The SA forums went through several iterations but stopped evolving at some point, and I think now the general vibe is that to keep it like a historic community while the userbase slowly declines. A lot of the activity has been subsumed by megathread with their own in-group, culture and rules that more or less function as a whatsapp convo, and due to various fortunate or unfortunate happenings over time a lot of activity migrated to discord channels. Its not a bad end for SA considering how many other community sites on the internet ended up disintegrating completely.

The forums have only a sliver of the activity of compared to what they had before, but I guess some people aren't happy until its all consolidated down to 10 mega-threads with the same 40 people posting for that special community feel.

Hotel Kpro posted:Yeah when the future of the forums was in doubt because lowtax was getting tired of grifting it a bunch of posters took their mega threads into discord and it killed activity in some threads. And also there’s the issue of tons of posters only checking bookmarked threads so some new threads just kinda fade away without much interaction cause people can’t be arsed to look at the main forum index once in a while its because the content algorithm "every post bumps thread to top of index" is terrible. There's a reason everyone has moved on from it, but unfortunately this place has stuck to it so long that everyone either left or switched to using bookmarked threads - and then you just have the weirdos left scanning the forums index like a pre-2005 internet.
