No more forum software

[Shawn Gossman1]

If all forum software ceases to continue - what will be your next step?

Will you give up completely?

Will you try to move to a different community platforms such as Circle, Mighty Network, or even Facebook Groups?

What would you next step if forum software was over and no other software was updated anymore.

I've never even heard of Circle or Mighty Network!

I suppose I would go to Facebook Groups even though they annoy me. I prefer to have organization.

I'd create my own - well, that is, I'd pay for someone to create it as I can't code.

I can't say I put too much thought into this as I never seen it as a possibly, but I have actually worried about government regulation cracking down on hobby forums and making laws and regulations that admins need teams to enforce. However, that is a topic for another day.

For this, I'd probably move towards a platform like Discord or such.

I would most likely gather some developers and start a new software.

I want to say many of the "big boards" essentially went that route. They crafted a custom forum software (many after VB 3.8) and did their own thing.

For me... since my primary concern is "putting out data", I'd simply start a blog. I never started my forums with the intent for others to join... it was because they were a platform I was comfortable with, and the fact that others could come over and play was just a benefit.

Where there is a will and need, someone will find a way. The day after all forum software disappears there would be a dozen teams working on replacing them!

I think a lot of people would go to blogging.

I'm already a blogger, and I love to write, so it would be easy for me.

I'd just focus on adding interactive features to the blog.
