| Forum Future. What do you think the future holds for forums? Do you think they will die out, or be holding strong till the end of sliced bread?

| I think forums will continue in popularity for years to come. Now is the time to get into the forums business because I think they will become even bigger as time goes on.

I think forum softwares themselves may change, some in possible worse ways than others, but overall, as long as developers keep everything clean, for the better. | ||||

| I think we haven't even eclipsed the peak of forums. People are now just realizing the potential of them both for information and revenue. The future holds advantages for obtaining information easier for the user side and making money easier for the admin side. | ||||

| I agree with Bama. I think we are just in the beginning. I think it will be at least a few more years before they even "peak" | ||||
