Even though this isn't the subject of this thread...
I don't think the board is dying as such, but it seems that way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be a lot more sub-forums these days. The decentralised set up means posts are spread out more. Certain forums attract more attention than others. For example, say 4 years ago in the general forum Thugz Mansion everyone would be posting random stuff, stuff about cars, stuff about sports, stuff about anything. Now in Our Block because there are sub-forums dedicated to sub topics, there may be the same number of posts per day, it's just that they're spread over a bigger "area".
