The unavoidable and serious problem with Maiotaku

My earliest email from this site is from 2009. I wasn't very active mostly lurking. The site was pretty quiet then from what I remember. Really picked up in 2015. Lots of good times in here. Never found love here(or anywhere else XD) like you lucky lot but best to be thankful. https://i.postimg.cc/3NJWWPvF/a9816a.jpg I started using social media ages ago. Chatrooms, forums, images boards. It's fun for me. First forum I was dedicated on was an Inuyasha forum. I sometimes wonder how my friends there are doing. Was able to use the wayback machine to see some old posts, nearly brought a tear to my eye. https://media1.tenor.com/m/cQ-2owQdFcMAAAAC/black.gif Times change though, there's a lot less forums in the wake of what I like to call "mega sites" Facebook, reddit, Twitter, etc. They incorporate elements of chatrooms, forums, image boards, on layers of pages. It's essentially severeal sites combined into one. Now don't get me wrong I have had good times on these sites too and still do but I like the cozy feeling of forums. It's more laid back. I'm in a retro gaming community forum that's still active and got back into Newgrounds. Still have my account from when I was a sweet baby boy teenager. https://media1.tenor.com/m/4f5iY-7CEwsAAAAC/ranma-anime.gif There's also Discord to pick up the slack from mega sites along with social games. Like VR chat. I still have a hard time with VRchat I don't really like to speak in the mic straight up. I tried going into one room and there was a barrier I tried jumping over. Then some guy got mad at me saying "dude, we need your age" so I freaked and left started playing Marvel Rivals tried making a joke about me abusing morphine but Marvel Rivals chat censor didn't let me. TwT. I still won punching with the Thing. https://media1.tenor.com/m/JOEJGuBU0XoAAAAC/marvel-rivals.gif I think forums will survive for specialized interests. There is a chance they may see some revival especially since mega sites are becoming increasingly restrictive and controlling. In terms of Maiotaku, who knows, I haven't had the heart to go searching for new dating sites. Think it's too late to find anything meaningful at this point. I am sure there are nerd based dating I figure they are apps though. Then I have to go through the scrutiny of potential matches. I'm alright at getting some attention but not much more than that. So I can't comment on the state of dating apps much. https://media1.tenor.com/m/kN14QbOxw7oAAAAC/tenma-kenzo-tenma.gif I ranted a lot but generally speaking it's best to be thankful for what you get no matter how little. We all had good times here and that's special. "Such is life" as they say. https://youtu.be/br_bRdZxl2M
