The forums of old times still exist in some corners of the internet. They used to be big and there was one for pretty much every topic.
But most died over the years or got replaced by services like Facebook groups, Reddit or Discord.
Are you still using proper forums, which ones and why haven’t you made the switch to other forms of communication?
After ditching Reddit I found most of the car centric subreddit content was just coming from forums that survived because car people were inherently old school, even for EVs. So if you want to know the latest about EV trucks there’s forums for Rivian, Cybertruck, and Lightning. The trouble is that they are all very tribal, so getting unbiased info seems harder. I’m also a fan of older jeeps and they are full of problems, but almost all of them have answers on these forums from the early 2000s with links to geocities pages. Hopefully someone detailed the answer and only linked for supporting details.
