Are we really taking attendance here?

Forums are a dying breed. The future is for instant gratification and superficiality.

I have 30 years of experience in forums, many of them as a moderator. I've been seeing a significant drop in forum engagement for a long time, not to mention quality content. Of course, there are always exceptions, but the trend is what it is.

I think there are a lot more choices out there. I wonder how people read forums? Do they read forums mostly on their desktop, laptop, or moblie device? Where do they play? I mostly read forums on a moblie device while on my commute or during work breaks. ( I also shop from my moblie device. ) But I prefer to play on a desktop. Ocassionly, I play certain 2d WG games on a laptop. .

I get the impression you talk softly and carry a big stick. At least dje held the record for a day for the least amount of posts over a long time-span. We now have a new record holder with -pag-, Congratulations..!![:)]

I think the older folks and the older war gamers do the most with forums. I frequent Discord, but I still go to Matrix, Shrapnel, TWS, GameSquad, ConsimWorld and The Blitz for forum reading.

I think the new crowd uses Discord, Twitch and whatever the next new shinny thing is.

Most of the forums I go to, you can post a paragraph or two and folks will read and engage with the dialog. The new crowds seem to like Discord and one or two sentence postings until the wind blows...

I visit very rarely nowadays.

That stems from the cock up with the logins for both Matrix and Slitherine. While I can login in here on the forum, I can't log in at Slitherine and I can't log in at the Matrix Store, where I wanted to buy WarPlan Pacific. I bought WarPlan on Steam.

I even tried setting up a new user account for the store and was told I would receive a confirmation email. [:D]

Pfff... I'll buy it on Steam.

But yea, over the last few years, people appear to me to be taking their forum posting over at Steam.

Lava, the unified login got me too but was eventually resolved. I forget now how, but I think tech people sorted it out.
