As someone who grew up in an era of "the forum days of old", there was always way more activity going on in most forums than this bullshit. Gathering a group of like-minded people with similar ideologies onto a website, and then having like 400 subscribers with none of them talking to each other is a post-reddit phenomenon. People wanted to come home from school/work, boot up their PC and catch up with their internet friends. Now you get two posts per day which can range from "yeah" to "yeah, i agree, fuck women". Low effort crap.

I don't know who the fuck you guys are, but I certainly didn't grow up with you in the 2000-era internet.

I also grew up in the 2000s. It was a better and simpler time

I guess I forgot to clarify, a lot of the "forums" that I used to browse were amateur help/troubleshooting, and you'd get lucky to get a reply on topics you posted because people didnt know answers. I'm sure general social forums were more active, but I wasnt on them (I was into video games/ irl socialization, so I never looked them up.)

However the irc chatbar on the side now is cool.

It's hard to get excited about not enjoying life.
