VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I think it is futile to try to recruit new people. There is too much competition, if you will by more well-known forums. We are more likely to attract trolls and ambulance chasers promising miracle cures if you would just buy what they are selling (not).

I haven't left but I check in less because often there are so few posts. I post less because I have not been in the pit for a long time and don't have anything to vent. If someone needs support, I'd love to give it, but I have the sense that we are all in steady state, more or less.

I still like knowing the board is here. We have a long history. I wonder if we have others from the past who lurk. It wouldn't surprise me.

I think any new person who wanders in will see how inactive the board is and go elsewhere. So if the ads are making more work, make the board private again, or whatever we were before.
