i started using the internet in the late 2000's and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post ... now its just random websites ... if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by these search crawlers they are not mentioned . Where did all those forums went...are there still active forums ?

Vehicle related forums are very much alive. It’s the best place you can go to get help with your car. I hang around on a couple different ones and it’s far better than anything I’ve seen on Reddit.

Have you got any links to some?

They are vehicle specific. I own a Toyota tundra and a Mazda Miata so I hang out on tundras.com and miata.net

if you look for Honda Accord forums for example, you would eventually be able to find nearly all the info you need to build one from scrap..
