I was a member of PornCity and several others. MaxCash had a private forum as well. There was also one run by the folks from StandardInternet (12 clicks, Mojo, et al) called TunaFishBitch. Oprano, while not as busy, was pretty informational at times too.
Times change, people go in different directions. And social media has put a dent into forums, no question. But there's still a place for boards like GFY, and certainly the privately held boards.
Heh, talking about nostalgia, I was talking with someone the other day about back in the day on the newsgroups when Playboy's lawyers came in and threatened some of the people scanning thhe mage and posting the binaries. I think I still have the attachment somewhere on an old hard drive that, umm -- I think it was a guy named Johnoscan -- who scanned and poosted the cease and desist letter they sent him. I'd argue no one would have known who Alley Baggett was online without those guys scanning the mag and posting to newsgroups and IRC.
Anyway... things evolve. Those of us still around have had to evolve with it. That's just life.
