I feel like I date myself every time I tell people I want to go back to forums. It's why I liked reddit so much, and prefer Kbin. Small threads on topics are so much easier to follow than a 3,000 message chat interaction with 200 different topics strewn together.

or go back to the good old Forum times.

And they're in a good position to do that. People can't complain "but I dun wanna make an account" when they already need one to play the game.
