ESPN just closed it's comment section, and a reality tv board changed it's whole interface and no longer has a dicussion forum. I'm wondering if this board is in danger from something similar happening?
Yes, it's already begun.

Do they allow those type of ads? I'm not into reddit so I have now idea what the allow or don't allow.
Not sure, man. Would have to maybe dig through here, maybe: Advertising

When I was talking about "critical mass" earlier, it seems like Reddit is the go-to for millenials now, for the forum experience. When the gamecock board I normally post on got closed for 2 weeks due to a bitcoin mining hack (lol), hit the r/ one and definitely a younger crowd. The only other one I read regularly is r/motorcycles, and it's majority younger people (though there's a mix).

Recently, I have seen a change in the forum/facebook world. Since Facebook had the identity issue that went in front the Supreme Court, I have seen a jump in traffic to most of my forums and including this one. There might be a change and it could be a temp change, but its nice to see the change happening.

Also, this forum will never close down as long as I own it, which could be forever.. ;)
