been thinking about this for a while
most of the old forums are either dead, locked down or just full of spam now
back then you had actual discussions, now everything is telegram / discord drops and gone in 5 minutes
feels like the whole "forum culture" is fading but at the same time new smaller communities are popping up
what do you guys think?
is this the end of forums or just a shift?
2026 underground scene: old forums dying, new gen taking over?
