I see a lot of people saying online that "forums are dying off because of discord and reddit"

yet other people reply: "Well, I'm still using my forum/IRC."

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

Spacebattles is still alive.

Nexusmods "forums" and pages still have some social activity.

TBH it’s pretty barren. I noticed that even comment sections are drying up.

You mean across many websites don't you?

I definitely see a lot of websites with a comment box that it is just a wasteland lol.

I am sometimes like, jeez why even bother to include a comment box 🤣
