It do be like that.

c/memes aside, I remember starting my own webforum on InvisionFree in 2006. Place was a barren wasteland, but in fairness it was for a very specific niche game at the time (Armored Core) and the target market was also tiny (players in the Philippines). Lo and behold, one by one people came. 17 years and a lot of host and software migrations later, that forum is still standing.

If you build it, they will come. Eventually.

Armoured core was great, unfortunately I was too busy picking flax on Runescape in 2006 so never found your forum.

Spent my childhood carrying out my dream as a coal miner, how romantic.
