I go to both 4-ch and world4ch, and on the surface it doesn't look like there's much difference in the posting rates. Is association with 4chan should give world4ch much more activity than it's seeing at least more compared to 4-ch. I think 4chan might be hindering world4ch's growth. I often find starting threads in /a with the intent of lengthy discussion while apparently ignoring the limitations of the image board format, throwing in an image as an afterthought. Of course, it barely lasts a day before it can't be bumped anymore and slips into oblivion. Had it been posted to the disscussion board, it would have had a chance to develop and grow, adding more attention and activity to the board.
