i miss classic web forums. down with discord.
ill kinda bitch about it more later but been lamenting the loss of being able to easily revisit older discussions like you could back in the day, or just stumble across some older conversations and get inspired. even if there are some forums still out there, it's not the same ykwim. the traffic isnt there. discord feels very transient, too loud. the chat format has its pros/cons like anything.
but lord help you if you have a job/other responsibilities. topics would have come and gone by the time you had a chance to settle back in and catch up. people will post commentary on art/fics that the creators will likely never see. not a new novel observation by any means but i've been stewing on it. like you have this live access to chatting with others but the archival appeal/functionality that a classic forum provides is lost.
