Facebook etc has also killed off many forums. These days teenagers post on social media rather than join a forum.
Also on a more recent note GDPR has killed off some forums. Two forums that I have been a part of have recently closed for that reason. They are like this ie a one man band and the owners have decided that it's too much hassle to comply when they have jobs/family etc taking up their time so it was easier to close the forums. Large companies such as proboards have staff and it's easy for them in comparison. The same goes for charities.
