Before reddit, these sorts of forums were hosted on their own websites. I think having a forum on reddit these days is a major liability. I wonder if these forums would benefit from being hosted in a more de-centralized and durable manner.

The few communities that still exist tend to use things like Discourse (which I dispise); funny to think that people used to pay hundreds of dollars for VBulletin and XenForo licenses. A worrying trend is new communities using, or existing communities migrating to, Discord.
