I have noticed many times that when a community gets forked like what happened to Lainchan, its following gets cut by more than half. This is because half stay with the old place, half stay with the new thing, and an indeterminate amount end up leaving due to the impending drama from the fork.
I do feel that the downfall of the other site is entirely due to its sole admin.
I have a hard time distinguishing between either's community and I just end up browsing both. I wish agreements could be made to connect both sites again.
I wonder what kind of overlap there is in users.
The other site is classic in name, but this place is classic in the sense that it's run by the original crew.
I don't know.

Great, here's a chance to talk about /them/
Not in a drama kind of way, but it's entirely on topic.
I see a lot of accusation over there about on the .jp userbase, on actions that I don't see reflected here. I hardly see any discussion about the other site over here.
What is funny, however, is that their counterpart to this board does a lot and I mean A LOT of publicity to this site. People are actively invited to come over here on that board. Often in a very funny way.
I do think this is "classic lainchan" and that, in terms of content, character and userbase, the other site I consider to be "new lainchan". Here's the main reason: "new" lainchan is indistinguishable from 8ch at this point, whereas "classic" lainchan had it's own character which I see reflected here. Part of that is having a small userbase, so I'm okay with the split in this sense.
I would have been annoyed if users here were salty and constantly talking about them, as they do about "us". But it ain't and I ain't.

>>1291its unfortunate that our popularity is tied to the image that that other site projects, since we have the same name. but, seph/kalyx should start advertising like the old days. banners, parties, stickers, and spam.
