Goodbye, Forums.

The site forums have been through a lot over the years; they had been reset, taken down, and re-built several times since June 2003. Today, after a very extended period of non-use by the 2214 community, I've decided to fully archive them and remove them from the live site.

The Internet has changed quite a bit and the traffic on Nitrocosm.com has, too. Forum use was very infrequent, to say the least; most of the regulars have long since stopped posting in them. It seemed, at times, that people would simply post anything just to see if anyone was still around to respond.

After some discussion with several of the old regulars, it was agreed that the forums were probably not going to be useful and I opted to try something new - social networking tools.

Right... I mentioned not too long about how I didn't particularly care for social networking. Google's Friend Connect sounds like something worth trying again. It was briefly integrated with this site as an experiment but I removed it due to the uncertainty of exactly how to integrate it. I may attempt it again soon.

If anyone wants a copy of the old forums, e-mail me. I have the entire forum system backed up and archived.
