Possible Board Closure Discussion: Please Read and Respond! Update: Board closure on Sept.20th!
Erin and me have been discussing this, and we think that it may be time to close this board. Our post counts have been declining over the past few months and we have very few regular posters. As you know, Fan Forum requires that we average at least 15 posts per day, with lower numbers than that leading to warnings and then possible closure of the board. We would prefer to go out under our own terms rather than be forced to close due to low post counts.
Please let us know what you think. We'd be glad to hear any suggestions or advice to renew interest here. Remember that to keep the board going, we need the commitment of a few regular, dedicated posters. As much as we love this board, please don't just post to "save" the board and then disappear again, because we'll be in the same position that we're in now if you do.
Thanks.

So here we are, actually starting this thread. The possibility of the closure felt inevitable for a long time, but finally making this choice was very hard for me and Erin, it took us a few days to make peace with our decision. We got really attached to this board, as we've been fighting so hard to keep it alive for a year mainly just by ourselves with a very few regular posters dropping in. We met each other here and this board means a lot to us, but no matter how much we love it, there is only so much you can talk about when it's just the two of you. It's incredibly sad to see a board with more than 1 million posts turn into a hangout of just two people. Skins used to be huge, but it ended in 2013 and most fans lost interest in posting here. Now we think that it's time for us to move on as well.
With such low traffic on the board we thought that the most realistic option would be to close it down, but if anyone here is interested in applying, let us know.
