Forums come and go all the time. One way or another this forum will die if the dinosaur pivot animations get trampled over by greater pivot animations (damn those demons!) or if the this place becomes very inactive. So what do you think? How long will this forum live?

This forum was more active in October-January, from 2013 to 2015. I am certain that the inactivity at the current time has to do with this being a busier part of the year.
But to answer the actual question, that is rather hard to say. Many forums have been running well ever since the Internet was made a thing, and others have lasted for weeks.

We get probably one new person every 1 or 2 days, but most of those people don't ever post, and are likely only joining to get sticks from Pivot Chat. We only get one new poster per week, and most of those die out pretty quick.

Well how many newcomers do we get in a day anyway? We got 38 members this year, 0.267 members/day, or one member every 3-4 days. MonolophosaurusThat applies to all forums, however. Going at that rate, the forum will, in theory, not die due to activity-related issues.

Even though it won't die of activity-related issues, this forum will become very inactive like that one from Droidz. Newcomers, according to Monolophosaurus, just come here for the sticks from the Pivot Chat. That issue is the lurker issue found in every forum - 90%+ of users are not active, this happens even in forums that have been active since 1996. The thing is, the more newcomers we get, the more active we get, not the other way around, as you are elucidating. The rate of lurkers that eventually become active remains more or less the same, and thus, as more people join, the more active people we get. Out of ~40 newcomers, 2-3 were active. One of them was proceratosaurus, who made 900+ posts so far, caused es1001 to make some 900 posts, and by posting on almost every thread on the forum, made several people become more active. They had what to reply to, that's why. Eventually, we will get yet another influential poster, and that's how the forum grows. The forum is still in its growing stage. Also, the sticks from Pivot Chat can be downloaded by guests as well, if we made it so that only registered users could download files, our lurker rate would be immense.

Holy crap, I misread the title, I thought it said 'When will the forum die' or something along those lines
Anyways, its kinda hard to predict the life of a forum, things can easily fluctuate in terms of overall activity

I personally think it's the "eventfulness" that drives people away
Because (and I don't mean to offend Theropod here) it feels like not a lot goes on here. I know I seem dead and just come back every now and then but I actually log in all the time. But when I do I don't see anything new. The only exciting thing for me is off topic but that's only because it's my part of this forum (lol)
I mean, I do love this place and all of you guys are like an awesome group of friends I can chill with every now and then. But It does really feel like not a lot goes on, AND again. It's not to say that this place sucks. When this place is booming, I really want to be here with you guys. But when this place dies, it reaaaallly fucking dies.
I will suggest however we have a special section for "updates" or whatever. When I started my little Pivot community on Google Plus there was one thing I find different here from here. It's main thing is it's a place where people post updates and stuff. We need a MAJOR section that everyone can see and post their own animations. Post updates of fights, or previews. Something!
We need a section that makes the Pivot and animation part more obvious so we can all support each other and give input

None taken bro I guess I'll have to reorganize the sections - stuff that is not related to animation in general is hidden under chit chat zones. Don't get me wrong, it's more than obvious that I love to chat and stuff, but it is not wrong to say that we need to revamp this forum and make other things stand out as well. If my memory favours me, I will send all the staff a PM tomorrow to schedule a maintenance time, so that all the staff can be online at once and working on the issues that need more attention. All the users will be warned 48 hours before maintenance, and we will let everyone know when the forum will be back up.

Everyone here, with the exception of a few, is fairly inactive. I actually think the PDFC community will never fully die out, but it will never be as grand as it once was again
But this forum is a place for the community to live on without necessarily creating content, so I'm sure that this site and future forums will last a long time.

Late 2013, and we also had a mini-revival Late 2014 / Early 2015. Those were the times.
Hey, it could happen again!
