One last rule is to know the current speed of your board.
A thread under normal conditions dies after 40 minutes. You want to be around every so often to bump it.

But what will you bump it with? Not just simply say "BUMP"
Invite conversation. Make some oc, ask questions. Get to know your regulars. Make this place their new home.
Make them feel loved and welcome, only then they will stay.

As I said, keeping a general alive is a lot of work, but it is very rewarding. One day your thread will no longer need you, and you can move on. Later you will see the things you help to build, and they will call you Ozymandias, and others will see your works, and despair. But it will take time, until then, remember that every thread started small.
And also remember one day your general will be too fast to ignore the trolls. Then you must split it else it will become a schizo den. Schizos never move on. You must learn to let go not to become as them
