Blame social media formats for that. We tend to mostly hang on Discord and/or IRC now so at least there's that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zemekis Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 It's super sad. There's hardly anywhere left that isn't infested with attention-span draining "shorts" or other such modern social media....stuff, for lack of a better word. It feels vapid and fleeting, compared to an old-fashioned forum post. The thing is, they are basically dead and communities have consolidated elsewhere onto sites that serve thousands of interests. I love niche forums like this and even though I may be here at the very tail end of its lifespan, I have to thank you guys for keeping it alive as long as you have. As recently as 2021 I met a new group of friends via a forum with a similar active userbase to this one, and I've flown out to visit them 3 times now! It still happens and forums like these still serve a purpose in connecting people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
