the talent pool was waaaaaay bigger back then. in any form of competition, there are always mid-level competitors that imitate the top level competitors. top guys all had different styles, but there were always mid level clones.. hell even some top level dudes would switch up their styles and copy the guy on the hot streak. it's just more evident now, when there's a lot less of the mid level talent and even less top level guys.

A handful other boards I post are still bringing in numbers.. On a wednesday afternoon there's 2482 users at the anime board I use.. Most users ever on was 4997 and that was Febuary of this year, so that board is still going strong after 10 years, as are others. It just requires a draw.. and I don't think hip hop boards have that draw anymore.

I've posted on rap, basketball and journalism message boards for a decade. The activity at all of them has gone down dramatically, regardless of the initial size of the communities.

It's the draw, I guess.. online communities all serve a niche. The anime/gaming boards aren't slowing down, obviously, gamers/anime fans/nerds clearly still embrace the concept of forums.

The forums at sherdog are pretty active, but there's also a hub of news articles to bring people there and keep them talking.
I think our generation viewed the internet as a means to connect with people around the world more than this generation does. They seem to be more interested in nonstop connection with friends. Idk though, probably has more to do with the evolution of the internet more than generational differences; everyone's parents are on fb catching up with old friends and shit.

social media killed forums just like it killed most blog communities
and blogs killed e/n sites before that and e/n sites killed newsgroups and bbs frontdoor groups and so on and so forth..
