    Thank you! I feel like I’m the only person who lived through that time. Having everything on one site is way simpler, reddit sucks but that doesn’t mean the concept does.

    I do not miss having to sign up for a specific forum, wait for the email, no email, check spam folder, no email, 15 mins later email shows up in spam, go to post, “sorry you can’t make a post without interacting with at least 5 other posts”, post random shit on 5 other posts, finally get to post, "this question has been answered. Post archived "

      Another factor, is…

      Well, Especially for users in large communities, or those with lots of interests, they will end up on LOTS of forums.

      And, that turns into either, a lot of notifications, or a lot of ignored interactions due to the number of notifications.

      The last thing people don’t seem to remember, half of the damn forums wanting to put damn ads everywhere.
