Sadly, this is a trend that has been seen on most forums across the internet. I'm outdated, so I do not know what the "new" thing is....but I am a member of probably 50-100 forums, and ALL of the large ones have basically died.

I think forums have surpassed their peak, as bad as I hate to admit it. I own one, and I have seen the same.

As odd as it sounds, it really seems like the internet communities have started to plateau or decline....including places like myspace and whatnot.

The new generation skipped the forums....the the mature users have slowly tapered off.

It makes me nervous, because last time I added it up I have a quarter million posts on forums.....but in 5 years I do not know how many will be left.
