Does anybody miss and remember the 2000s scene?

Does anybody remember and miss the 2000s scene of anime and manga? I sure do! I miss how interesting and fun the scene was, from the forums that were abundant. Also, how conventions were the wild west but not like how we see it; like, everyone was there to meet likeminded fans.

Do you miss and remember how the anime scene was back in the 2000s?

Many do.

It feels like once it went mainstream all the magic disappeared; from it feeling like something only we knew about, to now everybody knows -- whether they treat it as a fad, like it outright or just plain don't like it.

I loved the forums back then. Now most are dead.

Dead or long lost into the fog of the internet. It's sad when once lively forums were abundant but now are just graveyards of discussions, and fan art/fanfics that are basically forgotten.
