I probably hafta agree with Speedyquad - it seems a LOTTA folks are "cutting back" on the internet forums - especially those of us who have been on them for 10-15 years. I know I have.
Internet forums of this style have been around since the early 2000's (& Yahoo forums before that!), blossoming in the wake of 9/11, as a way to have a voice against 'peaceful mohammedanism,' anti-gun legislation, and shifts in cultural tides.
FAZEbook, Tweeter, and other dumbphone-friendly fads have supplanted ye olde web forum for many, but as such mediums turn more politically-correct, I think folks who truly want to TALK about such banned subjects elsewhere, will wander back.
The biggest forums keep trucking along, but it's almost time for a generational shift on such boards as these. Gen X and Gen Y took to them first, and have kept them going all these years. The first millennials will graduate from High School soon. Their "newbie-ness" notwithstanding, I'm sure they will inject a new life and direction into so many forums - including this one.
Meet ya' at the bridge.
