No. Only very selective people joined message boards. The rest were on AOL, compact or not at all. You're taking a very select group of.people and expecting the Facebook and iPad generations to be able to do that. Not going to happen. I also noticed some people below talking about things like geocities and other minor free hosting and publishing site that are all gone now. They're not coming back.

Yep, those things were so rarely used ... sure. You are forgetting that 99% of people knew nothing about computers when this stuff came out, but people made themselves learn. It's like comparing Reddit and Twitter to a federated alternative.

Also, something like geocities could easily make a comeback if the damn corporations would stop throwing dozens of pop-ups, banners, and sidescrolls on everything.
