I know hundreds of them exist, but most of them just have a generic feel about the posts. They're defintely way too niche nowadays. In fact, reading some posts from people on a few of these sites, you have to question if they are true fans of anything at all.
I got banned from NeoGAF yesterday, for good. The members there were being so arrogant anyway, but I probably should have left sooner instead of giving them the satisfaction. They temporarily banned me twice before that because some arsehole kept provoking me. I'm also not able to run a YouTube channel because I don't have fancy video editing skills like the people that run the big channels with more affiliates, and to be honest, I don't have a very clear accent, being Scottish. No one cares about my views on Resident Evil. It's obvious, and when I'm back with a new account, all trolls do is subscribe with private accounts and vote down the videos.
The relatively few actual Resident Evil forums I go on are virtually dead. As a matter of fact, I now post on one solitary site about the series. That's because I got too much hassle from all the others, but most of them just closed down or became a boneyard over the years. There's nothing to debate anymore. Nothing whatsoever. Plus, those type of forums are full of fanboy types anyway, and they don't seem to be feeling the pinch with the decline in quality of these games, as much as I am.
I'm still active on two Silent Hill forums, and that series has been dead since 2015. They should think of cutting the rope at this point. It's the same situation: Members seldom post, and I've been trying to keep everything looking busy, but it's pointless. I'm posting, but no one else is doing a thing. I might as well say it was the year 2012 that the franchise died in, but P.T. debuted its trailer in 2014, I think. I'm not sure. That game was sadly cancelled anyway. Since then, most fans have just been crying their eyes out about Konami.
It's a sad time for gaming forums. I don't know what happened. Back in 2004 or so, these kind of communities always had activity. Always! I'll be glad when this year is over, because in general, this decade sucked so much. And I'm certainly not joining any more forums. I broke that promise a few days ago, and joined a site called Joyfreak, but then I discovered that it's dead too.
