Where did everybody go?
Lonely
I am here in spirit. Chemo treatments leaves me pretty tired .
It's not like the old days for sure.

I think forums of all types have been cannibalized somewhat by social media. I've seen the same thing on a couple of non-gun forums where I have been a member for a long time. These things happen. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, Usenet was really hopping. Then came My Space and Facebook, and a lot of the discussion groups on all kinds of topics got clobbered. But the BST options here offer a foundation missing on most social media platforms, so I don't see FSN and the like disappearing like Usenet did.

n0rlf, I hope your treatments are successful.
Certainly has been slow since the big crash.

I'm still here and will stay here. I do check it on a daily basis. I may not post daily because there isn't much more to say than I've already said.
But if something does come up that hasn't been discussed, previously (or I can't remember when it was), I'll bring it up.

Here just has died down and will neve be like it used too.
Everybody's got a plan until they get hit.
ARFCOM and Reddit saw huge increases in traffic (not as much as pre-social media, but a significant amount of returnees that left for a while) after Facebook and the other SM platforms decided we're undesirable. FSN should have done the same. I'm not sure if the outages or lack of promotion played a part, but they couldn't have helped.tector wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 12:12 pm I think forums of all types have been cannibalized somewhat by social media.
