What is a real shame is that the chaotic social media format has taken over forum use completely. Honestly, that is very hard to wrap your head around when you look at how those formats treat conversation - a single page and just scroll through the completely random posting, absent of real formatting, organization and ongoing examination of basically anything.
The message board-style forum is a superior format in everyway.
But it is what it is. I think the real issue is that the generations who carried the fandoms for these I.P.'s are aging out or letting it go at a rate that far surpasses any incoming blood from younger generations. Younger generations would rather judge everything than enjoy anything, so it's no surprise that they do not have lifelong fandoms or I.P.'s from growing up that they have dug into.
I wish I could say otherwise, but all of the evidence points to this as opposed to some positive homogenization elsewhere.
