Not only the forums, but also people who could give life to forums are dying. Forums generate discussions. Now people want to socialize, not discuss.
Or maybe as Nuck81 said, we're running out of things to talk about. 'And there's nothing new under the sun' -- at least true for most forums. Just look at System Wars here.

I'm still here, Gamespot is all i know and it's my home.
Besides gamespot, I only visit two other forums; one on which I post, one on which I only lurk. The other board on which I post, golf related GolfWRX.com, is quite active. The one on which I only lurk, MMA related Sherdog.com, is also very active.
Sherdog is an popluated by even more batshit crazy people than System Wars, so I refrain from posting there and don't check the boards often. Much like gaming, I've lost most of my interest in MMA, especially after UFC acquired Pride years ago.
It's the dictionary definition of being a limousine liberal.
What the **** are you talking about?
It's a very common signifier of a certain type of person. You don't generally see working class construction workers taking photos of their lunch to show their friends.
The emphasis of eating sophisticated food being a symbol of your character is something that you only tend to find with middle class cosmopolitan liberal types. It's the same people who go to Starbucks and buy Apple products.

Yeah, because wealthy, vacuous women who vote republican definitely wouldn't do something like that. I forgot that blue collar stiffs were the only people that voted republican *eyeroll*
@thehig1: Its that abomination that is social media that is killing our beloved forums man. I can't live without my forums :(
Although, while social media has severely impacted traffic in forums it has made them more "hardcore" by weeding out the plebs that would give up glorious forums for inferior Facebook and twitter. We're running lean now. However, forums seem to have lost lolz value as those capable of generating it profusely have migrated to social media as stated already. So you win some you lose some I guess.
I'd argue that Reddit has fucked up forums for real, much more than social media did considering that it has the ability of attracting more serious audience. Its like one gigantic forum extending to every topic and interest out there. Its like the Walmart of forums.
