Nah, message boards in general are going the way of the dodo due to other forms of social media. Facebook, Reddit, twitter, instagram, snapchat, kik, etc.
Chiefsplanet is definitely among several message boards that have handled the exodus to other forms of social media well, but the decline in membership and activity is very noticeable. I don't see that turning around.
Message boards peaked in the mid 00's, both in fun and activity. [Reply]

Really? That's nice to hear - i'm glad - I like you better now - even though one time you pissed me off. But that's ok, I was in a mood that day, too. I wish you'd had told me that. [Reply]

I don't think CP is as fun as it used to be. But part of the reason is - just the product and going to the same place for years on end. [Reply]

That's part of the rub. As existing users got bored and move on, there is nobody left to replace them to keep a community going. Before newer social media, old users who abandoned their accounts got replaced by newer users but these days newer users go to reddit, twitter, facebook, kik or etc. [Reply]

I just pick and choose where to have my fun on CP. The football threads are a fucking joke, IMO. [Reply]
