I guess they attract a certain type of member yet dispel another.

Flawed logic and beguiling grammar are my kryptonite. Excuse me for not blindly accepting the universal validity of your reckonings.

Regardless, if forums are truly dying, then let's go out in style! I'll grab the fuzz-guitars, you grab the go go boots!

Amen sista!

did you try googling it?

Too busy watching a movie. I'll give you the honor of googling it yourself.

Twitter Myspace and I'll Google all over your Facebook.

Alright well if you're busy don't let me hold you up. Just know that Google has the answer.

Hey, this is your argument here. It's not my job to find sources for you. And besides, i'm not even in opposition to your sentiments, so you can stop trying to convert me. I just like cracking jokes when people state things as if they're facts, while providing no sources, and then ask other people to check the facts for them.

i googled it for both of you, but you'll each have to forward $5 to my paypal for the sources

I think forums will survive as long as people want them to, or need them. There were a few times this place could have almost gone under, but people rolled up their sleeves, got to work and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wha? Where was I?
:D

Seriously, as long as people want these forums they will make them work. If that wasn't the case this place would have closed down long ago. It's one of the reasons why I came back after my absence. Facebook? Twitter? **** that. I want to be able to converse with people in more than single lines or pictures, and do more than compare what we had for dinner.
