I remember in the past being part of a horse forum, big dog forum, etc and those have all gone poof as message boards are harder to find. It's mostly blogs, youtube, social media sites, and such so even though we're small.....
We're mighty!!!!!
Yes we are Kat and becoming more unique as time goes by. My personal opinion is it's because people want to make money from their forums/websites.
I'm not a member of many forums myself, but hose that I do know of have sponsors, ads, or ask for donations Also a lot of forums have died because of the big social media sites, we can't compete with places like FB or exTwit so it's difficult for people to find us.
But those that do find us these days tend to be the sort of people we want to attract, they want a place just like what we have created.
It's been a long time since I even visited another forum and as I recall even a few years back the ads were taking them over. Plus most of them were full of trolls. I just quit even checking any out although I don't ever run across any either. Mostly blogs where there are comment sections or something of that nature and based on the comments it seems to be mostly people who just want to cause trouble.
