who thinks this site will be available as free as it is now in 10 years?

I'm just getting back into shooting and as such I've started lurking these forums again. Compared to the amount of discourse and data being shared 5+ years ago, these forums seem to be dead. I'm not sure if I missed something big that happened online or if they've found a way to kill these communities through a combination of algorithmic manipulation, bots, and implanted trolls.

Good to hear from you Cory. I don't have an answer, but the same thing has happened on a couple of motorcycle forums I belong to. It's not the same as it was over the last 20 years.
