Personally, I have been very interested in creating a small online community. I like 22chan, it's pretty comfy and everyone seems chill. Especially with the site design for October.
So I guess I'm wondering, why do people create IBs in the first place?

some people want a specific topic to discuss that you can't normally find on other sites. some people hate the state of "insert site here" and want to create an alternatve. some people want to know what it feels like to run 4chan (or insert site here). some people want to test their skills so they make an IB to test shit out, some are super fucking jewish so they make IBs to steal peoples data, to steal from other communities, give infomation to feds, or for shady reasons that can't be understood.
>for shady reasons that can't be understood.
like what? people need to realize that just because you don't understand something doesn't mean they have bad intentions.

imagine making an altchan to fuck with specific people, or better yet weird generic altchan out of bare bones code with genric run of the mill names with zero moderation that is then shilled on thousands of sites and altchans only for it to be deleted a day later.

imagine not being a useful idiot.
I've never really felt like I wanted to create an imageboard myself, but if I were to guess, I'd say it's probably gratifying when other people engage with something you've made/control. This is a very human feeling that also motivates artists (and many others too I bet). Additionally, creating a small community allows you to make it exactly how you like and to experiment with new ideas. I also suspect that some people enjoy the feeling of power and importance they get by being *the* site owner.
Personally, I've fantasized about making a website where people can spontaneously collaborate on projects. Like for example, someone records a guitar riff and uploads it, then another user adds a bass line, and then someone else adds drums or sings on top, until the song is complete. I've seen stuff like this happen on 4chan, but having a website specifically dedicated to this would be pretty cool. But I don't think I'll ever bother with it.
