NigelFargate   10 #85 Posted October 3, 2017 Sheffield Forum has, to a very significant extent, been overtaken by new social media technologies, particularly by Facebook and Twitter. There will always be a place for the Forum, but its heyday is long since past. Its heyday was probably between the years of 2003 and 2011, before many of the best posters disappeared, to resurface on Facebook.

I get to "discuss" topics with people I don't agree with on here. Its a much more realistic view of the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Agent Orange   11 #87 Posted October 4, 2017 Talking from experience, especially as a poster from the early years of this forum, I believe most people were drawn away by facebook. I know I was. Most of the online friendships I made here on the forum continued via facebook and the more that developed the less I came on here.
