I wish there were more "modern" old school forum software alternatives, which you can still just throw onto any LAMP stack hosting provider. I think the closest thing I've found is Flarum. I'm predicting that in a decade or two, we'll start to notice, that there's a huge gap in retained information, because so many online interactions moved into closed systems, such as social media pages or Discord servers, which aren't well or at all indexed and we might have permanently lost some platforms along the way.
