Social Media feeds the growing need (and narcissism) for people to pop in, say something and then leave. It's navel gazing bullpoop. It's all me, me, me, now, now, now. It has no depth, no history, no sense of community. A message board like this will always be superior in all those ways. Unfortunately, the world is going to, or has gone to, social media and away from message boards. Some people will say boards like these are social media but they predate the term and are quite different in a lot of ways. I don't consider message boards to be anywhere near the same type of communication that sites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc are but what do I know, I'm becoming an old person.
