Disappearing/Deserted Forums

I went to log in last week on an S1000rr forum and it was down, for days and days. I thought it might have collapsed because there are not many people there now. I joined another but it's quiet as a lamb too. Odd how people's habits change, is it all going on faceplant now? I don't run that octopus on my phone or even web based, I have no wish to be apart of the data collation side of it, to give some Billionaire my private phone number to spread around affiliated marketing companies. I never get spam on my phone, never have. If a pizza company asks my number I give them a fake, change the last digit. Same with any big corporate entity. Little business, doctors etc, sure, but no faceless conglomerates.
 
I noticed that also. So many sites have dried up because members have lost interest or the site was sold to a company and lost its appeal. That is one thing about here. The way Captain set up the site and refused to sell it has really given it the staying power that it has. To run this long, still pick up new members on a regular basis and maintain the original format says a lot about him and the membership. This place has been my second home for 23 years even though I haven't had a Busa since my wreck in 2005.

Thank you Doug and every member for keeping this site alive and running strong.
