Like Ghostship: you login one afternoon and see open threads that haven't been posted in in years. You post HAY GUIZE and you get ghostly replies that are reposts from the past, but the users posting them are offline and the Last Activities indicated on their profile date back years ago.
Then those replies are starting to flame you; the geeks and trekies demand "Brrraiiiins... MIT educated brrraiiiins". You try to Logout but the button is broken, nothing but a piece of text. You get menacing PM's that disappear from your inbox as soon as you refresh the page, it drives you insane. You are trapped now, you find the old Chii-chan forum and Chii-chan is still working. You hide in her forum, but it won't be long until they'll find you. She tells you how the forum died and that the former users have no interest in her because she's AI; she offers to help.
How do you think the forum died, and what are you going to do about it now?
