It really wasn't.

I know there was some drama recently with some users that I don't care to understand, but it was a pretty chill place.

At least general was. I don't look at the politics forum, which also got shut down.

IMDB forums shut down years ago.
Newgrounds' forums are now gone.

Something Awful forums are still up though. All I know he was basically forced to sell the forums because he's a wife beater.

Newgrounds has either been sold or is about to be sold, and the new owners can't monetize shitposting.
That's the only scenario that makes sense, unless the site is being leaned on by payment processors. Certainly would explain the sudden need to log in to view "naughty" content, about a year ago.

Never knew they had a forum (of course it makes sense in hindsight with how old Newgrounds is).

IMDB forums shutting down was a tragedy. The forums were garbage for mainstream movies, but it was a great place for niche and obscure movies. It was a great information source for those type of movies.

Also lame that the post recommends forming a Discord or something. Discord is complete garbage once the user base reaches a certain level. Discord is only good for small discussions between a few friends. The rise of so many things using Discord is part of why searching Internet searching has turned to shit.

Mostly, yes, then died again when "adult" content started demanding a login for some reason.

At least there is still the Supporter Party forum, which is basically a general forum for people who pay for supporter status.

There's also at least one person on the site who randomly gifts non-supporters with a month of supporter status.
