I've been a big fan of forums since I first went online in the late 90's. One where I was very active started charging a yearly subscription which was enough for me to leave. Another, privately owned, just disappeared. Apparently the owner had enough. I do recall a time when it was inundated with bots/scammers. Some very good information was lost forever. I wrote some in-depth postings myself which were important enough to me that I saved them.
Facebook is ok but for me it just doesn't replace forums like this. There's just too much clutter as well as a little too much drama for me.
