In what way?

>>62420658
Well, I don't go to reddit, but I do find that nowadays most "forums" are sub-groups inside larger pages. Like this shithole for example.

SQL injection. Millions of forums annually are defaced, hijacked or have all of their users login credentials dumped.

Nah, desu at this point I just use Facebook groups for things like that.

Reddit killed them, which is a fucking shame since Reddit is one of the worst formats for discussion ever invented.
