well it is a test board

How many hidden boards are there?

>>809
One (/negi/) but you might see a new one pop up next month ;)

>>808
I don't know how you test something if nobody knows about it. Maybe I'm an idiot idk.

How do we save /negi/?

>>859
We don't

>>859
日本語をしてくれよ

>>861
日本語が話せません :(

Mikuchan.org used to have international boards. One was Japanese, and I think they had a Spanish one too.

And well, they failed. I don't think /negi/ will attract much people tbh. But it is cool as a hidden board.

Building a Japanese board won't form a Japanese userbase. That's before you even confront that most Japanese fans are dismissive of overseas fandom or actively deride it.

Maybe /negi/ would have more activity if its scope was broadened. Instead of just Japanese, it could allow all languages, and could have flags like /int/; a cultural exchange board but for Vocaloid specifically. That way its activity would not be entirely dependent on its Japanese userbase; we probably have multilingual posters on /leek/ already. But it could invite a lot really dumb nationalism, which could spread to the rest of the site, and moderating it would be headache.

I'd say keep the site in English. Only a small amount of Japanese users post on the site and when they do they type in English (see >>>/j/322). Same applies to the other non-Japanese posters.
