I think the better question is that why is it still running or why isn't it shut down already?
I had a look around at that site and yeah it's a ghost town and a former shell of itself. I mean look at the news and it hasn't been updated since last year!
I did read that sad story on page 1 (which sadly it seen we dominated them and driven our sister website members away or onto here) which I think it's better to take it at the back of the woods to finish it off than to continue to be left in a depressing state.

Susan already answered your question.Scarim Coral said:
As for the 'sad' story on page 1? I was the one who compiled the moderator abuse of power report on mrcheese; let's be generous and say he's spun that story like a politician.
Ok fair enough, I should had read both side of the stories. From Susan comments, if I got it right, should any remaining members from the Warcry had all left (all of them) or when the "resources" is absolutely zero, that is probably when it should be consider to shut Warcry down or something like that?paulgruberman said:
Thing is, after having a brief look at the Warcry forums, the very thing these guys apparently hated about the escapists, is what they looked like by being.. well such asses about it all, they seem like a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals, arguing about a few spammers on their beloved forums that would get banned anyway.. I just.. What.Luftwaffles said:
Either way, never been a huge fan of forums period, only really like Escapist because you find the right mix of cheap laughs and intelligence. Interesting read though, like the feud of two great houses who's children married, THE ROMEO AND JULIET OF OUR TIME!
I think we may have finally found that mythic basement that we're always warning new users about.
There's no conditions set for shutting it down.Scarim Coral said:
The only difference between the two sites has been cosmetic. Think of it like two rows of seats on a bus - they share the same frame and engine, with just a slightly different view out the window. The 'merge' was just us pointing out the seats on the other side.
I paid a visit to the site. So creepy to be walking on dead earth. Felt much like the first time I walked through the Plaugelands in WoW.

But...we're not supposed to go in The Basement! It's literally Rule #1 of the Escapist!Evil Smurf said:
drastic times my friend, they call for drastic measures. Besides I don't go by the book, I follow my intuition and that makes me the best damn cop on the force.Secret world leader (shhh) said:
Eh, I had a lurk around there a few times way back when I had just joined (2008ish) after I realised there were forums over there.
It was....kinda meh to be completely honest. The threads I found were on par with Gamefaqs in terms of quality, the people were borderline hostile and moderators were nothing like the Escapist's beloved mods (though I should mention here that I took several long breaks from the Escapist and drama has an affection for communities so I'm not entirely sure if I should still be calling them beloved, the fact no one says their names anymore rings large "social cue" type alarm bells in my paranoid head.); the ones I remember from my brief trips were more like the mods you find on small fan run forums, slight them or anything they love at your peril.
Rot in peace dead forum.
The only use I've had for it is as a mirror for usergroups way back when the Escapist was getting timed out and then later when usergroups were derping over here.
I suspect that it's left alive as an experiment to see what spam bots do when left to run wild in their natural enviroment, rather like the Religion and Politics sub-forum and trolls

I must admit, I don't see a huge amount of point in trying to revive the forum. All it would be like is here, pretty much. It is nice to visit for novelty value I'll admit.
If the forum does become a bigger change than I anticipate, I would check it out though.
