Are forum websites dying or is there

[Fait]

I will run forums until they are all gone, i'm sure i will be gone before then.

i think facebook will be gone before forums that guy has lost the plot.

What is the point of that, do they make a lot from advertising on the site or something, or is it just bleeding money?

No idea, Even with ads, can't see making enough to pay the members

Or until you run out of money

View attachment 380Over at Twitter which doesn’t make any sense at all because for 300K apparent users they only get 6 likes on their Twitter?

After looking at Strim Social's site, all I can say to this is..... sure..

There are a lot of deeply questionable visitor statistics all over the net

Agreed, it sounds like it has something to do with a social group for people who like trimming the edge of their lawn.

I own a forum myself so hoping it’s not to late to get something going.

If Facebook etc.. bans certain niches, then they are forced to use regular forums.

That’s a good point, can’t always trust big tech!!

No they’re not dying at all. They’ve just hit a wall with social media and Reddit. Slowly but surely they’ll make a come back. People want to be a part of something that’s more personal as opposed to a Walmart like Facebook.

I agree that people are realising that they want to be part of more personal communities than Facebook offers, but I don't know if that is going to be from traditional forums or from smaller social networks.

I’ve had my site for 6 months and I’m honestly unsure if I will find success with it but only the future can tell if traditional forums can hold up.

You can keep it going longer than that I have been running my site for coming up seven years now and it's still going with not much traffic.

The good news is at least it doesn’t cost as much money or bandwidth to keep it up!
