Forum boards, in general, aren't really a dying breed. Forums are just no longer growing in popularity.

One might claim that social media is the cause, but I don't think that's it at all.

I think the internet is overwhelmed with ✨ cool ✨ places to hangout.

So any potential userbase is already stretched very thin, as people find- or have already found, their preferred spot.

On a more personal level, I think Discord and Reddit are trashy af hangouts.

Discord has severe security issues and Reddit is a constant dumpster fire full of stupidity and clap backs trying to boost fragile egos.

Well, I mean... to each their own. But give me a slightly dead forum board any day, over other forms of social media.

With that all said, I haven't had any problems getting or starting roleplays here. There's been a few duds, for sure, but that hasn't discouraged me from playing.
