So how does it work? Creating a new online community.

If you were to create a website that is to be an online community (forum, textboard, imageboard, hybrid, anything etc) how do you get people to it if you were not to go out and ``advertise'' it and instead simply just created the website, made it searchable through search engines utilizing keywords and the URL of the site, and simply letting it sit? Will people discover it and then stay and start posting?

In the days when >>1 was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the X86-32.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am creating an entirely new online community whose culture isn't influenced by 4chan/chans, reddit, other major online cultures, and of course /prog/, by advertising to random technical but normal people.” >>1 replied.

“Why are you advertising randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I don't want it to have any preconceptions of how to post.”, >>1 said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, >>1 asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, >>1 was enlightened.
