No. I miss the communities and simple forums which have died typically for the reasons stated above. I don't think this is "I remember the sky was brighter" or any other common misunderstandings. I follow some simple forums still and am aware yes, they are technically inferior and have issues and even getting https on some sites is effort due to the internet having evolved around old code. Some do evolve and adapt, and saying "I prefer the way they were" would be closer to what you think I'm saying. The communities I miss have gone. There is no subreddit covering the same topics afaik and as such that probably means I should reach out and start to find these communities myself, but I miss the old forum interactions, hence why I follow other forums. There are a few still out there who have survived the purge, but only because the people/person behind it have invested personal time/effort/money over the year out of their personal commitment
