And you haven’t thought….’hmm, maybe the drop is due to right wing narratives and “bedwench” shyt already proliferating here’?
Like bnew said, less moderation would lead to this being Elon’s twitter status
Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that is worrying

No I never thought that. We've always had posters who took politics more serious then others on both sides and we used to just duke it out in the forum for that topic.
At some point someone over there got tired of the back and forths and decided to just start banning or limiting posters for their opinions and those refugees came to The Locker Room. They were followed by the people they were arguing with over there and heavier moderation came to more sections of the forum.
There are currently many coli Discord's filled with active posters and banned posters. When this shyt finally go down the tube's, that's gonna be the next pivot and the same thing will happen there with more moderation.
Ultinately the site is about making money so how you gonna ban people when you can't register new posters.

theres a site that inserts a forum page into every imdb page
filmboards.com
A forum for discussing movies, television, and anything else with archived forums from IMDb.www.filmboards.com
Can you screenshot Cooley High?
I remember vividly how the BET segment had a show looking back and the director for Cooley High said the light skin girl had passed.
I believe her cousin or some family member disputed that and posted her recent pic with a daughter that looked just like her.
I also remember a lot of actors posted on that site and were generally very receptive to speaking on the movie/s they worked on.

The 'organic' internet is dead.
In 10 years, you will be mostly interracting with bots, AI and paid shills.
It's over.

Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
How will Reddit generate content for paid-for subreddits?

Reddit is planning to introduce a paywall this year, CEO Steve Huffman said during a videotaped Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Thursday.
Huffman previously showed interest in potentially introducing a new type of subreddit with "exclusive content or private areas" that Reddit users would pay to access.
When asked this week about plans for some Redditors to create "content that only paid members can see," Huffman said:
When asked about "new, key features that you plan to roll out for Reddit in 2025," Huffman responded, in part: “Paid subreddits, yes.”
Reddit's paywall would ostensibly only apply to certain new subreddit types, not any subreddits currently available. In August, Huffman said that even with paywalled content, free Reddit would "continue to exist and grow and thrive."
A critical aspect of any potential plan to make Reddit users pay to access subreddit content is determining how related Reddit users will be compensated. Reddit may have a harder time getting volunteer moderators to wrangle discussions on paid-for subreddits—if it uses volunteer mods at all. Balancing paid and free content would also be necessary to avoid polarizing much of Reddit's current user base.
Reddit has had paid-for premium versions of community features before, like r/Lounge, a subreddit that only people with Reddit Gold, which you have to buy with real money, can access.
Reddit would also need to consider how it might compensate people for user-generated content that people pay to access, as Reddit's business is largely built on free, user-generated content. The Reddit Contributor Program, launched in September 2023, could be a foundation; it lets users "earn money for their qualifying contributions to the Reddit community, including awards and karma, collectible avatars, and developer apps," according to Reddit. Reddit says it pays up to $0.01 per 1 Gold received, depending on how much karma the user has earned over the past year. For someone to pay out, they need at least 1,000 Gold, which is equivalent to $10.
Monetizing Reddit users’ interactions
Huffman also said that Reddit is “laying the foundation” for the ability to monetize commerce within subreddits this year, including when Reddit users buy something from another user via discussion on a subreddit. With Reddit marketplace features, Redditors could potentially make these transactions without leaving Reddit. Some subreddits, like r/Watchexchange, where Redditors “buy, sell or trade watches,” according to the subreddit’s description, are centered on transactions. Huffman said the fact that users are already “transacting on Reddit kind of opens the door” for such monetization.
“Though, that might be a little ways off,” the executive noted.
Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform. The push for ads follows changes to Reddit’s API policy that, in part, led to the closing of most third-party apps used for accessing Reddit. Reddit makes most of its revenue from ads and can only show ads on its native apps and website.
Reddit started testing ads in comments last year, with COO Jen Wong saying during an AMA that such ads are in “about 3 percent of inventory.” The executive hinted at that percentage growing. Wong also shared hopes that contextual advertising, or ads being shown based on the content surrounding them, will be a “bigger part of” Reddit’s business by 2026.
Reddit’s AMA was in relation to its Q4 2024 earnings results announced on Wednesday. The company reported a net income of $71 million for the quarter ending December 31 and a net loss of $484.3 million for 2024. The company notably missed its global daily active uniques target (101.7 million for the quarter versus 103. million), which it attributed to Google changing its search algorithm.
Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.

Twitter is headed that way, over half of the user base there are AI/bots/trolls/paid propaganda shills/agents. The real humans already left or are leaving it in droves.

Internet aka communication will never die. I thought once Napster, Kazaa, etc. folded it was over … never
there will ALWAYS be those engineers who can reverse anything to make the info available; it’s the greedy maggots who ruin it
