BBS site is slowly dying, used to be the best place for info but all the 'rules' and bans are cathing up with it now as not many people bother and look elsewhere instead

"all the bans" ? really? I dont personally know anyone who is banned currently and thats not something I have been able to say for years ! as for rules which one/ones upset you particulary?
I would suggest your post count over the last 10 years may have more to play with the site slowing down than any rules, let alone bans if you and folk like you can't be bothered to post then of course the site will fade, you can't rely on Muskett to carry all the posting on his back !
although he is doing pretty well

as you have noted my post count is low and has been for a few years because of the usual back lash you usually get when you say something that someone else doesn't agree with or may be seen to be wrong from the outside world, how many members that were banned are now back on? and actively contributing? not many I bet if any, plenty of people posting on the other sites out there so why not the BBS anymore? coincidence? NV section has died, reloading section has died, about the only thing with any input (that I use) is the sales section, that just my opinion which I used to be entitled too

I think you have a valid point, the world has changed, people use facebook more as well as other social media,this type of forum is no longer the only game in town and judging from the crap spouted on some of the facebook pages I have seen this is not an entirely good thing, however it is the way it is.
as to the bans, a lot of people were often banned for being abusive or disruptive, its probably not a bad thing for those people to be elsewhere, a lot of very knowledgeable people got banned over the years because they couldn't stay the polite side of an argument and had to step over the line, a lot of them went on to be banned from other forums !
I can't say I have seen many people banned in the recent past so not entirely sure what your beef is? it does seem strange that this is about the only non-sales thread you have commented on in a while ? it seems a bit strange to comment negatively on the decline of a forum that you take from, and at least recently don't contribute to? unless you consider your sales threads to be of intrinsic value to the forum as a whole ?

Nothing is as good as it used to be, it's one of the joys of getting older!!!!!!

or maybe they dont and cannot post due to lack of digits

Well in reloading specifically, once you've had the initial discussion & sorted a load or two, there's not much else to post until you get another cal & need to discuss that, once there's a thread about a cal info is simple to find.

Another calibre, or 2 or 3, or 4 or 5, plus a couple of wildcats and an LBR . . . .

Plus you can give advice to those starting out, whether that's reloading generally or with a new calibre you've already loaded for.
