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

You should know . . . [;)]

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.

Like i said, you should know. [;)]

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.

I check it daily, occasionally post.

I wonder how many are still here from the Class of 2000?

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