Am I talking to bots, unnamed guests and moderators? Longing for discussions.
Short messages will certainly give me trouble. Just saying I start and can't seem to stop. LOLLong-form text forums just aren't as popular as they once were.
That and this board is coming up on 24 years old... Some of the membership have passed away, many have moved on with their lives, and yes, some have been banned.
Things like TikTok and YT Shorts give a bigger hit than reading does for the younger generations.
