i started using the internet in the late 2000's and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post ... now its just random websites ... if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by these search crawlers they are not mentioned . Where did all those forums went...are there still active forums ?

It was. Until it became very damn toxic. Just as bad as Steam boards are today. Did it become too popular for its own good? Did the good moderators give up? Or is it just me that are too sensitive, and are unable to be as aggressive as is trendy?
