How many more years do you think these forums will last?
I personally hope the forums are around for ever.

This is a tough question I honestly don't know. I know I won't be here in 40 years maybe in 5, 10 at the most I really don't know. I guess I'll vote for 5 years.

What, do you plan to die at 60 or something? I voted for 10+ years. I don't think Oddworld will last that long, judging by the way times keep changing rapidly. I might be wrong if Oddworld Inhabitants is lucky.

You know I can see it right now we are all 90 years old and we are all talking still about Oddworld.

I for one think Oddworld is going to be with us for the rest of our lives


Even if the forums leave.

I think the forums will be on forever or maybe for the remainder of the quintology.
But if it does it will be sad to see it go. To me I feel like we are all some kind of an online family of sorts. Even though we have arguements here and there it's like we know each other in how we talk to each other in that fashion.

I would hate to see this go like that.

I think the forums will stay up as long as people will be interested in Oddworld and the regulars will keep visiting.

Thinking of this, a totally weird idea of the forum's future popped up in my mind. Imagine that, years later, nobody who visits the forums nowadays will visit them anymore. Even mods and admins. Then, the people who visit the forums in the future will browse through ancient topics, and wonder who those people have been... "Hey, did any of you know we used to have admins in the past?" They will see the posts we make today, and wonder who we are.....

Weird.

Or, we will keep visiting 'till death. Imagine the topics that will be made: "Hey, It's my birthday today! I turned 60!" "Ha, I'm 71, older than you!" And: "Hey, I will retire tomorrow!"

Weird.

EDIT: I voted 40+
