There's still vBulletin/phpBB places out there. I spend a lot of time on Dragon Mount discussing Wheel of Time, or Lakers Ground talking about the LA Lakers. Physics Forums has always pretty good for any kind of academic discussion, not just physics. The problem is discoverability. How would I find these places today if I hadn't already found them in 2001? I have no idea. Unfortunately, the solution is also discoverability. Likely the biggest reason I still find these places satisfying is they're niche sites full of long-time contributors who know each other that have never become popular and never had eternal September happen because they're hard to find.
