Let's make some predictions and see if we can come up with/collectively agree on what 667 will look like in years to come. What do you think will happen on the forum in: - The next year
- The next five years?
- The next ten years?
Who will the key members be? Who will lead? Who will still be here? Who will have left? Who will make a comeback? Which sections will be more active and which will die? Will it still look the same? Discuss

I read "will die" out of context and thought wow Bee dark comment to make.
I think Semblance will be our leader sooner than later, and hopefully will bring more young people here. Otherwise, I bet we will all still be around talking about whatever but ASOUE.

Next year: I dunno. Not much real change, perhaps a couple of our oldest members stop posting.
Next 5 years: Semblance stages a coup and becomes admin. ______N comes out and increases Averse content.
Next 10 years: For the thirtieth anniversary, a huge number of old members return, baffled at how long we've lasted. Tragedy officially passes the role of founding admin on to new blood, and 667 lasts for as long as ASOUE keeps being reprinted.

next year: ProBoards shuts down. a few members try to continue the community in a chatroom or some other inadequate platform. it doesn't work out, and the only members who keep in touch are the ones who already interact on other social media. 5 years: Daniel Handler dies of a massive coronary. one of us tries to get in contact with former 667ers to arrange a memorial hangout on whatever app has replaced Zoom. but the only people who show up are the ones you never liked. 10 years: i'm homeless on the streets of London. B. walks past, sees me, then reaches into her louis vuitton handbag and passes me a tenner note. it's worth about 50p in today's money.

Loving bear's predictions, I need them to become a reality. Also I hope Christmas Chief gets tired of being a mother, abandons her child and comes back for good.

Next year: More glorification of troll accounts. Next five years: Our connection to the Averse winding. Much like it is now, but on a greater scale. Next ten years: The Dismal Disbanding. Our place on a free site is questionable. Proboards might be bought one day, and require fees, as is happening with many popular sites. 667 will be gone, but perhaps some bonds will keep members together. Key members will probably be the current staff of moderators, Mr. Bear, and Mr. Craig. To maintain being humble, I'll refrain from assuming future leaders. Most of us who are here now will probably still be here, but less frequently active. Honestly, I think Ms. Glittery will leave. I don't see any older member coming back permanently, but I can see members from the ATWQ-Era coming back every now and then. The boards activity will most likely be similar to the one now. The site will fundamentally look the same, save for banners or rearranging. All of this is nothing but mere guesses and assumptions based on past data. But in all actuality, the future is unpredictable and Mr. Hermedy could take down the site now if he so desired. Wow that was grim

next year: best thread of the year will go to "blood sacrifices: are they really that bad?"
next 5 years: dante comes back to organize a blood sacrifice for daniel handler
next 10 years: everyone involved in the blood sacrifice has been arrested. a few years later they are released because blood sacrifices have become socially acceptable

Is this the end of 667?

No. People leave 667 all the time. I understand this is upsetting, but it won't doom us all.
I am not saying good riddance or whatever, I would much appreciate it if Semblance returned, but this isn't the end of anything.
