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 ?

I should give it a try. I used to read the front page every day but never joined the forums since I was a broke kid.

I recently started posting on Doomworld and it's been such a nostalhia trip being on a normal forum after so many years. SA might be worth it just for the nostalgia alone.
