In the time I am a m,ember several times the end of the General Forum was predicted.

Currently we observe low activity... anybody seeing an end of the Forum?

It hasn't actually died as far as I remember, but it was shut down once or twice in the very early years.

The main shutdown that I remember was when things got overloaded with a bunch of 'soap opera drama', and personal attacks. That finally led to a total forum shutdown for a few days, or maybe longer.

When it did come back, the moderator program came with it.

There is certainly less activity than there once was. Perhaps some of it has to do with people getting use to the New Format?

the flora and fauna of the forum may fail
but like an earth sans humans, it'll prolly prevail

The new update has not been congruent with the current forum population.

I wonder if Russ is ruing the day he farmed out some of the work to the likes of BiggDog and Orangutan.

@Russ

I will keep doing my best to keep alive this forum graveyard you’ve recently created.

Just call me Dr Frankenstein.

Let's see if I'm still an RHP programmer.

Edit: yep! 😂

You do this like you haven’t been lying about it for the last several years.

I’m not against Russ contracting coders, I just wish he’d used people who were good.

I haven't been.

I've never programmed for RHP.

I just know more about using computers than you do, and you're not as clever as you think you are.

It's approaching summertime (at least in the Northern Hemisphere).

But yeah, many have announced "the end is near!"

Ain't happening.
