Google+ will have such domination that I might actually see new posts on my feed that aren't from 2011 ?
The message board was going to be dead with the advancement of HTML, PHP and other technologies about 10 years ago. I remember almost similar threads.
All I can see from you post is you want the board hacked so it shows how many people have liked stuff? If you are struggling to get members then might I suggest that its because you are focusing too much on social media integration and not on making your board busy, interesting with a good fix of daily content. It's easy for me to say that with a board that's been running since 1997 you might argue but actually it's because the board is well run, fast, well moderated and busy with 1000-1500 users on-line at any point. More members, more content, the more they'll return. It's a simple, effective, rule that's worked from a time when comic sans was trendy.
Social media sites and fads come and go (as mentioned, myspace) - message boards have and always will have their place on-line, they will always evolve. Just go and compare IPB 1.3 to 3.3.. http://www.dutchforc...forum/index.php
