What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

I love how there's suddenly more activity now that someone has mentioned it died.

Because there are people here. Most of the time we just log in, see no new posts, and then move on to doing something else.

This

This x2.

Then there's the fact that I just get lazy and stop checking for like a month+. Though I do always come back

^ I think a combination of that, plus problems with the site itself, are what's killed off MLK. For example, I constantly get logged off for no apparent reason while I'm browsing/posting (it happened again while I was typing this up LOL). The chatbox is so glitchy and dead that most people just use telegram to chat. Also, half of our new members are clearly bots but for some reason they keep getting approved.

It's kind of hard for members to care about this place when the mods and admin clearly don't.

Not to mention there's not much to talk about.

The lion king 1-3 have been discussed to death, Fans of the lion guard gotta wait for season 2 to start and there has been a lack of info on that. The remake wont be coming until july of 2019 and a trailer isn't likely until late 2018.

I can't help but also think that differing opinions on TLG have driven this community apart.

I can still hear the screams.

Agreed with the last few posts, all of those were contributing factors. I also got an error message the other day when trying to post a comment, it said something along the lines of "Your ISP has been involved in spam or isn't doing enough to stop spam", which left me kinda baffled Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I had just increased the PP for one user and decreased for a couple, can see that sorta thing being filtery to decrease spam. Though I only messed with PP for like 3-4 people, which isn't much. Thankfully, a copy-paste of my comment and a refresh of the page allowed me to post it without error. These little errors and bugs are definitely something that needs ironing out.

In other news, just heard that Hillary said she isn't going to run for president again, thank the lord. Fingers crossed the DNC won't royally screw up like that again.

This forum is still, by far, my favorite place to go to discuss politics on the internet. I still don't know why.

It's kind of hard for members to care about this place when the mods and admin clearly don't.

There's pretty much no staff anymore, though, nor a concern to build another. Moderators also have limited power, so it's not like I can do anything by myself. Not that it would be of much use, at the moment. Many people have left and there are no new actual members (I also don't know why bots are approved, I don't control that), so it would be extremely difficult to pick up activity again. Personally, I've seen this situation happen before, in other forums, so I'm not surprised.

Either way, I do visit the forum every now and then, but, as it was said, if I don't see any new posts, I just do something else. Who knows what might happen.

We can hope the TLK remake will bring in new fans, or perhaps even longtime fans who only now found the site. And in 4 or 5 years, the older (like, ages 8 and 9) TLG fans will start growing up and be able to join. So there's certainly a chance MLK will get active again.
