Post by kukushka »

this forum has a massive amount of old posts giving it the appearance of being busy but actually day to day activity/users seems really low. has the forum always been this way?

It goes through phases of being busy and then quiet etc. At the moment the forum is pretty quiet.
You are free to make any decision you desire, but you are not free from the consequences of those decisions.

Yes, this forum is basically dead at this point other than a few regulars who continue posting but who knows how long that will even last. I'm new here and have been trying to get caught up on this forum and can see that it had much more activity in the past. Even Winston seems to have given up on it and only seems to post once in awhile when he's either defending himself against someone making a mean comment to him or literally talking to himself in one of the threads that he only posts and responds to.

At this point, HA is being used almost like a private community, with a handful of posters creating new topics or weighing in.

Notably, one of HA's most beloved Members, @Falcon has been back for a few days, writing quality posts.

I think there is a mutual understanding, among all the long-time Members at least, that, no matter how long they will be out of here, they will always be welcome back and be "among old friends".

I think this is the real positive about HA.

Yes.. this forum is dying a slow putrid death. I'm taking a "real hiatus" now not that anyone here cares, anyway.
It's been fun , but I'm really bored now since cornfed is gone. Bye guys. Sayonara.

I don't know why he would get into a scrap with Wintson though. But it's strange how this place is dying, X/Twitter is still very much alive.

You mean I am not spouting nonsense about treating black as animals, Western women as slaves, and killing 99.9% of the world population. Guilty as charged! :)

To be fair, you know a forum has gotten bad and is dying when even someone like Cornfed leaves because it's below his standards.

Most forums have closed down. This has survived over a lot of them thus is doing well in comparison, it's a shame the forum model of communication and debate has decreased from where we were with it 10-15 years ago.

I am not so shure about that. Troll forums like this are mostly closed but many are going very strong but trolls get banned quickly there.
