I check reports for the vtuber threads for around 5-6 hours per day, and I support the idea of a new board for mainly three reasons. The first is that the two hololive threads are a massive presence, accounting for over 90% of the board's traffic. Whenever a holo thread archives, people attempt to make a new one instantly, and if many people try this at once it can kill off old threads without warning. Combine this with the tendency of posters to leak out and post holos outside of the vtuber threads, or to ignore the board's etiquette, and this has made some people rather irritated. The second is that there's only one thread for vtubers outside the big 2 companies, and it's often filled solely with discussion of VOMS or "groomed indies" to where discussing anything else isn't really possible. Thus groups that are popular and have fans like Animare or Honey Strap never get discussed because it's drowned out by something else. And that something is my third reason: infighting. All of these threads are terrible at not taking bait, and get derailed constantly by trolling. Part of this is natural, but having everyone contained in 4 threads to begin with generates friction, so when people start to rub shoulders it gets nasty.

What my fellow janitor wrote above is true: This stuff burns you out. The 2 slower threads are usually chill, but all four are like combustion engines that can go off at anytime and look like a nuclear reactor failure. A new board may not solve all of it, but it will give some breathing room to the people who genuinely want to discuss vtubers versus the ones who want to partake in /v/ tier shitflinging, as a lot of them want to do. If it does get made, I'd be glad to help keep it clean. There would still be issues to deal with, but the threads on /jp/ are only getting worse, so it's a change worth contemplating.
