My room is a mess. I don't blame the room.
Your 3ft x 3ft room. How did you possibly manage that?

I always find it a bit ironic that this topic always takes place on a forum. You never see a Twitter or FB conversation about "OMG, forums are dying, that's why I'm here instead!" taking place.
I agree, I think its more a matter of execution. Ignoring the bias in that I'm specifically aiming to solve this issue; I agree its more in how admins view their boards.I personally don't think we're one or two amazing software features away from having forum software that will magically solve the forum activity issue
It depends on what is considered "successful". I have a couple of small forums that make money every month. They don't make a lot of money, but they make money. For me that is successful.I can't name one "successful" new forum that has started in the last 3 years. 90% of them have closed or "been sold".
In general the internet is dying. People are waking up and getting a life again- sans social media, forums, etc….just my opinion. Normals are overshadowed by the loonies now online, creating negativity everywhere and fueling the return to nature, life, real LIVE local friends, etc... Thank goodness.

topic/point of no return is/he/shee is so bioactive almost superactiveYou have 800,000+ posts in 2 years? What's the topic?
I'm curious about this too. @FrederikP can you please share a link?You have 800,000+ posts in 2 years? What's the topic?
I can say, personally, there's not much online that I find myself wanting to contribute to anymore. I think it has a lot to do with how the Internet has changed. I definitely have no interest in registering to new sites like I used to. In fact, I'm not an active member on any forums.or a change in behavior (unwillingness to spend time/effort on things like registering on a forum and setting preferences and such)

My life has started revolving around other types of communities (i.e., twitch/discord), and real life friends. I also have no drive to post a meaningful discussion via a mobile device. It's just too much effort for no real gain for me. I've generally become disinterested in online interactions apart from a select few.
I've tried as much as I can with it, but really struggling now to come up with new ideas.
I've said in the other (current) thread about this subject that what you need is a USP. For us that's our culture. Our members come to us to discuss their work with other professionals in a field where treating your work like it's professional is met with scorn (as are most creatives who attempt to earn a living from creativity - cue the outcries about how art should be free and how paying money for it is dirty and unclean), and there are very few places on the internet where they can get that.
For you it may be something different. But it still needs to be something your members can't get on Facebook.
