I re-joined just a few days ago, and I looked around first, and it didn't seem THIS dead, but, either I didn't look close enough or I 're-joined' on a good day where people posted.
Call me an old fart, but I personally don't like social media for talking about things. I use tumblr mildly, and both of the current shows I'm watching (Were new when I started them but I got behind) I got spoiled. That's why I like message boards. You can look and say "Oh, My Hero Academia thread? Better not go in there!"
Also it feels so impersonal. Someone posts something, you can reply to it, but it will probably go ignored. If you want to have a conversation about it, no such luck.
It's the same thing with other things too. My favorite singer used to have a message board and it was great to talk to other fans, and occasionally, he would stop by himself. But now, all that is gone because of twitter and things like that. And I will admit... I did join twitter a few years ago just to send one tweet, to him, to play a song when I saw him that he hadn't been playing, and he did.... o.o
But even so, even if that wouldn't have happened, I prefer message boards. To me it's just easier, and more orginized.
