I post (Not as much) on three different ones) and all three are slow?
Do you think message boards are dying.?

I like this aspect about Yappi. It's kind of neat to have been chatting with the same posters for 15 years.Long story short, message boards will always have a place for those looking for a community. Social media gives you the illusion of having a powerful voice when it is likely very few ever see anything you post.
Covid stopping games/seasons has had an impact on this site. Can't wait for Fall 2021 for football season. It will hopefully be a return to normal and we can put Covid in the rearview mirror.
As to message boards in general, social media has replaced most websites including message boards...for the worse in my opinion. No one builds websites anymore. They go on social media and work hard so Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg can add a couple more zeros to their net wealth.
One thing I found interesting lately is people on here asking about posters that are MIA. On social media, no one cares. People are just a speck of sand on a giant beach. Here today and gone tomorrow. No one will miss you.

No stats but it's definitely older. Early on, we had alot of HS kids registering on here. Nowadays, there are very few. And usually when we get a bunch at once, it's not a good thing. Seems that some HS kids from the same school decide they want to have a little fun at the expense of a teammate and overwhelm a thread for a little while.From talking to some younger people, I would say, yes.
They have no idea what I’m taking about when I say I’m on a message board.
They will most likely die with my generation.
Yappi, are there any stats on the average age of users here? Or the age of people who are joining?

Serious question. What is your definition of "back in the day". At my age I feel as if it is the 50s. Is it an "X" number of years ago? What say you.
I'd say 12 or so years ago was when coaches started monitoring. Maybe a bit before that.Serious question. What is your definition of "back in the day". At my age I feel as if it is the 50s. Is it an "X" number of years ago? What say you.
in your opinion, when you vomit in your mask around people within 6 feet should you take it off?I'm too busy these days to spend more time on here. During the past summer and into the fall and winter, I stayed away as much as I could because I got tired of seeing every thread devolve into a peeing contest regarding COVID.
There are mods on here that keep that from happening. I highly doubt Yappi wants to become the place where people come because they were kicked off other platforms because of their outlandish and unsupported theories. And that goes for both sides.I think yappi and others may grow due to banning free speech on twitter ect...if he can keep it open it may become a refuge of the 1st amendment.
They are trying hard to heard us into a echo chamber.
