10 years ago if you didn't log in every 2 hrs or so you missed a HELLOVA thread with all kinds of interesting people being respectful and actually having conversations. Now? It's like /b/ and the kids that ran it took over every forum....well actually it was vertical scope....but EVERYTHING died after that. Even the forums not run by those twat waffles.

Those "interesting people" had to go SOMEWHERE didn't they? Did they ALL just lose interest in the internet?

Are you sure they didnt go to Facebook?

When I first got into motorcycles email lists were the way to go, then not too long after it was message boards. I wonder if the message board era is ending and the people who used to spend their internet free time on message boards are spending it on Facebook. If not there then I dont know where, I guess it could be the age thing.

I dont think facebook will be able to replace message boards completely, I just think people are using less of them. The bigger boards will stick around cause they provide valuable knowledge of specialized hobbies/equipment/whatever. The small boards like us will fade though.

Yeah I was on all the email chains...and that's how I caught wind of all the forums in '99

I had most of my "friends" emails from forums and have them on FB....but dang.....it was as if the moment FB went public trading, 90% of my FB friends just up and stopped posting to FB all together.

Just kinda weird.

My small local forum folded. The OTHER local forum is somewhat surviving. And like Trip said..the big focused forums will remain for information purposes (I never do anything but lurk on the powerstroke and BMW forums, but DAMN are they a wealth of knowledge in OLD posts)

I just miss all the conversations and thought provoking debates from different points of views :-(

Dear Fuckface,

You haven't been to the best site in the fucking world in awhile, you fucking cunt. I can't imagine what you've been doing, but given the fact that the most common referral site from your IP was meatspin, we have some ideas. I guess you're too busy sucking off bags of dicks and masturbating to images from lemonparty.org to come talk bikes and shit. Oh well, truth is this is an automated email and we could give a fuck about you ever coming back.

Die in a fire,

I think its more that when you only have a limited amount of time to surf the internet you have to make a choice and maybe more people are/were choosing Facebook.
