Never was a good idea in the first place. Just an ego trip of one individual ruined a completely good, active forum. This one. I am not saying it now the horse has bolted, I spoke out against it 5 years ago.
A message went up on the board at New Years that the moderators were closing it on Jan 3 and to save any info/threads before then. I think it was just the cost of running a board plus effort vs reward.
And stick a kitten in the airlock for good measure.There are plenty forum member still giving advice WEAL. Do you see many questions go unanswered on here?
There are new members but I think they find most of what they need to know is already covered on here and elsewhere these days. I would bet most new brewers find all they need to know without joining.
Years ago there was a lot more to discuss amongst members, like building your own brewery or keezer etc. These days all you need to do is decide whether you buy everything from KK or KL. Then just make sure you ferment under pressure and never ever allow oxygen near your brew from fermenter to keg.

No, but it will assist with laminar flow from beer taps.Will kittens prevent botulism if I no chill?
Sounds good. What sort of warranty do they have?Excellent.
Bulk buy then?
I could use a new clock too.
They come with a standard warranty of 9 lives. I'm not sure if additional coverage is available.Sounds good. What sort of warranty do they have?

That's a worry, so nothing has been learned?Another forum, ***, has closed. AHB continues as usual.
Admins home server, for gaming…Quick question, why would you need money for a "server upgrade" when you have a declining membership?

Well, I asked more than once the reason for a breakaway forum and never got a satisfactory answer. The way I see it is Brad thought he could make a better forum, but never got a reply that made any sense! Australian Craft Brewers had been formed well before the mass migration! Did he think he was going to make money from the forum? Or was it just purely an ego trip?That is pretty funny:

Online forums are competing with other forms of media, namely YouTube and Facebook it seems. forums used to be the leader in online knowledge sharing, and took over - in part - other forms of media (i.e. newspapers and magazines). I don't like it because I'm old and cantankerous now and live in the past, but you can't beat good old-fashioned face-to-face meetups which is still a huge benefit of these forums. COVID-19 seemed to beat the social element out of us so now we're stuck with old friends like a schoolyard who catch up and wonder "why isn't anyone else here?".
I'm quite bummed the old forum shut down. It was a financial decision but also the participation was falling off. Admin's comments are very welcome above, but I doubt many (if any) will return because there are reasons they left and have different principles to me.
