Internet forums are still alive and kicking and full of information. Here are the best niche communities I could find that are alive and well.

    MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

      Usenet’s mostly pirated stuff now.

      IRC is a shadow of its former self, but if you’re into FOSS it’s still good.

    The forum I belonged to (the brown room) which was full of people kicked/banned off the main forum (the blue room).

    Eventually the owner of the site was jailed for trying to blow up n RC car under the car of his ex wife’s partner.

    I love forums. I think they should stay the way they are. We just need to get people off Reddit and decentralize back to the relevant forums instead. . ok.
