We used to have some more regular contributers here who posted some good shit, then vanished off the face of the earth. People like BarkingBaphomet, Shadow-345, iceflamez, Atomichotwings, klownz, RedHawk10, sethyeah, slasherfan85, AlcoholicNinja, Moffat, and all those others who rarely/never posted, but at least lurked. Anybody know what hole they all crawled into?
I'd think that some of the political talk scared 'em off, but even after the government calmed down and there was no talk of this shit, that didn't seem to make a difference anymore. People stayed gone, and things got a bit stagnant.
So where did they all migrate to? Internet addicts like that don't simply "get a life" and move on, or move to facebook. Most of the aforementioned users don't even frequent the other imdb knockoff sites, so wtf happened to the age of internet forums? How do we get that back? How do we bring the old blood back here, and how do we get new blood?
I think of this stuff sometimes, and it makes me sad. I miss the days when there was too much activity for me to keep up with, and people were excited to see what an alternative website could offer them. I guess they didn't find it here.

dont do fb, twitter, insta or any of that. am on discord and that along streaming sites like rabbit, seem to have overtaken forums as platforms for interaction. guess as it lends itself more toward immediacy in communication, a massive multi channel chatroom. that and people wanting to talk, cam, generally share stuff all the time. mainly younger gen i suppose, and im not massively keen on it myself.
that said, do find using those sites more and more often over TE. never write posts here about movies now, because ive already had live chat with people about it, or whatever.
its a bit sad, and i'll try to rectify with some drunken nonsense post onenight.
the recent drafts did ignite some activity, which is good. i tried to lure people here with them, but looks like everything everywhere all the time wins.
