launched late 2016 (as far as I remember). Then the whole thing was

relaunched (as the present incarnation) in March 2017. And in October it

moved to



Since March 31, 2017, there's been 1,312 posts in 246 threads, by our

147 members. More than three posts per day, with more than four replies

per thread. Our most active threads have well over 20 replies each.

Additionally there's been a lot of guest visitors, contributing to our

most viewed threads, which have thousands of views. I can't recall the

last time I noticed there being less than 10 guests per 15 minutes. And

I know several people who visit the board regularly without joining or

posting.



And as that indicates—despite being reasonably successful for a forum in

this day and (social media) age—not everything came up roses. Only

slightly more than every third poster has posted anything at all. If you

adjust for the most active posters, the average poster has very few

posts—sometimes only their introduction post. Finally, lots of people

who routinely "lurk", never feel the desire to join up at all.



Still; an anti-civ Internet forum with an active core group of posters

(and even an active IRC channel) is pretty remarkable as-is. I'm

genuinely surprised that the universe hasn't collapsed due to the weight

of our hypocrisy—using technology to criticise technology, we must be

utter mad.



For our second year, it would be nice to see our core group of posters

to double. In order to accomplish this, we need to do two things well.

Firstly, we need to reach new people. Secondly, and probably most

importantly, we need to make sure the people who are already familiar

with the site—i.e. YOU!—find it worthwhile. There are some measurements

under way to help accomplish both of these things. But, ultimately,

we're not concerned with having lots of discussion for discussion's

sake, but having good discussion. As such,

already a success to us few regulars!



I hope to see more people joining up and adding their thoughts to ours,

so we can all think together. Or, you know, post anti-civ memes or

whatever. Anti-civ-curious and anti-anti-civ people are welcome too!

As you guys know, this isn't some elite community. We don't even

moderate posts. (Spambots notwithstanding.)



More than anything, I hope to see the people who have already joined

up—YOU!—being active. So if you have any suggestions on how to make the

forum more worth your time, please let us know! It's been about a year's worth of https://anti-civ.net ! anti-civ.org waslaunched late 2016 (as far as I remember).

I don't know what it is, unfortunately. If someone knows it, feel free to get the word out to them! And feel free to post this around in general. I made a post on raddit/raddle, which, though I visit very rarely, I happen to have an account on. https://against-leviathan.com/ Find Reply Chushing
