    Default Sad when a forum 'dies'?

    The very first forum I joined has sadly 'died.' The 2 admins set up a goodbye section in the forum and it is sad reading the posts from other members. The forum had so many members and had been up for years, but people registered, made 1 or 2 posts and never returned. And lots of people from the forum have moved home, gone to Uni/college, jobs and stopped going. I did for awhile cause I had Uni work and barely found the time to visit.

    Its sad because I made so many friends there who I chatted to on MSN and had a laugh with. We helped each other out. It was the first and last place I became a mod too. I enjoyed it because I helped to clean the forum up and ban spammers.

    Has anyone else been apart of a big community online and then it 'dies'? I couldnt think of a better term for it.

    No, EoFF was the very first forum I joined and it's still going strong. EoFF is the most popular Final Fantasy forum on the internet.

    This forum seemed to die a little ever since I joined it.

    Well, I went to this one forum a lot last year. It wasn't big or anything, but it was realy fun, until lala and then we killed it. That was pretty depressing, and disappointing. But it's much better now. ;)

    Not exactly the same thing as dying, I know, but somewhat similar.

    Eh, it could be worse. The existing members could just filter out and be replaced by a bunch of immature jerks, making a mockery of the place and everything it stands for. This has happened plenty of times in the past.

    Before EoFF dies we'll all meet in Feedback and commit e-suicide. We'll then proceed to go outside and enjoy life.

    I will be very disappointed if we don't actually do this. Assuming I'm still around, of course. Which is very unlikely as I will have a life by then and will have better things to do than hang around on the internet all day.

    That's lies and you know it, you can't EVER enjoy life, it's not in your programming.
