Unfortunately there's no reason for sites to run forums when they can just start a subreddit or something.
Good, fuck them. Post counts are cancer.

well ya.
forums are slow and shitty and full of retarded mods that get all butthurt when you post in a thread that is 5 years old.
Also doesn't help that nearly all forums are not mobile responsive, further making them shitty.
good riddance

So they're exactly like reddit?
Something something, value of a network is proportional to square of number of users
Doesn't apply to 4chan tho

This is a fucking forum you turds. Who the fuck told you post count is a forum feature? I first started browsing in 1998 on the Fates Warning forum and we had fuck all of those features.

they're dead because forum moderators and administrators are fucking idiots. one of the forums i used to frequent got a new administrator because the old one stepped down. one of the first rules he implemented was that every new member must make post an introduction before he can post anywhere else. the worst part is that the moderators actually enforce that rule.
Forums are cancer. They encourage an eceleb culture. Someone you disagree with is instantly right because they've been there longer. Others suck up to the "big boys" to get proxy attention. They encourage echo chambers worse than 4chan because a dissenting outsider can be run off the forum or straight up banned for going against the grain. Admins and mods publicly posting enables them to abuse their status.

Nobody cares, this is not your blog.

It was even fucking anonymous. WWWForum.pl on perl I think it was the technology or something like that. You would post some kind of random nickname and puff, post.

You have to go back to /pol/, nigger.
we have a thread currently up about this and the reason why they're dead is because forum admins are pieces of shit who ban everyone over nothing. This will never stop and therefore forums will never come back.
