The State of Forum Communities

I'm definitely in agreement with all of that!

Especially the last one. I'm old school enough to appreciate using the forum structure that we've always been used to.
 
I also love the structure of forums - honestly Reddit is super popular but it's not very organized within a sub unfortunately. A lot of people do prefer FB and Reddit though over forums these days as it's one less thing to register for.

I can't stand the structures of sites like Reddit or FB.

I have a huge FB group. Everything gets lost on it. I can never really find things again. If there were categories or prefixes, it would make it a whole lot easier.

Forums have been around since the mid 90's. Much has changed since then. I wrote an article about this the other day. I thought I'd post it here to see what you think.


So do you think I was accurate with what I posted?

It sounds right, I think. Anyway, not all forums are dead. For instance, I know a few strongly active guitar and drumming forums. Anyway, though, these are strong communities of the past that keep loyal members, unless they are paying them secretly, ha ha. I really don't know.
 
A lot of the bigger forums are just that, loyal members who have been there for years. They're used to the forum and therefore, they're there to stay.

However, the new challenge is getting younger people to want to join. People who are not exactly used to forums.
