Is anyone else surprised that this Forum is still going?
« on: November 26, 2025, 08:33:17 PM »

Let's be honest, it's a ghost town these days.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that it's still going, just in case some of the old crew feel like coming back and chipping in every once in a while.  But another bands Forum, that I was very active on, got scrapped a few weeks back despite having a heck of a lot more traffic than this one does, because the maintenance of it wasn't worth the effort from the bands inner circle.  I assume this place needs much the same effort.  And many other bands scrapped their official Forums years ago, just directing the fans to the usual social media sites (which, personally, I think are dreadful and not conductive to decent and interesting communication between the true fans).

I've been told by a friend who was never active here but is a huge NMA fan that non-members can't see this Forum anymore or join. Is that an indication that this Forum is coming to an end?  It'd be a shame if so but it's understandable.  I often look back on old threads or PMs and remember the friendships, jokes and banter and, occasionally, the fall-outs... all the good stuff that made this Forum so special.  But all good things come to an end.   :-\

Viv (or anyone in the bands inner circle), if you're out there, any clarification, whether it be good or bad?
... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

It's a quiet board - nothing wrong with that.

I do not use any social media platforms so this board is important to me.
