Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

All my heart still belongs to the canon HV20 forum. It taught me how to film, it taught me how to chat to people in an online community.

It was never about a camcorder. It was about connection.

Plus, you could search for stuff on google and the forum results would pop up. Good look with discord doing that.

They are not disappearing, I still use forums like discogs, XDA, satellite forums, local forums country or city etc. You just have to search and find.

Every now and then I get a forum as a search result and they're just so clunky. Replies are spaced out too much, no chains, everyone has a long winded signature phrase. I'm glad it went to this kind of format.

Please PLEASE nobody tell them if you value your sanity at all

Especially since Reddit passes out bans like candy, it's the biggest forum on the internet and I can't use it because of a site wide ban that I didn't deserve.
