Message boards in general have been declining for a long time. Mid to late 2000s was probably the peak. These days young people would rather spend their online time on TikTok and Snapchat. Old people would rather spend their time on YouTube and Facebook. And for the people who do want message boards, reddit has every kind of message board imaginable in one place.

And who are you, my little friend? Not a spoon... not a fork... but something in between. A fpoon. What will you think of next, Germany?

Me neither but it's good enough for most people and has better variety than here.

The site as a whole? No

The boards? Might as well be, even CE is the equivalent of a bed ridden assisted living patient these days.

Most of the special interest boards are essentially dead or dying. Even the big game boards are much slower than they where even just a few years ago, and they usually die fairly quickly after a big games release.

Very few if anyone under 18 is signing up for this site anymore. Let alone posting on the boards to talk to salty boomers like us

Yea I dont see a younger generation stepping in to keep this place going. Even if us old fucks stick around, would that really be worth it for the owners to keep the lights on? Ad revenue must be abysmal for registered users. All of us have ad blockers. And we eat up most of their hosting costs with our constant shit posting. I can see them keeping this place going without the forums tho.

Google something like "tears of the kingdom walkthrough", "baldurs gate 3 walkthrough", "elden ring walkthrough", etc. This site is nowhere near the top of the results. It isn't really that discoverable in many cases, so new people aren't likely to find it.
