Agreed, and a big cause of this drop off (as we have also noticed here) has been the rise of Facebook. Maybe we should do a paper on it

*Shudders* I'd almost forgotten that a lot of creepy smileys graduated in 2009...

Interesting article MsMary. U, I think we have ourselves exceeded the usual life-cycle. Including the original EZ Board, this is the 15th year of KW.

It's unbelievable, in a way, that we survived EZ Board.

So that guy's made only 27K posts at Rotten Tomatoes, huh? Pfft.

Av, I think that we are in what I will hazard to call the 3rd stage of the forum life-cycle. There's the Start-up, the Hey-day and the Twilight (don't tell Effy or Frosty!

). I don't know if there is a 4th stage (maybe the Fade-Out

). My best guess isn't that we've exceeded the usual life-cycle, but that we are in the middle of one of the stages, a bit like the person talking about Rotten Tomatoes. There's no doubt that we are having a good run (post, post, post!) and it may be all part of the whole cycle.

Well, by cycle I thought you meant life expectancy. If instead, as you appear to, you meant "stage of development" then I mostly agree. Other options probably include "Revival" or "Plateau," which last I would settle for.

I'd settle for "plateau". "Revival" sounds like too much work.

Posted: **Thu Mar 12, 2015 8:29 pm**

"Plateau" seems appropriate given our namesake.

Posted: **Thu Mar 12, 2015 9:38 pm**

Maybe we should rebrand as 'Kevin's Plateau'!

Kevin's Monadnock, if we want to be geomorphologically precise.

Speaking of revival, I'd run a Pantheon spin-off from the Arc storyline if there were enough people interested.

Hahaha, hey Syl, nice to see you around man.

I'm in if you do.

Too subtle for this crowd!

Good to see you, Syl!

I don't know about it being too subtle. It is a bit SRD-ish.

It's a bit of an in-joke, Sorus. Goes back to a 'Tank thread a while back and I used it in this post when Syl asked us to say nice things about him for his 10th Watch Anniversary

I didn't know you were allowed to have fun in the 'Tank.

You never know unless you try.

Maybe the Watch would be more active if I started threatening more to demod mods who don't post anymore.

All in favor of demodding Creator, say "Aye"!
