There's always chickcam, that even has chat! (warning kids may be watching and reading). Most forums have a discord or 50 that you can hang out in and complain that the forums are down in. I think games has a primary discord, I don't think I'm in it, but I do end up in niche ones like Monster Hunter and Diablo 2 mods.

there's like a million thread discords and a fews splinter group discords from when people were looking to move offsite during Lowtax's big fat internet destruction but I don't think any of them really crystallized as a proper full on site backup

Should be enough people on just about any of them for you to chat with until the forums are restored, and if they are gone for good there's probably people spread out through enough of them to get word out even to the small ones eventually with whatever the new plan is. Assuming we'd even want to make a new forum if there was a complete destruction.

It's not the same though. During outtages I prefer to make my own "Forums" offline thread, adopting the personas of at least 10 GBS posters. It's the unconscious leaking into the conscious, which IMO can only be a good thing.
