What's causing the decline?

One can only hope One Piece too will be gone by the end of the decade, but alas Oda's pace is what it is.

@shastar-sei post wano syndrome. The forum was at it's peak then, because of rampant agenda, ZKK and enthusiasm for the future. But then Nika came along and screwed everything up, ZKK did not happen, and many agendas died when the arc was over. People lost interest and left.
Mr. Reloaded
Nowadays it's the same 30 people every week in the spoiler thread arguing over drivel that happened 100+ chapters ago, and almost never about the chapter unless there's agenda. It's tragic.

@moreha9685 People grew up (like myself) and discords + reddit are more used now vs forums.

what a sad phenomenon

Fanverse/Naruto forums is still chugging along a decade+ after its series ended, tho

From my experience, forums are the best setting for discussion. OP Twitter and Discord are very active, but they're also much more toxic. Reddit is an echo chamber. The one thing this place still had going for it was Redon posting here first, but that became irrelevant once Pew started instantly tweeting the summaries.

@shastar-sei, outside of agenda piece for Zoro or the admirals, this place is completely kept afloat by spoilers.

Depends on Bogard if he pulls the plug the site will end . I know him from very older forum Narutobase , OJ etc I don’t think he will shut it down any time even if one person is still active .

Nah JJK kept the forum alive.

@ElderOnitar To be fair I can't imagine that Fanverse is nearly as active as it was when Naruto was still being published weekly, though.
