It is a trend that is dying, except very strong forums like this one, most forums are in the decline, it's sad because I always liked the style that forums have but social media, messengers etc killed it slowly, of course BHW has the legacy that can me me say for sure that it is far from dying, but it is very rare today.
Definitely dying, i see private discords replacing forums like this. usually better information on niche forums like this rather than broader audience sites like reddit. HOWEVER discords are harder to find
with that being said, anyone got any discord invites to some cool discords?
