Forums are becoming a thing of the past. Social media apps have been the popular trend for about the last 12 - 15 years (even though some of these apps are getting stale).

As for this site, once new registrations were cut off and a lot of the female users were ran off the momentum for coli was done as another poster said. The lack of site upgrades for years did it no favors. Also, a lot of posters have gotten older and some topics just aren't interesting like they were maybe 5 - 10 years ago.

It’s funny b/c I got a msg from another site talking about returning to AHH/IC and they are trying to relaunch that forum after being down for like 7 - 8 yrs lol. Ppl have moved on.

Make a new board for what? They closed off registrations a long time ago and alienated hundreds of members. Whatever foundation or momentum this site has is gone.
It doesn't help that a lot of brehs was shytting on other sites (Boxden and ABlackWeb for example), just for those sites to gain more members while this site loses members. I think someone here years ago talked about making an account over at the ABW with the same username here and it got insta banned after creating it. So it's safe to say no one wants us to migrate over, unless you go by a different username or ain't the type of member to cause chaos.

Let's be real forums are an old skool Internet media, at some point forums will slowly fade away

I prefer forums over social media. I can say things here and BGOL, that I can't say on FB, X or IG. I don't fukk with TikTok or any other app from China or Russia.

The site is solely owned and controlled by a black man, Brook. He's the only admin on the entire site.

He just doesn't give a f*ck. The one upgrade the site got was because members contacted Brook directly and damn near had to beg for it. That was like 3-4 years ago.

is there any way to do this again?

If someone steps up and has a server handy, sure.

But I don't personally know anyone on here like that, and if it were to happen someone else would have to spearhead it. That's outside of my realm of expertise.

EDIT:

Maybe I misunderstood you.

When you say "do it again" do you mean contact Brook? No. He no longer responds to his emails and he hasn't answered a PM from me in like 2-3 years.

I have no idea man. I don't know anything about any of that.

Dude made me a Super Mod and forgot to turn on half my mod functions. This ain't some sh*t I know about or am invested in, respectfully.

Brook. :mjlol:

Houston and I have zero power to research what you're saying, and the rest of the mods have even less power than we do.

That's why in the past I said if dude wanted to go ghost and be hands off with the site he could've easily gave us the tools to run this sh*t properly instead of just disappearing with no notice. Dude has not logged in once in 3+ months and even prior to that he had little to no communication with us. It makes no logical sense. He could literally log in for like 20 minutes and give us what we've been asking him for, and then disappear again. As it stands we don't even know if he's alive.

Thank you for all the work you put in and have been putting in. I know what it's like to be on a board that is not updated and the owner is not active. I just hope all you mods and @Brooklynzson are in the best of health and wealth. Sometimes folks go through stuff and it takes damn near all their energy and focus.
Hopefully @Brooklynzson will be able to update the board in the near future.

reddit is alive and well. Unlimited members and unlimited subforums. With anonyminity cause its not linking you to every single person you know. It pains me to say that its> thecoli. But factually with the numbers and unlimited subreddits... It is what it is.

I used to log in here as the first thing in the day. Now if i check the forums. probably nothing classic happening.
