Random message boards like this were my favourite thing of the early 2000s. The personalities that appeared on random forums were hilarious, I looked forward to reading and posting as it was genuine and great.
Reddit took over most of this, and it was okay for a time. I still love HN for the stories and the insightful and unique comments like the one you left.
- endorphine 5y agoI so miss these 2000-era forums, I ran one myself once upon a time. I think that instant messaging apps have token over those. Nowadays it's more usual to create a private Slack workspace (or a Mastodon server) instead of a forum, but sadly this takes away many of the more thoughtful, longer posts that you'd typically find in such forums.
