Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find a more recent post. Just wondering if there is anyone in this broke down unused thing known as the internet. :skull:

i know.


i stumble upon old internet forums in the late hours of the night sometimes. i see posts from 2009, 2005, 1999....and i think; "wonder if anyone is still using this site?"


why did it die? what possessed the last active user to lose interest?


lots of people say that social media is replacing message boards such as sthese, but are they an adequate replacement? this loner says: "NO".

Well hopefully it's alive or picks up again, this seems like a successful and relatable idea. Thank you for talking. :heart:

I'm a sporadic user; I'll post a lot, then disappear for months. I feel a lot of other users are like this. But there always seems to be something going on in Random or Members Only.

I got totally confused there until I realised 00100000 meant a gap. I would have been pretty useless at Bletchley Park :D

It's all good. I have been meaning to tell you, you have one of the most amazing avatars (clearly not as amazing as mine, but a close second, perhaps if the piglet was adorned in armor). My mother has always had a thing for collecting pig related things. It's very cute.

I have been admiring your's likewise. Yes, my piggy really needs some armour, and a banner, something along the lines of Richard III's (a white boar :pig: )

Nah. Social media is too stressful. Too much pressure to come off the right way, too much fear of being evaluated/wrongly judged and unfriended/unfollowed. I shut down all of my social media profiles recently and still prefer WP.

I've been wondering the same, I accidentally commented on a thread from ten years ago, yikes. I'd really just enjoy connecting with like minded individuals if possible, but haven't had much luck.

Anyways, if you wanna be socially anti-social with me, please feel free to PM me. :)
