I've been here long enough to remember when members were arguing about Bitcoin.

"It's a scam!"
"It's the future!"
"It's gonna be worth a fortune!"
"You're an idiot !"

laugh out loudlaugh out loudlaugh out loud

Needless to say, I did not heed the advice of a "smarter than me" SD'er and invest in Bitcoin, and I've been kicking myself ever since. Crying2

What happened to this forum? I just took a look and there's only about 8 threads now. Years ago there were a lot more. Was there some overhaul that happened?

Forums in general have lost a lot of traffic in the past decade.

Eh, makes sense. Probably just easier for folks to have reached out to others and migrate to Discord or whatnot

Let's keep them guessing.

Decades from now they will gaze upon this forum in glorious amazement - and understandable confusion - and ask, "What the fark happened here?" Let them wonder about us and what kind of beings we were.

I just wish they would have trained some of the Large Language Models on The Lounge. Can you imagine how they would process Celery?

Incredibly sad. There were some fantastic online communities in the 90s and 2000s.

while it's true that activity is way down (most of) the old threads are still here...default view only shows threads from the last month....if you click "filtering options" on the top left of the list of threads you can change it (and also save your changes as default if desired).
