Chris Pearson, writing at Aftermath, highlights what many of you probably already know: forums are alive and awesome.

When I want information, like the real stuff, I go to forums. Over the years, forums did not really get smaller, so much as the rest of the internet just got bigger. Reddit, Discord and Facebook groups have filled a lot of that space, but there is just certain information that requires the dedication of adults who have specifically signed up to be in one kind of community. This blog is a salute to those forums that are either worth participating in or at least looking at in bewilderment.

Some great picks here. I, obviously, have an affinity for these kinds of smaller yet vibrant communities.
