I remember coming in here many years ago, where we would talk about all kinds of warfare, wars & battles, meta, and of course a little banter. For a long while now this forum is just completely dead and bereft of content. Cmon people start to post some good stuff again ---

Some went to their various group’s private / internal forums, some went to - eww- reddit, some just don’t post anywhere, some left EvE altogether, and various other reasons. COAD was great at one time, but that time is gone. Don’t think it will come back… ---

I think it’s the forum software. It’s not a fully featured platform by any measure. Corporations talk a LOT on discord and teamspeak. There are still large numbers of intelligent people playing the game and having the conversations you and I would like to read about here. I think they look at the forum software and don’t even consider it at this point because there are better ways to do things and it’s just not worth the tedium. I mean I have to try really hard to get what I need out of this forum. Like, can we even DM on here? I don’t think so, right? Forget searching for something you saw in the middle of a thread because ctrl+f is not a thing since no threads will fully load on any device. They’re clearly saving resources this way but they take it past the point where it breaks functionality. I am still perplexed by the changeover. I understand forums are a complex game, but I am skeptical that the software has become so resource intensive that it can’t - or should not - reasonably load full, text-only threads. Has forum technology gone backward? Until we have a fully featured messageboard again, I am afraid the metagame here is gonna stay pretty sparse. ---
