The last couple of weeks ive been cleaning up old accounts i had still around, but kept quite a few up most notable one of forums I used to frequent many of them dead but not all, and with that I also created new ones. One thing I have noticed is that you really do not need a critical mass for a forum to "function" its fine if there is no post for a day if the discussions you have are valuable.

Always nice to see @julian@community.nodebb.org

I miss old Usenet forums. They actually worked better because they had the concept of, you've already seen this message, you don't have to read it again. And so you could go back and actually have longer conversations over time because you weren't constantly trying to figure out what to read next. Some of the forums I've used I'm trying to do this however they don't do it nearly as well because it's more like you've read this far up in this page and so if you start reading and then use and there are multiple posts and you run out of time you eventually reach quite where you've closed a tab and when you come back it assumes you've read things you haven't.

I don’t suppose there’s a readable version? Ok if not.

What are forums ??🤔🤔🤔

He lost me at 8:20

Why should I care about seeing everything the whole world has posted about dogs, etc?

I should be able to find everything if I look for it, but not seeing everything by default makes it more of a community vibe.
