gurugossiper would be a good target audience too.
This conversation might be better suited for /meta/ tho.

No. 50651

>>50649

Agreed, this is more suited to /meta/.

Regarding a population increase… I'm kind on the fence because on one hand I'm unsure as to whether new users would benefit the board positively (we could potentially get an influx of SJW's), but on the other hand the current population is stagnating and not bringing anything new to the table aside from infighting and aggression.

>influx of SJWs

Eh, if that happened we would just have to keep enforcing the norms of *chan culture. It's hard to change the culture of an entire site.

This belongs is /meta/ and I don't think we really need a flood of people coming in. Lots of people on here are quick to jump down each other's throats for stupid shit and it would just get worse if new people joined the board. But we might get better content on /pt/ and /snow/. I'm not sure if we really need lots of new people.

how about reddit? We could post about our board on the makeup subreddits or that sort of thing

it would bring fresh blood, a little variety and spice to posts

No. 50687

>>50681
Yeah this sounds like an OK idea. Reddit is good medium between 4chan edgelords and tumblr SJWs. They might like the Doe Deere and Michelle Phan threads.

If you're going to advertise make sure to lurk and test the waters with some slightly un-pc things. Some subreddits are even worse than tumblr.

tbh we were all SJW at some point. We were all new once upon a time

If they are actually interested in what this board has to offer (e.g. they are involved in cosplay/lolita and not a tumblrite, or they follow some of the lolcows discussed here) they'll find out about us eventually. Advertising the site will just attract newfags who don't mesh with the board culture, as well as scrutiny from moralfags.

Like, you're talking about advertising on reddit… I can't think of any subreddits that would enjoy the culture here. All of the female-focused subreddits I've seen are ultra-PC and polite if not outright SJW.

/r/muacirclejerk has similar bitchy humor.
Even though most subreddits are vocally PC there are always some lurking dissenters. Might be worth a shot.

They're fine with making fun of bad makeup and reddit trends, but try calling someone fat or ugly.

No. 50730

We have ALL been newfags at some point tho

No. 50737

newfag stumbling into a place of interest is different than it being advertised to people who do not understand chan culture.

don't do this.

No. 50747

>>50737
Agreed. People who will fit in well here will find us on their own. I seriously cannot think of a single place to advertise lolcow besides the chans that would not just be inviting cancer.

For the record, thanks to the gull(s) subtly pointing out this forum on /cgl/ earlier this year… would've taken me longer to come across it on my own.

No. 50750

What about ediotz? Pretty much everyone there is female + interested in cows. A good portion of the userbase are sick of the influx of whiney sjws/annoying mods/lack of content etc. Or they were last time I checked. I don't use it anymore since I found lolcow, and I was a member for years.

The sjws there aren't especially hardcore and will most likely shut up/and or leave once they realise their shit won't fly here and no one is backing them up.

No. 50824

Maybe other chans?
There's probably a few women who regularly browse them, that don't know about this one. They'd probably appreciate a more woman-focused board with 100% less "tits or gtfo".
Any other place would be too risky I think.

No. 50827

>>50824
The problem with chans is that we would need to target a female specific board, and ever since /fem/ died those have been few and far between

/fa/ is now full of men, and /lgbt/ is full of trans and pedolesbians, the latter of which would love the dakota threads

No. 50850

>>50827
You're right, I wouldn't want to bring in a bunch of neckbeards or trolling teenage boys.

No. 50855

>>50824
Look at the robot thread. That's who you're gonna bring.

No. 50869

No.
You're either going to attract feminazis, tumblrinas or neckbeards

No. 50871

Maybe someone could make a secret about lolcowchan to BtB?

No. 50900

/cgl/ and /cgl/ clones are the only places it should be advertised. Advertise it anywhere else, and you're going to get a ton of undesirables.
