Unless it it HS Football season, then our traffic during the spring and summer for the past two years is on the DECLINE! Message boards have always been a fad. This is a tremendous site for what it offers. BUT, just like all technology, the consumer dictates the importance. Times change the technology; the Consumers interest changes their use of the technology; Peak for Message Boarding is OVER!
It's not unique to BGR. MySpace - DEAD & GONE! Facebook - Taken over by older people! Twitter - Onfire. I know many BGP members and they talk all the time about how it has declined so much that there is talk of making it free 100% of the time!
So yes, messages boards have peaked in interest. We will only see if get worse versus improve. Last year's HS Football playoffs was the peak for our site. I'm predicting now that we won't see those numbers ever again.
I like Granny have become attached to many. But just like family, we will all grow apart, meaning our lives will take us all in new directions and the amount of time that we get to interact with each other will lessen just like it does as families get older.
I knew whenever my parents created their own FB account, without any help from me, FB had "jumped the shark".
