Topic: I miss the message boards of ol'

Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 10 years ago #52,057

Forums like the ones you see ran in PHP or forum softwares such as Simple Machines, vBulletin, and even ProBoards.

I hate how social media completely killed the forum communities.

But those were all terrible. They "died" because they were user-unfriendly pieces of shit, not because social networking came along.

Some of them were friendly though. I, recently, even discovered a forum that is too friendly that it extends beyond the reaches of a hugbox.

Which forum would that be?

Could be a number of reasons. It could be because when I was born I had a few seizures. It could be due to some undiagnosed disease such as cancer of the brain. Maybe I am just naturally stupid. I dunno how to answer this question.

Not the developmentally disabled sort of dumb.

The gleefully misunderstanding commonly used words and phrases sort of dumb.

You probably know which forum I am referring to, honestly.
I made a mistake of saying recently since I did discover a much better forum than them.

@previous (Timber Nigger !faggot)
Oh. I'm not sure then.

I don't want to say it in case I've guessed right, so give me some kind of hint.

The forum has a name in it and you probably did guess it right.

I'm not, I was using them as an example of an overly friendly forum that goes beyond the reaches of a hugbox.
I haven't been there in months.

I found a better forum to go to though.

Upgrade to usenet newsgroups.

Besides, those sort of forums still exist, but I'll agree that social media has taken a toll on smaller boards.

I still use a very active forum that uses vBulletin (almost 50k users, several million posts). It feels antiquated, but it works well for the site's purposes.
