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.

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it's guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and "engagement". It's like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it's fast as blazes too.
