    We probably won't be "posting" any more. Maybe "neuro-uploading" or something equally weird though.....

    10 or 20 years? F*ck me. The internet (as we know it) has barely been alive ten years. Mobile phones as a widespread device have only been known 8 years (at most). I couldn't tell you what the Internet will look like in 3 years, let alone 10.

    Well what are the trends like? Is the amount of new users registering to boards each day rising or falling?
    One things for sure, with the amount of "New" forums going up weekly on boards for every little demand for one boards will be PACKED with forums.
    Also, it depends on the management. At the mo, the guys who run this do keep everyone in check and everything under control in fairness. The stability of boards will depend on abilities of these mods to maintain the site which will be difficult as more people join.

    Listing recent posts in your subscribed forums might, just MIGHT be fixed....

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I bet the servers, even with their 42Tbgz processors, will still be just as slow as they are today...

    boards will have been shut down because of the lawsuits arising from amp using his invention that allows him to stab people through the internet.
