I love these boards for all the reasons you listed, Son of Mxy.
And all of you posting are right on the obstacle to growing RKMB again is the inability for new users to register. If we had just 10 or 20 new active members, these boards would be thriving again. And that new blood would have a lot of old members posting here again. I hate Facebook and Twitter. These boards allow for the best discussion of issues, and continuity of discussion. Beyond the foodfights, there are a lot of discussions here that have gone on for years, that fully explore serious issues, and fun issues like comics and popular culture. Or just clever wordplay and joking around.
Yes, we're all older and more busy now. But I think if there were more discussion here, we'd all find time to be a part of it. And with 20 or more new members, even if we weren't able to make it here, there'd be others to pick up the slack.
