Pretty much every forum I'm familiar with is either dead or close to it. Most of the classic computer forums have migrated to facebook because of the olds, and Discord has basically taken over gaming chat, reducing the userbases of the forums to just trolls, bots, and the occasional mod.
Some of the more project-oriented forums are still pretty active, but they're not really the same kind of thing, since there's not much off-topic discussion.
I know about Bahn's busy hands, and I think there was that one crazy cultist guy who jerked off in a park, Master of 7's I think.
I'm not sure who else.
#1 any dead community has in common? The most active posts are about themselves dying and the good ol' days. The politics thread is the only saving grace right now, I think. Close that and the forum is dormant. If you want to fix the forums you just post more—it's not rocket science (I don't care that much. Everything has a season) I first noticed a big decline way back after the mods went on a tear and the plebs wanted to merge things all posts in to topic mega threads (politics is the main one that survived to this day with regular activity). Then you have the topic policeman-types like Dolemite who literally get upset at stuff like a politics discussion going on in the politics thread and blowing up.
I recall the moment I started checking out of TNL. It was a thread where all the fluffy white boys here were really waxing poetic about how they were all just laissez-fair geniuses. Now it's just a time killer on the shitter.

I knew about Ethugg's thing but not Mo7. But Bahn crossed over to my real life when a buddy was like, "Hey didn't you post on that Got Next Level forum site?" and wanted to know if he was as shitty as the articles said. I don't know if we had a visitor uptick around that time but one of the articles mentioned GameGo/TNL/Got Next.

huh, that means 4. 5 if you count the one that has admitted to it here but hasn't been called on it.
