I'm very much in the same boat. I care more about vintage Dungeons & Dragons (rules, miniatures, adventures) than I do computers anymore.

Hahaha. I still... To this day... can't figure out what to do with my dndplayer.com domain name that I've owned for like 20 years now..

Gimme admin rights, let me set up some D&D stuff on it

If you're serious, I'll see about hooking up my spare copy of Xenforo to it next week when I get back. Anyone else "game"?

So to get public opinion on what B00tDisk and I are discussing, are Internet forums (aside from this one) "dead"?

Still thinking about what to do with my dndplayer.com domain. B00t brings up some very valid points about the fact that people are weaning themselves off of forums in general, which has me wondering which direction to take it...

Edit: Sorry, apparently my PC is caching the page, so I don't see all the responses.

Thanks for the replies guys. I realize that asking "are forums dead" here is about like asking an aquarium fish how they like the ocean, but I'm just trying to imagine what could be done.

I *could* just put up a clickbait site and work to hit critical mass, but that's a lot of work. What I'm hoping to do is to find a way to actually have fun with the Internet again...

My real options for dndplayer.com seem to be to put up another forum (Xenforo) or to put up a Social Media site using SocialEngine which would be more akin to Facebook meets (whatever is out there)

(check socialengine.com)

I have spare licenses of each, so it's not a matter of money as much as a matter of direction...

I'm also not really a D&D player (as much as I would truly like to be) so whatever direction I go in, maybe I can find someone who's interested in the admin side but not the hosting/techy stuff.
