In rememberance of Avatar Forums

I think the lack of posts on this new AF says everything. The people who were still regularly posting on AF have checked it out and for several reasons have not bothered to contribute to the new forum.

Reasons I have heard, the style, it seems to be AF in name only. Plus none of the old content is currently on the site. Even if the old content comes back it's still an awful place. Blogs filled with months and years old content pushed off as new, and the most basic looking of forums.

AF has constantly been shut down over the years, this last time with no warning, and people have been rubbed the wrong way by that constantly happening.

Many people donated a lot of money over time and weren't treated with kindness in return. The attitude was that it was on us to pay the bills. When the site is ran like an investment instead of like a fan forum then its going to suffer. No one is going to donate to keep the site going knowing the sites constantly for sale and as soon as a buyer is found it will be sold.

If the site went back to something similar to how it was I think some users would come back, apart from that I think it is what it is, dead. Which is sad, it was my home on the web and favorite place to be. But none of us own it so whatever he wants to do with it is what he's going to do.
