Beyond the lack of people you mean?
I could be wrong, but I doubt that the site still not using secure http helps much.
Be as you wish to seem
We are facing a number of issues that have been ongoing since the beginning of last year. Firstly the software for running this forum is seriously outdated. The current Admin staff only have limited access to update certain functions, and while the current Owner is somewhat distracted with other issues, we will continue to be plagued by external forces generally coming out of either Russia or Eastern Europe.
Remember To Do the Following....
Use [Code].... [/Code] tags when posting code to the thread.
Mark your thread as Solved if satisfied by using the Thread Tools options.
If posting the same issue to another forum please show the link
To be fair, I think most sites have seen a drop off in traffic as more and more people use AI tools instead of actual brains...

I have used AI a lot recently. I started a project to see if I could set up the forum and edit the JS, CSS, BBCode to make it look nice. It does a great job (not perfect but still great). I have learned a lot about JS code and the relationship between the CSS files and the HTML files that drive the forum. I used PHPBB as the main structure of the forum but I have created all of my own custom BBCode along with CSS files and custom languages to render VBA and formula tags in a pretty way. I don't have any real members but it is a very fun project. I learned that it is relatively easy to get it running with an SSL certificate and therefore use HTTPS and not HTTP.
I also used it to create a 'Like' system by editing existing forum add-ins, making sure the like show up in the members area. Did the same with a 'Best answer' add-in so the TS selects a best answer and that will always show just under the original question. Doing this taught me a lot about the relationship with SQL and the rest of the forum files. The idea behind these add-ins would be to make helping people slightly competitive for 'status' if you like.
