What is the reason that makes you guys want to use a forum?

I remember finding this website when trying to reduce the time i spent on platforms like twitter and discord. Now every time I’m in a period where i have a lot to do (like the time before my university exams) I come here during my breaks. It gives me a place to talk to people without the algorithm keeping me there for hours. I like this about this website and was wondering what keeps you guys here?

I’ve only just joined but I thought I might as well chime in here!

Surely there’s a bit of nostalgia attached to the format of forums, but I also think it’s one of the better mediums for focused discussion on the internet. Stuff like Twitter or Discord can get really hard to sort through or keep track of if you’re not present at the time of discussion. I also really enjoy the feeling of community on forums and the way you start to recognize regular posters and their pfps, signatures, etc.
