Bulletin boards (a.k.a., "forums") have never gone away. Actually, they're more popular than ever.

Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.

Facebook Groups are forums -- bolted onto Facebook itself -- and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.

Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.

And the reason why @nodebb@fosstodon.org federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 -- which was just released today.

@ex_06 @julian although I am very excited about federation, due to my burnout and financial situation I haven't been able to pursue this feature and we dropped it from our NLnet grant. I'm hoping to dive into it again as part of a future 2.x release.

@atomicpoet @nodebb I agree! Since you mentioned reddit: Weren’t lemmy and kbin also supposed to be federated forums for the fediverse?

@julian It's great. I saw first a link to your website and I could not reply from my Mastodon account. I had to find the post through Mastodon itself.

Maybe in the future you could add the possibility to reply from mastodon account.
