forumnightwatch
/ˈfɔːrəmˌnaɪtwɒtʃ/nounVerified NewThe lone member who keeps posting into a quiet forum, keeping it technically alive long after the crowd has gone.
Someone answers every question in a ghost town. The watch is unpaid and unthanked, and it is the reason the archive still breathes; every old community survives on a nightwatch most members never notice.
Etym. — forum + night watch — the sentry of the small hours, applied to dying communities.
