Hey everyone,
As I'm sure you've noticed AltHistoria has been very inactive for a very long time. I myself have been particularly inactive, which I have to apologise for - as admin I really should be paying attention to this place and posting more often. Regardless the current state of the forum is very inactive, and I've been considering shutting it down for good for a while now, but I wanted to consult with the active members to see what they want done with this place. One of the other mods suggested that it should be archived - closed to new posts, but available for viewing. I'm not sure how viable it is to try and get this place active again, or whether I'd have the energy to do that or moderate an active forum again.
What do you all think should be done with this place? Should it be shut down? Archived? Or something else?
Please let me know your thoughts below, and I'll make a decision what to do with this place in the next week or so.

Sad to hear, but my suggestion is to archive it, you do not need to remove it, just close it to memberships and posting, thus people can read what has written.

Would agree its been very inactive. Other than occasional comments about computer games and silentrunner's thread on the theological dictatorship in the US I don't think there's much happening. Hence can understand you thinking to closing the site or as Lordorel says archiving it, especially if its costing you money. Its a pity as the more variety the AH world has the better but it does seem like the logical choice.
Whatever you decide thanks for running the site for so long.

Well it only cost money if you have free add active, but i think closing memberships and posting is a good send of for the forum, people will still be able to see it as the forum will be preserved as it was at the moment it became a online archive and read everything that has been posted true the years the forum was active.

If you feel the need, I understand - but it's always good to have a diverse selection of sites to choose from.
But it has been quiet here. I haven't been posting here much myself.

I only came her today by accident - predictive text in my browser - because I had long forgotten this place existed. I'm afraid it appears this site is doomed. Alternate Timelines is booming at the minute and I'd suggest a migration there.

Is there any way for a banned member in Alternate Timelines can repent for whatever he or she said or did and be welcomed back there?

If you absolutely have to shut down this forum, I would agree with someone else above in this thread that it's best to archive this forum than to eliminate it completely so that all of the work on this forum doesn't just disappear. Indeed, that would certainly be an extremely huge shame.

And Krall have you already decided what you are going to do with the forum.
