Message boards are dying though

This couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe YOUR message boards are dying but not message boarding in general.

Reddit, Quora, Stack Overflow, etc. are at all-time highs right now.

What you've experienced are the thousands of message boards out there have been weeded out over time and each genre has started to produce it's "go-to" board.

But internet communities and message boarding is at an all-time high. Strange enough, there currently isn't a "go-to" board for sports to the size of Reddit or Quora.
