When I joined this site in 2008 it was highly active. It seemed that no sooner than you made a post than someone else would post right behind you. And members were actively posting every second it seemed somewhere on the site.

There were times back in the early days when the site was so busy with members posting that when you tried to send a post, you would get a message that said something to the effect that there were too many postings happening at the current time for the post to go through. There used to be a window like thing at the top of the various rooms here which showed what members were in there. Usually, there were many in each room posting one right after the other. Often times I recall posting a response to someone only to find that by the time I posted it, someone else had come in right before me. In the games area this was particularly evident. The amount of posting traffic is definitely down a lot since then.
Oh, I remember all of that so well. Those were the days! Threads quickly got buried, the place was bustling with posting. There was always something new going on. It sure has slowed down since I joined the forum 11 years ago.
Like others have said, it's the same on all forums, unfortunately. This is one of the few I know of that still has some active members left. I hate saying this, but forums are dying. I just don't understand why. Especially forums like this, which is so well suited to aspie ways of communicating. Social media hold no allure for me, and I know I'm not alone in that, so where are they all?
