10+ years ago, the Simpsons Collector Sector forum was a beehive of activity. Playmates' Simpsons World of Springfield line was going strong, and hundreds of users spent time daily at the SCS posting amongst its many busy forums. The site became so popular and influential that Playmates often made decisions on character choices and marketing strategies based on forum input.. the SCS even hosted a panel discussion at SDCC that Playmates reps participated in.
Then, in 2004, the Simpsons line ended. Traffic on the site gradually slowed, dwindling more and more over the years.
Today, days can pass without so much as a single post. It's a ghost town. Regardless, and at their own expense, dedicated site owners keep it up and running, if only to maintain an archive of once was.
What other formerly great forums can you name that went the way of the dodo?
