Possible Board Closure Discussion: Please Read and Respond!

Jules 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 12 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.


This has been a tough decision. I have been part of this board since it opened and made many friends and lots of memories. There is so much love for this board. Appreciate all the support and members who have been part of this journey.

Thanks.

I know it's hard to keep this board active especially since not everyone is interested in discussing the books. I'd be had to see the board go as it's what truly got me into The Shadowhunter Chronicles to begin with, but I'd understand the decision completely.

Oh man this is really tough This board is such a special place. I have a lot of fond memories of it both as a mod and as a poster. I know you've been with it for quite some time and done an amazing job to keep it going for so long. I would gladly post regularly in a handful of threads again, but ultimately I don't know if that would do much to fix the problem. I'll respect whatever decision is made

I'm sorry to see this thread up, Jules. It's always a hard decision when shows end. I've been in that hot seat. No one knows the board better than you.

Sorry to be seeing this Jules but truthfully its probably time with the show no longer around and books every couple of years the board would need a big boast to consider staying open and that's unlikely to come but all the lucky to you if anyone comes around to try to give the board the boast it needs

Books are honestly coming out yearly. In 2020 there were two released. In 2021 one is being released, possibily two so it's more a case of there not being many people who read them anymore (or what to discuss them) on , not the lack of books, sadly.

I'll remain hopeful that this board still has some life left in it And if not then it was quite the journey!
