How many?Try to run too many and you can't ever get things done. Cut my list down tremendously and finally made progress on things.

How many?
you have to define what you mean by successful and what you mean by dyingYes, they are. It's few and far between on new startup forums that become successful.
I have a client who sold a 12,000,000+ post board for over a million dollars only a few months ago. Since then - he has proceeded to invest in 2 big boards with millions of posts with 1000s of members producing 1000s of posts per month. He has just purchased another board that has 1,220,000 posts. At any time this forum seems to have 1000+ visitors with 100s of registered users logging in daily, 100s of new users registering on a weekly basis. I'm working on transferring it to his own server and will likely be converting it to Xenforo in the coming days.Are forums dying?

well how many folks google for forums too ? i know i don't. I find forums from their attached web sites and if i like them add site and forums to my bookmarksIt kind of still flat lines forums. But do people really need to Google Facebook?

Well, talking about if forums are dead. See today that AdminCrowd closed down.

Thanks, it is what I wanted to say.We all know that social sites get a lot of traffic because how they are designed. But no forum software is rewriting how forums should work its all the same as 16 years ago.

A rather large social networking study has shown forum participation rates with Internet users has gone up, not down.
You have proof of this?
