I like imageboards. I think it's partly nostalgia for me too. They remind me of the tolerance and freedom that was present on the early internet. Everything in contrast feels so heavily moderated or censored. Forums can be good too, but it's so hard to find good forums these days, and they tend to have quite a bit of moderation compared to imageboards so it's not the same.
In my opinion imageboards are dying. They used to be much better when they were more popular. I've also noticed that they're increasingly getting infested with spam and scams these days too. The golden age of imageboards was definitely ~15 years ago. Their appeal has largely been displaced by social media and sites like Reddit.
