I hope forums will exist as long as the web exists.
Maybe teen,s use app,s on phones to communicate,
typing on a real keyboard in a txt only forum probably looks old fashioned .
I think forums is like a bike, some simple idea,s still exist because they are easy to use and not overly complex.
theres probably kids out there who mostly watch twitch,or youtube or netflix.
Why would i wait to watch a program at 8pm, i can watch so much media on demand through streaming apps,.
And you can use boards ie on any device that can load up a web browser.

I like the lack of ads. I know boards has ads but not like modern sites that make you wait ten seconds before you can look at what you want to see before you can click an x to see it.
Big movie ads, big noisy ads, turned youtube on the other day to see if it had a song my streaming crowd didnt have and had to watch two ads . Boards doesnt even seem to have the permenantly outraged chaps that flame new people until they react and get carded.

Its nice and relaxed now.

The recurring threads does remind me of Groundhog Day.

And there's a few Mrs Doubtfires around...

Your son is a strange concept(ion). Can I just say this to him?
