Yeah, the web was so much more passionate back in the 90s - 2010ish before forums became largely obsolete. Forums meant people had proper, well-substantiated discussions. Now it's reduced to some short comments, emojis and gifs. I was active on this forum and Queer Youth Network before but both have declined drastically. Everyone has moved on to Facebook, which is problematic for people like me who don't have (and refuse to get) FB accounts.
I didn't know the background story with the UK core members drifting away. I only figured something was up when I saw that the first aid forum had been archived.
Maybe you're right that RYL is preservable like this with few posts per day, but surely new administrators would take over if it returned to its former glory?
