Anyone else find it depressing to look down old topics and see all the now dead forums?

We don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff but I have always acknowledged you do a great job of the forums you take on, visually and content-wise.

 

I probably regret closing the majority of my forums. Not all of them as some were there just for the learning of the software ect... the ones that got above a couple of thousand posts shouldn't of closed. But I was uneducated to be truthful and even though I tried to get rid of that 'there must be hundreds of posts a day' attitude, I always felt like I wasn't achieving and gave up. I think only in the recent year I have understood just how much time is needed and although there will be a lot of problems, if you can push through that you are on to a winner.

 

The way I look at it is that humanity is not that different from the rest of nature in the sense that only the strong survive. Among some species in nature only a tiny fraction even reach maturity, most die before that. Well, it could be that forums are like that too.
