I just figured everyone on here was ancient. Forums don't seem to be what they used to with all the Facebook groups and whatnot now.
Depends on the site, I have seen some forums wither over time while others are so active I can’t even keep up with the fresh content. I believe it’s challenging to hit the right combination of moderation to keep people engaged but not arguing. Most of the sites I have dropped over the years were because of that sort of childish keyboard cowboy behavior. You say hot, and someone else says cold, because they enjoy contradicting others.
I’ve backed off from FB and haven’t even opened my account in months. Too much blatant social engineering.
