Internet forums are still alive and kicking and full of information. Here are the best niche communities I could find that are alive and well.

    I used to love forums back in the day, but I must say I’ve really gotten over the format of the medium. It promotes email-like long form responses with space used up with avatar images, handles and signature blocks. Nested replies become a nightmare steer several layer’s and you’re cooked on mobile.

    Would love a Lemmy-like plugin to parse vBulletin forums. Endless scroll for topics, minimal non-content fluff, easy and quick replies. (The irony of this reply length isn’t lost on me. Most of my replies are short, promise!)

    The forum I belonged to (the brown room) which was full of people kicked/banned off the main forum (the blue room).

    Eventually the owner of the site was jailed for trying to blow up n RC car under the car of his ex wife’s partner.

    I went back to my old forum haunt after a 10 year absence recently, very surprised to see it’s still kicking, though a bit less active. Nice to talk to some old friends lol
