Probably because in the early 2000's there were several big forums that most people all posted on because the internet was young. IGN and gamefaqs were always big for videogames back then, before several other sites popped up which is why they were so active.
For fandoms for specific franchises, there was always this place for TMNT, serebii/bulbagarden for pokemon, Kazenshuu for Dragonball, the usual Star Wars and DC forums, etc, Toonzone was huge for cartoons in the early/mid 2000's, etc.
Nowadays everything is spread out through social media, so now everyone is on different places and all forum activity has declined. So that's why people all posted on the same forums depending on your interests, it's where everyone was. That is why I hate social media, now everyone is in their own separate bubble on the internet secluded from everyone else.
