The few forums that do allow it are dead or dying. But most forums are LAME stream only and seem to be more of a place for left wing politics then actual gaming or whatever hobby the forum is about as the OT (Off Topic) sections get/see more activity and if you don't actively politically align with them, (Far left) they'll at best ignore you until you say the wrong view. Suddenly you're a Hitler follower.

I wish the popular theory guys would post or cross post their lively debates or contents on these forums to bring them back to life. I know I tried and failed. It's like the forums do NOT mind being a dying bread which seems counterproductive to the growth they envisioned when their site first launched back in 19XX. Forums only skim the surface of things.

City Data forums was one of the last holdouts but they seem to be mostly a political propaganda site doing these 'fake' debates that seem by design to go nowhere politically.
