While I am complaining / yelling at clouds, the slow death of actual online forums is mildly depressing and concerning. I used to participate or at least read a few Canadian beer forums....The Bar Towel, Brewnosers, and the Canada section at BeerAdvocate. All slowly dying, and if you don't check in for a few months you might only miss a handful of posts. The BeerAdvocate forum in particular is dead with the exception of the spring and fall trading/exchange threads. I've noticed that the General forum at BeerAdvocate is still fairly busy, but the traffic is either people re-posting "what are you drinking now" which is mirroring social media posts, or it's the older, retired guys talking about beer history. I guess for the most part everyone has moved on to social media, which really doesn't do justice to proper discussion.
