What do you think Acmlm's Board will look like fifteen years from now, in the year 2020?

Will a lot of us still be posting, or will it be a completely new set of members making most of the posts, with the current active users posting maybe once every few weeks, or not at all?

Will the board interface still look similar, or will it be totally different?

Will the board be here at all, or will it have become inactive? And will it still be this incarnation of the board, or will we have restarted a few more times?

How big will the post counts get? Will we have six-digit post counts, and five-digit user ID's?

Feel free to post your opinions on the matter.

- AcmlmBoard 2.0 will probably be out by then.
- I'll probably still be here...
- New admins and mods.

That's all I can think of for the moment.

Nah, they'll probably go all the way up to Acmlmboard 1.Z9 and then use ASCII symbols to avoid reaching 2.0.

If I stay here for 15 more years, chances are I'm either going to be gone, banned, or adminned.

Actually, that would be true for most members who are active today. I can't name many old members that are quite active every day, but dosen't have a staff position. And don't say no about this, I have seen all kind of odd people getting into staff. normal>permabanned>normal>permabanned>normal>staff>permabanned again...

...then i'm a veteran on Acmlm board now.

Someone could have over 100000 posts, but I doubt it somehow. Unless I keep up posting as much as I do now, which I doubt I will do when I start at university.

Hell, sometimes I think that the community could as well die next year. Not like I want that to happen, but there is a possiblity. And if the community even died, groups of people would create their own communities.

There is group of people on this board such as Rom hackers, Furry fans, Anime fans, Computer sawy, Gaming crazy people, Nintendo fans, roleplayers... I could see thoose spreading into other communities if this board was closed down.

Althought this is one of the biggest ROM hacking boards.

And just think on it, in 15 years I probably even have own children... and that's kinda scary when I think on it.

I doubt the board would be worse thought, just diffrent... and there is probably more users around at the same time. I noticed that there is alot more users online on the new Acmlm board in 2005 than it used to have back in 2003. Althought we used to spree more back then.

1.FF is the max version under the new system. We're using Hex for both numbers, and for the integer part as well.

That said, even though it's impossible to predict, I tried anyway, but I can't even decide on a coherent theory myself. There's just too many ways every little detail can change.

Yeah, but you didn't decide on using hex version numbers until you would have called the next version 2.0...so maybe after 1.F, you'll say "Screw this, let's make it base 36. The next version is 1.G."

It will become "Ziffski's Board" due to a brutal overthrowing of the rest of staff and me taking over to become supreme leader.

Meh ... probably.

Oh, and maybe, just maybe, I'll have over 10,000 posts.

And there will be a Hentai forum, I'm sure of it.

Uh. No. We were at 1.93 and still had 1.94 thru 1.99 to go, we just felt that some of the versions added more than some of the versions who jumped 0.2 steps before them and we wanted to make that more clear.

If the board is still hosted, then best bet is that many moved on and maybe some of our kids would be posting here.

Ah, that made me think of an idea. Maybe we could let the board pass through generations.

And make it live forever.

in 2020, if this board is still around, I'd probably still be posting here. I can't really see myself changing my lifestyle down the road since I'm fairly certain I'll be living a single life the rest of my life.

As for other logistics of the board, we'll probably have another DB crash along the way. The board will probably move at least twice more, we'll get 10,000+ people signing up but only 1,000 or less be active...

It's weird thinking about how the Internet will look in the future...I always wonder if message boards will always be populated mostly by people in their teens and twenties, or if people will be living into their 60's and 70's still posting on boards.

I have an incurable addiction to this place, and I have no life outside the Internet, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if I was still here in 2020...

If this board needs a new home, I'd probably shell out the money to do so if no one else was willing to do so. Therefore, in all likelihood, it will be here come 2020

...personally, I wouldn't let them until the teenager years if it was still around. Especially if my earlier posts is still there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the board had restarted again by then, but then... we do take a daily backup nowdays.

Make Kawachan or Kitten Yiffer a mod for that forum.
Knowing the current staff, I doubt it. And if I did have a forum, I wouldn't have a hentai forum or anything like that. Althought I do moderate a catgirl forum on another board...

Could be possible, could be not. Thinking on Acmlm board still existing in year 2500... that's just mind boggling.

(note that some scientists say that we may live long enough in this generation to live in year 2500, if some medical breakthroughs are done. )
