Forum communities lately…

Is it just me or have forums really taken a hit over the past 5ish years? I feel the activity here and pretty much everywhere else(I occasionally check up on a few critter related forums) has dropped off a lot. My guess is social media/reddit? It’s a shame because I feel the quality of information in these forums is so valuable. Not even that we always have it right, no one does, but it’s a great platform to have discussions and try to come to conclusions on things. It also forms a nice community where we can help each other troubleshooting issues and such… It’s just a bummer because I hate social media and don’t belong to any of it, this is it for me.

The Chameleon Forums has slowed down the last couple years. However the group that is here now is "Trucking Along". The main thing I have noticed is posts are only about mostly three species Trioceros jacksonii ssp., Chamaeleo calypatratus and Furcifer pardalis the standard 3 captive chameleon species. Calumma parsonii ssp only make occasional appearances on this group now days. I think the "Woww" factor of the seldom seen other chameleon species that was an occasional occurrence is almost gone now. I think other chameleon species post of other species would contribute to Chameleon Forums activity and posting.

You’re not wrong, but I do think it’s just a forum issue in general now. Unfortunately, I think it’s not getting better anytime soon either. It seems to just be the times… I would love to hear if people think there’s any ways to bring life back to forums though.

I think todays times at the Chameleon Forums are slow times. There is not much going on during normal times these days. I dare say normal times at the Chameleon Forums are becoming mundane. I could go for me or another keeper posting about a breeding project. The last breeding project posted was posted about six months ago about the KCK and Kinyongia tavetana, other breeding programs of rarer species from the genera of Trioceros, Calumma and Furcifer would accomplish this too.

There was some talk about this, however I think reading about a captive breeding program for Furcifer angeli or Furcifer antimena would be great to hear someone follow through with.

I have considered posting about my greenhouse although there is only plants thriving inside right now.
