Time to stop?

Postby Haggis » Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:57 pm

Everyone, it's with mild pain in my heart that I'm asking this question, but you've probably seen it coming. Back in the day (and I'm talking roughly ten years ago), this forum was positively brimming with activity. We were in the middle of the Golden Age of LucasArts Adventures (yes, I just made that up), and there was lots to discuss. Over the years, familiar names came and went, but we always had a pretty good group of people. Lately though, things have gone awfully quiet. I've tried keeping things interesting with the Forum Games section, which was a success at first, but, let's face it, there just isn't anything to discuss for Monkey Island fans these days.

So, my question to you is: do we keep the forums open, or put them on hiatus? The reason I'm asking is because I don't mind putting time into maintaining these forums if I were to support an active community, but the way things are going now, that's just not the case. If I were to put the forums on hiatus, I would naturally open them up again if there is ever a new Monkey Island game. Also, I'll make sure the content at least would be available to read.

So, what do you think? Keep it open, or close it down?

I'm not sure, there are never any new discussions anymore, it's worse than it was when we hadn't had a game for 10 years. The forum games never interested me, so I guess, I don't mind too much if it's put on hiatus for a while.

I think the fact that I'm the only one who's replied says it all really, this board is now pretty much dead. :(

Indeed... I'm going to pull the plug on the forums in the coming days, once I've made a snapshot of it in its current state, so people can still browse the content. We've had a great run, but... sometimes you just have to let go. Thanks, everyone.
