Let's be real Liz, Josh isn't going to explain anything to me because why should/would he? I'm not asking for an explanation, I'm telling it how it is.

Well that's pretty BS because a picture speaks a thousand words and I think most would agree that many posts are pretty worthless now without the pics to go with them. Not everyone can or wants to read a wall of text to understand something.

Have you seen the ads here? Just because you don't pay money doesn't mean it's free.

I agree that this site does contain a lot of good knowledge, but facebook groups are doing to forums what forums did to libraries.

Want to see if post/thread count is waning? Liz, ask Josh to run this query and let's find out It will report your thread counts and post counts grouped by month since the forum was created.

SELECT p.period, p.posts, t.threads
FROM
    (SELECT 
        FROM_UNIXTIME(dateline, '%Y %M') AS period, 
        FROM_UNIXTIME(dateline, '%Y%m') AS order_by,
        COUNT(*) AS posts
    FROM post
    GROUP BY period) AS p
LEFT JOIN
    (SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(dateline, '%Y %M') AS period, COUNT(*) AS threads
    FROM thread
    GROUP BY period) AS t
    ON p.period = t.period
ORDER BY p.order_by
