Well this forum is dead. I suppose I missed out on forums. I used the Internet at cyber cafes a few times circa 99/00 before forums became fashionable then didn't use the Internet properly again until 2013 when I had a laptop for a brief period and then again from 2017 to the present with a device.

It looks like the heyday of Internet forums was in the mid 00s when I wouldn't have been able to use the Internet. I wonder if this forum existed back then?

The Internet was only ever exciting in the 90s.

It used to be fairly active, we've been experiencing a slowdown recently (and we've been busy with other things to focus on the forum).

That's a shame. I was hoping to meet some young vegans maybe transgender ones as well. Perhaps the younger generation have abandoned forums. Veganism is a trend that most young women will desert when something else becomes the next fashionable thing. I can't see many young women sticking with it unless it had media coverage and you rarely hear about veganism and animal rights these days.

Most people just kind of go along with whatever cause is current, whether it'd be BLM, Ukraine, or even Kony 2012 if you wanna go that far back, it isn't just women.
And people who go vegan, regardless of gender, more often than not go back to eating meat.
