he-man.org closing..
 

another end of an era. but have not been there since the wokeness started.

not surprised the attendance dropped.

I tried to enjoy that forum for a time, but it never sat right with me that they were not allowing people basic things on the forum like avatars in an attempt to get people to pay for them. Avatars, or whatever it was - I don't even remember specifically at this point.

I mean... I get it. They tried to bring in revenue, I get it. But... clearly that's not how you do it. You don't withhold features for revenue - you add value somehow instead. Not a wise business move the way it was done there.

When does this forum close

Take it however you like.

He says it shuts down on 11/14.

What is a real shame is that the chaotic social media format has taken over forum use completely. Honestly, that is very hard to wrap your head around when you look at how those formats treat conversation - a single page and just scroll through the completely random posting, absent of real formatting, organization and ongoing examination of basically anything.

The message board-style forum is a superior format in everyway.

But it is what it is. I think the real issue is that the generations who carried the fandoms for these I.P.'s are aging out or letting it go at a rate that far surpasses any incoming blood from younger generations. Younger generations would rather judge everything than enjoy anything, so it's no surprise that they do not have lifelong fandoms or I.P.'s from growing up that they have dug into.

I wish I could say otherwise, but all of the evidence points to this as opposed to some positive homogenization elsewhere.

The Drome still stands.

For now.

The site has now closed.

RIP

It sucks it was being stupid and stubborn regarding resetting my password to let me in to say my goodbyes along everybody else.

Oh well. To be honest, whenever I returned literally everyone I knew was already gone and those few people I remember aren't remembered either, so I really had no one to say goodbye or no one that would really care or miss me.

I guess it doesn't matter now cause even if I did post, it would be gone now anyways.

I mostly remember the forum because for whatever reason Mexico decided to re-air He-Man cartoons as if they were new (the 80's OG), so I went to the forum to give my thoughts and ask questions. Then I mostly kept track of the new 2002 cartoon and the comics related to them at the time.

Darn, it closed before I could go on one last tour of the place.

Ah well. I'll always remember the blistering arguments I had over there with the Revelation fanbase:lol:

All that's left now is for this place to finally close down. ;)

Probably before you know it. Sadly this forum is less about TMNT and more about complaining about woke culture now. When this board finally closes, they may find that other TMNT communities don't really want to hear that kind of stuff.

That's more the fault of woke culture than anything else. Hard to complain about something that doesn't exist.

Communities are dying in favour of social media. The Internet once (circa 1995–2010) gave us more freedom, but now that disappears and is replaced with surveillance. I am scared of the future.

Further proof that the mainstream ruins everything. With the exception of dial-up, the internet was cooler before social media and corporations ruined it. And before Google bought Youtube and whatnot.
