I mean forums have really lost popularity for about the past decade at least, but it feels like it's been especially speeding up lately. With only a few exceptions, most forum communities these days feel like a cesspool, full of edgelords and tryhards causing trouble, saying nasty things, treating people nasty, and so on. My list of forums I actually want to have anything to do with anymore has only been shrinking over the years, and if it isn't the community turning awful it's the community slowly disappearing with the forums dying off.
It's sad to see these sites go as well because not only have I always enjoyed the format when it comes to social media, but there's been loads of valuable information that has been shared on them that is probably going to get lost before we know it. It's like either I've been growing out of them, or the people using them have never grown up, because it doesn't seem like forums caught on with the younger generations, with most users being millennials, as hard as that can be to believe judging by the way they can act. I'm just wondering if it really is as bad as I think it is, because the internet has been becoming really boring and unengaging the more this trend continues.
