True. However it would be the biggest English-Speaking board on the net. I'm sure a fair few companies would like to advertise once they knew that statistic. Plus we could always try and wrangle some sort of deal with server providers like the Jpas apparently did. And even 2channel can run on a volunteer staff picked from members who post mostly anonymously and only post trips when doing important modding.
meh, just think that if this board was set up as a tribute to 2channel. It should AIM to be the All-English version of 2channel.
