Man, so much time spent in that UI reading and talking with people. Good memories.

  Yes! Those forums really felt like places. Social media nowadays just feels like, well, TV.

    I post regularly on a vbulletin forum and have for the last 15 years. Every so often someone who used to be active will drop by and it drags other old lurkers out. One of the better analogies is that it feels like neighborhood bar, there are regulars, new loud people, new people who get a feel for the space, people who come in every now and again. And then occasionally it feels like thanksgiving where a bunch of people are back in town and show up all together.

      This makes me want to get back into scifi-meshes.org. Man, I used to be on there daily for years. Blender was an absolute God-send in my childhood, and having a place to talk with others that were doing the same thing made it so much more... I don't know. Impactful.

    Still some holdouts - mainly in niche automotive forums. If you work on old cars or are an enthusiast, these are still very active places.
