I wouldn't, because that implies a forum lives or dies with specific members. If they did, they'd die all the time, and usually pretty young.

A forum is just a culture and mass of activity: it's...

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

Here, I'll give you guys until tomorrow to figure out if the site is dying. After that, no promises about how many more years you'll be able to try to decide in here.

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

I should probably close this thread. :laugh: It's years and years old and keeps getting bumped, which I guess answers the titular question.

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

I just don't understand the logic of people who have been given a second (or third, or, uh...fourth) chance questioning others getting the same treatment.

People would be surprised at how many of...

You guys do realize moderators have actions available between "this person is banned" and "nobody's doing anything about this person," right? You also realize that if something gets deleted, you...

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

Wanna echo what nostromo said: not all activity is sustainable. People who live on a forum tend to burn out. It seems healthier until suddenly it's not.

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

It was ongoing, and I can't really explain the why. You didn't miss any big trigger or event.

Re: Is Movie Forums DYING?

The only events I was aware of didn't seem particularly significant, but maybe I lacked relevant context. Regardless, I think if anyone is upset by what someone says, the available options are:
