As it is, online forums have been effectively dead for years, and they have rapidly aged out as a way to discuss games and products. Everything has long since moved on to other platforms, apps and social media channels, for better or for worse. Inevitably, this means forums are going to decline in activity and popularity, no matter what you do. It's largely only the long-term veteran user base that continues to use them heavily.

Not doomsday at all. Life goes on and I will live with whatever decision gets made. It might actually be kind of fun giving the patrol boys more stuff to report to the mods and or demand to be moved to the proper place. I'm not someone that likes to do long running reports like Brad and Luckyman do. I suck at writing, I'm not creative and I'm a serial starter and stopper when it comes to leagues. One thing I do like to do is discuss things that happen in my leagues. Where do I do that to not offend a patrol boy? Back during 16, Actionjackson and I had a year long discussion thread that was nothing more than us comparing stuff that was going on in our leagues. Lots of folks joined in. Little did I know we were upsetting the masses by creating clutter. Oh and back in the day a certain forum legend Vanilla Gorilla got me hooked on Random Debut by posting some of the greatest league reports ever in the Historical Forum.
