The meme aside, it really does seem like activity has hit the lowest levels I've ever seen. Just look at the latest responses on the second thread of each forum. It ranges for days to weeks, and across the board, even some of the most recent posted in topics have comments in that same spectrum.

RIP

It's funny because as soon as a new thread is posted people will still reply so everyone remaining is just lurking waiting for someone else to post something.

Need some Halo nights now.

oh boy, a new thread

Maybe we're all bored out of our gourds.

We've banned all the extremes, drama died of old age, and no one cares enough to question Verb's stances on anything or Secondclasses' somehow ever-spiralling descent.

The time has passed for new folk to arrive because all of the niches and cliques within have amalgamated into the entire forum.

We're all waiting for the revival that'll never happen, and I say that with some sadness considering I don't feel like I really 'know' anyone here.

everyone has just gone off into their own groups or moved on entirely. I don't really see why there would be a resurgence, just occasional shitposting whenever you remember this place exists. That is if you aren't one of the people that feels bad or is worried about their post history on this site affecting their business life or has some strange sort of guilt over saying things in what for many of us was the most tumultuous times of our lives

send an email to every address connected to an account here with something like “we really miss you uwu”

By default every PM you send generates an email notification with text of message.

Also actually I going to do it lol. Why not. "Come back 2 sep7agon, we really miss you uwu"

yeah

No offshoot forum lasts forever. No forum lasts forever. Age probably doesn't help. Like, three quarters of the people here have lives and those ties are more important than the occassional heartbeat over here.

Once you know everybody, there's nothing new coming in either. In a physical sense, if we all sat down at a restaurant together, we'd be the crowd of people you see that don't say much but just hang out like regulars(assuming that certain members didn't burst into flames in the same room with each other)

Cynical outlook. Honestly the personalities on Bnet and elsewhere were really important to me. And I don't think I'd be where I am today without this site

I won't lie, I had some great times here. Bnet was my first proper experience with an online Community and the 2010s were golden. The Coup Group pretty much became my second home, I used to love hanging out with Sapphire, Nero Lord, Teh Chaz, Panho etc.

When Destiny happened and the place went tits up this place was a great offshoot where I got to hang out with faces I recognised and new ones that I didn't. Made plenty of new memories here like the MGSV hype thread, Roman's booty quest, the card game etc. Those will never go away.

I've found myself a bit less interested in visiting for the past few years though, I'm not sure if it's the lack of activity not motivating me or that I just can't get much joy out of a forum. People drift away, new faces come and go and while it's nice to see some of the same people here still posting, I dunno, I just don't feel much of an urge anymore. I hope everyone is doing well though!
