Just a little note of gratitude to everyone who helped make Formiculture possible! This is one of the few places I can talk about ants, which is something I truly enjoy doing. Quite a few  people seem to have a good deal of knowledge regarding ants, and I'm happy to report that in the few days I've been active here so far, I've already learnt a lot more than I knew before.

You’re very welcome. We need more folks like you to help build the forum back up.

The forum Era i think will be entirely gone soon. Communities of hundreds of thousands I was part of have died out. Formiculture has been strong due to a few loyal members but things and people change. I think at the current pace in a few years it will be dead. The course and communication of the hobby will and should change.

Then how do you suggest people communicate about ants? If you are suggesting Discord, I do not think that is the way. I recently left a Discord server because it was so unorganized.

Not discord. Something else. I think it could be created but at the sane time the hobby is so small it creates a small budget.

Well, I am also very happy I found this place.

I am not really a Discord person and although I am in an ant group on Facebook and Reddit, this is a wonderful place-

I agree, it is organized, you can search for stuff, and the display of information is much less random as if you would search, let's say, Reddit.

Thank you guys for keeping this alive.

Hope it will survive for a while longer, especially for old forum dinosaurs like me.
