Re: CompuServe To Shut Down Their Forums


I joined there some time ago, but things got in the way and I never posted there. So, I'm not going to jump in with suggestions. I'm not sure they'd like that from a total stranger.

Sad day to see more and more forums get shut down.

I will be just sick and lost the day Runboard closes down. I hope it is here the rest of my life.

Re: CompuServe To Shut Down Their Forums


Yeah. I really miss the IMDb boards. I think the hassle with trolls, haters, and spammers takes its toll on the forum/board owners and staff, and is one of the factors in shutting down forums/boards.

Plus, with more and more leaving to hang out on social media, the loss of income doesn't give them incentive to put up with the hassles.

I just haven't found a new 'home' yet. And maybe there won't ever be one. The Xena fandom has scattered off to other sites, and so has the Twilight fandom ... and though I do love Outlander, I just haven't found the right place to hang out at yet. It was nice having one spot where all the fandoms were hanging out at. That was the coolest thing about IMDb ... it had forums for every show/movie/actor/etc. to hang out at.

Oh, well. I should probably be spending less time online anyways. emoticon emoticon

Also Jox...people change, life goes on. All those years ago when I came here looking for a home for Queeny's Obsessions...I never would have believed that my life would change so much as to not want a site, to not have that much OBESSIONS as to dig daily for LOTR goodies. But it did..
Things always change, nothing is stagnate.. emoticon

Yeah. I watch a lot less TV now than I used to. And I guess I'm slowing down online now as well. The 'new' has worn off, and I haven't found a new 'new' to take its place.
