It wasn't long ago when this forum had hundreds of people online at any one time. Other specialist forums, pc and other stuff too, all seem the same with only a few online.

Has the scrolling mentality of people using facebook, twitter, reddit etc and other newsfeed type apps resulted in forums being customer service portals for shops and no longer the community based and information based place to hang out?
 
I don’t think it’s a surprise but the average age of the account replying to this thread is around 15 years I’d guess.

what was the peak of users online at any time? I’m sure I recall tens of thousands.
