The goodbye that didn't come: A year later, the forum remains open
Almost a year ago, one thread author announced that the forum wouldn't make it to November: his announcement network, he said, crashes anyone who enters without blockers.
The deadline passed. The forum is still up, and a year later, the author himself questioned if that declaration was still valid.
How much does it cost to sustain a website that lives off advertising?
The diagnosis came from the message author himself: those who enter without an ad blocker or a browser that filters them sustain, they see their home network become saturated. It is his statement, not a proven fact.
Why hasn't the underlying malaise gone away?
A year later, another user responded that the circumstances had not changed: "what truly hurts is the pocket, and that hasn't improved, it has worsened," he maintained. The same participant added that people pass on but the reasons don't, and those who leave with a fuss always return through the back door, or they start another venture.
With this logic—that of one participant, not a proven fact—the farewell was not an end but a pause. If the pattern repeats, it is likely that those who left will reappear when least expected; what is unclear is whether the financial situation has changed by then.
