Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

Every now and then I get a forum as a search result and they're just so clunky. Replies are spaced out too much, no chains, everyone has a long winded signature phrase. I'm glad it went to this kind of format.

Forums existed when everyone had a 1024x800 computer monitor on his desk, before mobile Webbrowsers where a thing. The layout did make sense at the time.

Nah even on desktop it's clunky.
