EXCERPT: [...] Other forums that I had joined, such as Evyl,org and My Board Is Down have long since disappeared. (One crashed when someone replied to an old thread with an e-mail that no longer existed, wiping out hundreds of threads). Though I was never deeply involved in those as I was RT or Cyburbia, there were some cool responses to some threads that I wrote (such as my repeat dream thread also posted here) that are lost forever.
As far as Cyburbia goes, it doesn't have nearly the traffic it used to. As you may have seen me note earlier, Page 1 activity rarely went back more than 48 hours during the heyday of the mid-2000s. Now, threads posted way back on November 21, are still on page 1, over ten days ago. There are a lot of members that I haven't seen in years. And the gallery can't seem to accept new uploads.
So what do you think? Are vBulletin type forums rapidly becoming a thing of the past as people move to more interactive venues like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Do you belong to any other vBulletin type forums? If so, how have those fared over the past five years or so. What does the future hold for Cyburbia as we all age and, other than The Terminator, get few newer and younger members? Will this forum even be around in five years?
