I have to agree. Forums were much needed and a big deal in the late 1990s
through the mid-2000s, but it's remarkably difficult to get a new forum
going these days. Even with a hardcore community like this one - the type
of audience who would generally understand and appreciate the benefits of a
good forum - there are remarkably few people who really care enough to put
in the effort to even sign up, let alone participate. Generally speaking,
I'd say between VCF, AtariAge, and Facebook - all already previously
well-established - things are covered. Even something like this mailing
list is a dying breed, but certainly thriving enough with this particular
audience (and similar communities) to probably keep running indefinitely.
With that said, similarly, I'd have my doubts a newly created mailing list
would get much traction nowadays.
