some days I really miss forums. I used to spend hours every evening on theforce.net and theonering forums. but that was before LJ and tracked comments and I wouldn't give those up for anything.

yes I know there's still forums in lots of places but nothing for my current fandoms compared to 20 years ago. dear god that really was 20 years ago...

Me too! There are a handful I used to frequent (not just for fandom, but certain hobbies) and I really miss them. Reddit has pretty much replaced the hobby discussion, but there's not really a good alternative for the fandom stuff and it makes me sad.

Also, a friend of mine created a "secret" forum for our group of friends to post on. There were like...eight of us who posted regularly, and a handful of others who'd pop in randomly from time to time. We would talk mainly about music/movies/TV shows, and just had a bunch of random conversations. There was some romantic drama/general drama, as tends to happen with a group of people in their late teens/early 20s, and we all drifted apart and quit posting, but I miss those days. :(

I agree. They were great and weird and fascinating and had so many little specific dramas. But I think their demise was probably inevitable (and also, of course for all that I loved them, God there was a lot of awfully stupid shit on them).

I feel like i have kind of curated my Twitter timeline to the point where I get a similar kind of quality from it (some once said that Twitter is basically like if you took 15 different early-00s forums that would have despised each other and jammed them onto one site, and there's some truth to that). But it's def not the same.

I spent so much time on Gaia and anime forums in my teen years and loved every minute of it (well, except the RP drama). I met some really cool people, but everyone left Gaia once the inflation got out of hand and my main anime forum had a site crash, so everything's gone now. I'm still on an American Girl forum, but activity there has gone way down. Sometimes I think about my old online buddies and wonder how their lives are going. I hope they're all happy.
