> forums Every single forum I frequented "back in the days" (ca. 2004, vBulletin-style) is gone. These were forums that hosted intense/focused technical discussions, in a way that just doesn't seem to exist anymore, with very few exceptions. At least I cannot find anything comparable. Today, there is just Reddit/HN and everything else is mostly commercialized and/or dumbed-down content. Don't even get me started on "educational" youtube videos.
