forums are the best. i encounter ex-redditors here on the threadiverse who are like “well at least discord is better than old school forums” and i’m like “what am i missing that everyone thinks old school forums are so horrid”
I don’t get it either, but I’ve seen the same perception. My own partner said “but aren’t forums… dangerous?” like BRO we MET on a forum and you think that?? They thought all forums were reactionary chans, and what they used was just a website where people chat.

But yeah discord sucks.
Forums were a bit painful to use comparatively, having to page through threads trying to find info lol, necro bumping, spam bots…etc lol
I do remember running a cracked version of vbulletin on a rando free hosting site tho for my friends lol
