Stop being unnecessarily difficult/argumentative.

It's well known that the younger generation don't USUALLY gravitate towards forums.

Hence the popularity of subreddits, discord and the likes with the younger fans.

Of course there are going to be exceptions to the rule.

However per my point.

The older talking over 30 maybe 35 now.. Will have their favourite forum.. there is no point trying to actively promote this place in my opinion. You will only seek out alternatives if you no longer have access to it. (As you already agreed above).

It's obvious you disagree so let's leave it there.
Per my point - check how many new users we've had (and lost perhaps) over say the past 5 years. It's clear as I stated that, short of advertising, which we don't do / can't afford, being able to be found via search engines (which will have trawled and aggregated many years of 6CM) is pretty much the only way new blood (of any age) can be found.

To say nothing of say a move to Discord costing the loss of more members for one reason or another.

That's not being unnecessarily argumentative, it's called debate and laying out the pros and cons.

No one is wanting to move to discord right now froggy. You are missing the point.

Plan A is to fix the forum for a long term future. And the guys behind the scenes will try plan A through to the very end.

The "backup" is a discord server which looks and feels a lot like the forum. Sure it doesn't have the history etc but it's that.. a backup option.

And it may he that the back up option is temporary while someone creates a new forum. But at least there is a contingency now.

This is why Discord will never work, and even if it did, it won't last long.

Because just by looking at the numbers now

Total: 1,593 (members: 6, guests: 1,534, robots: 53)
Most visitors online was 2,651, on Dec 18, 2023

There are many lurkers on here. Not everyone's bothered to log in, so it's inaccurate to say we don't have new members visiting the site. We just scare them away enough for them to dare post.

More like the colosseum! They enjoy observing the blood bath.

I want to know which of us are robots ! Dantes, Dreamy & Moron for sure.
 
One of the reason to miss Brendan was for when he would give brave newcomers a good shoeing. It would make ensure anyone who stayed could take it and give it back.
