Yup, my account is over 11 years old and still going strong! Previous forums I used were:
1. the Joel on Software forum, which was great, with a similar clean design, but didn't last as long (Joel got tired of moderating it, probably)
https://discuss.fogcreek.com/joelonsoftware/ (now has an outdated cert :-( )
2. Usenet. Epic thread that gives you a picture of what happened to Usenet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24772142 (a flame war between drummers went on for 20 years, and one of them is even flamed 8 years after his death!!!)
Random sample of how bad it could be: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.music.makers.percussion/c/-E...
