I wouldnt mind the forum being closed, but it seems like eventually, the forum dies...happened to both SPS and here years back. Either way, if threads continue to get deleted by a psychics request, its no longer a useful forum anyway.

I agree, but i don't understand why the forum became "dead" when it was closed. I would rather it was closed and people have to log in to view, even if its just to lurk. I used to run a forum many years ago, and it was closed but it was very active. I think the concepts may be dying down because most people are now on fb and using groups. I can come on here once a week and barely miss a thing. Which is disappointing, i was hoping this would be more active.

I think closed forums die because they are cut off in Google searches, so very few new people find the site. With a forum, you always need a bit of fresh blood coming in every month to offer differing views or content. But yeah, people are on Telegram, Facebook groups, reddit etc etc. If the admin was more active, hired some moderators, and maybe did a bit of advertising...I think this forum could grow and maybe become a bit more useful if he closed access to it.

Or the middle ground could be that there are some sections that are public and others that are closed. this is seen on many message boards. that way they come up in google searches, but also have sections closed. Many forums do this, and then they can have it saying for access to full forum become a member.
I agree we do need mods. I find it unusually that we don't have any.

Can I ask what prompted this thread? Did a lurker upset everyone on another thread?

does it matter though? if a psychic wanted to read, they could create a fake name and just red anyways?
