The Internet forum, that great old standby of Web 1.0., has become an endangered species.Many boards are stagnant or in decline, if they even still exist. Several once-thriving boards have closed up shop. These are serious signs of the digital times. Message boards were key components of Web 1.0 — the Web before broadband, online video, social networking.They were built for people, and without much regard to profit. By contrast, the Web 2.0 Gorillas like Facebook and YouTube are driven by metrics and supported by ads and data mining. Now FB is experiencing some shifts in participation and scrambling to stay current.Everything has a life cycle and I am confident the clubs site will once again become relative and the site will get more interaction. Our goal is to have events each month and that may help drive participation. We're also asking for input on how to make the new site more friendly.
