I agree. While I still sometimes come back for some specialised forums, reddit has taken over most of my time that was spent in forums, just because it's so convenient to have all these small subreddits in one app.
I still have more than fifty forum accounts in my keepass but I can't even remember when I've last been to budgetlightforum.com, for example, even though it's still superior to /r/flashlights.
In a way it's sad, because I've seen some forums suddenly die, and the knowledge of more than a decade just vanished overnight. Vast repositories of DIY and repair information on old petroleum lanterns just gone, while the people who have experience with them are slowly dieing out. But I guess I'm part of the problem, since all I do on these forums is lurking nowadays.
