It’s easy to forget that for the longest time, /qa/ has been a rather unstructured place. When it was split off of the main site a year and a half now, it was still largely a matter of wandering around and seeing what you might find. This, of course, leads to the more important question of how we’re going to improve /qa/ if we haven't even reached post no. 100000! 4cuck's /qa/ could get that amount of posts in two weeks!
Fortunately for us, the recent jump in visibility and public notoriety (as much as “being a giant cesspit of coal” can be viewed as “publicity”) has caused a huge change: People now perceive /qa/ as a place that actually matters.
While the basic ideology of /qa/ is still the same – that there is no actual community consensus regarding anything – the general shape of the board has changed quite a bit over the years. Yet it's not nearly as active now. Why?
