Honestly usually a forum dies because the community itself died first and no one cares about the thing anymore.
Google Groups may have lasted this long but as far as I’m concerned, it already died long ago and there was no reason to even go to it anymore.
There are still forums that out there that have survived two decades or more because their community is still alive. And keeping a community alive is not a technical matter.
- dakial1 4y agoHere is not the group dying, but the underlying platform that is dying because its maintainer (Google) lost interest in the business. So the active groups that are left there need to move to somewhere new (and risk losing all their data/history in the process)
