I miss the days when sites would run their own forums (remember phpBB?) and we had huge, organic communities for everything.

I think the mobile web killed most of that off or at least struck the final blow. The sites weren't particularly mobile friendly and they'd ask you to install an app like Tapatalk which nobody wanted.
