Active uniques were high, the amount of time people spent on the site was continuing to grow, and new accounts were being created at a rate faster than accounts were being closed. I shook my head; I didn’t think that was enough. A few months later, the site started to unravel.
Sounds a lot like the way ecosystems collapse. At first nothing seems amiss, maybe a slow decline, but hardly worrying. Time passes, and you start to think nothing bad will happen after all.

Actually this is my second try to join the Threadiverse, too, except this time it might just stick for a change. Coming from the Fediverse side, where I've been since 2008 or 2009. Caught the tail end of Usenet, too, but to me forums are what's worth preserving and/or reviving here.
