    Some forums are still around, but they have fewer active users than your average social media community. I’m thinking of the competitive scene of an old game I used to play. Those guys still use the forums to this day.

      Definitely!! There’s a few I frequent too (funny enough mostly attached to virtual pet sites lol), but it’s sad how many communities have moved to Discord. Which don’t get me wrong I like Discord, I’ve been in really fun servers and use it to talk to my friends, but it sucks for archiving purposes and is just not a good replacement for forums imo
