Potentially the longest thread in history...

Forums were the geek social media of yesteryear. I hate how they died out in favor or cesspools like Reddit and Youtube.

You left out Farcebook and tictoc too

Not really the platform I was going for in that context. Tiktok doesn't really have reviews or anything discussion related, and Facebook is just regurgitated old memes and stale news that people fanboi argue on. Youtube on the other hand you'll see all out retard wars on the techtuber videos, and Reddit I've seen some really dumb stuff being said and if you disagree with them the mods will boot you. It's especially bad in the sysadmin subreddit.

After that Post I made in the forum feedback section, I was curious and I know its been a while since I was genuinely really active but what happened to kman or carnage and all the regulars just a few years ago when I was really active. The only one still hear from what I can see is PP and Trotter . Where did everyone go?

Like PP said, just life. I have several kids now which take most of my time. And working from home as a SWE on a computer all day, I don't really want to get on my personal one as much. Just putting in more time with my family.

Also, Hi all .
