Yeah, I've been seeing this for the last couple of years. There used to be a huge number of interesting threads in many of the forums I read, and now it's down to bare bones and kids trying to sell Walmart junk guns. Granted, most of the FB threads are not any better, grammar and spelling being atrocious. However, it is much easier to just click the like button rather than signing up for yet another forum, I believe is the prevailing idea. I notice that even Arnie's Airsoft, which is a huge English forum, has pretty much died down to nothing. There used to be various loadout threads for various time periods and themes, picture threads about gear and guns, all manner of discussion. Now, it's down to "R8 or H8" whatever stupid identical loadout that someone posts on FB. I do miss the days of the forums, but I fear they are fast drawing to a close. I miss being able to ask questions about mag compatability or where to find a piece of gear and get a literate, well written response. The last few "goof off" threads I have posted longwinded thoughts in have been met with 3 word responses. I don't mean to be a downer or anything, but I'm ok if this forum has to be shut down. It's not really even being used, and I know it has to be a drain to keep up and running.
In any case, I have rambled on long enough. "And I for one welcome our new overlords." Kent Brockman, Channel 6 news
