Controversial Why did Thriller Bark Forums fail so spectacularly as an Orojackson successor but Worstgen succeeded?

[Mr. Reloaded]

I remember on the final days of Orojackson when the OJ mods tried to push Thriller Bark as their new successor after they shut down and would actively delete any talk about Worstgen in threads. Flash foward to today and Thriller Bark is a barren wasteland whereas Worstgen (even if we're not as active as 2020-2022) still breathes some life here and there. And it's always made me curious, like what happened there?

I mean you could've just asked mw if you only wanted to9 know lol

 

[NikaInParis]

It was up to which of the two forums got a certain user and made him mod.
The rest was an inevitable course of events.

 

[ElderOnitar]

certain user

you mean, that man?

I knew there were a few people like @Rej who are also on the site and wanted to get as many takes as possible. It wasn't entirely for chaos lol.

 

[NikaInParis]

Yes

 

[Owl Ki]

They're mostly a games forum, aren't they? Role Play and Mafia? They don't seem to discuss One Piece much. That probably makes it a bit too niche for most folk.

a breakup killed TB that's it

it wasn't as active as WG cause TB was created for a niche but it wasn't doing so bad either till that breakup

I wasn't really active here until that incident

Just putting it here. CHATGPT DID A DEEP ANALYSIS.

As far as know, Orojackon had some moderation issues but i don't know the full history....

And TB is centered in role play games which is not a good idea

We need to understand what makes an forum active.

manga Spoilers/general discussions/powerscaling/theories/mafia games, all of these stuff has their respective enjoyers.

I would say Worstgen has good base based on manga spoilers especially One Piece spoilers, which i'm 100% a good amount of non-members lurking in this website only looking for spoilers.

Stop using AI and start to elaborate your own thoughs

How would I give my own thoughts on something I was never part of?

 

[Sentinel]

The mods got a very bad reputation after they misused their "authority" for the smallest things and perma banned users whenever they liked.
So who would join their new forum back then?

 

[Yoho]

The answer to this question and most questions revolving around forums is management

Just like management can make or break a job it can also make and break a forum

you're part of WG and you4 screenshot is describing WG

 

[Cruxroux]

you're part of WG and your screenshot is describing WG

I cropped it. It explicitly explains why Worstgen worked due to its toxic culture.
It was mostly because of toxicity left unchecked by mods.
