>I see a lot of sites I used to visit go this way including the forums for Magic: the Gathering
I used to post on the "official" WoTC MtG forums a while ago (2010ish) it was essentially dead back then. Threads would sit for weeks with no replies. I can see how it wasn't worth the effort to maintain/moderate them.
Sites like Channel Fireball etc killed the forums. I strongly dislike the MtG reddit page but discussion does happen there.
The forums dedicated to specific formats seem to be going strong still (i.e the mana drain for vintage).
