Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

I spent a lot of time in a few forums in the 00s. Many of them still exist but they are shells of what they used to be. One that I check into once a year or so has about one post per year - and it's normally a post asking if anyone is still there. The owner keeps it running as a memorial to one of the mods who has passed.

yeah, I feel this. Currently it is mainly nostalgia and memorial why we keep it running.

I used to love Something Awful, which I think is still doing pretty well at a glance. So many good book recommendations.
