For me, I would say coding and support is one thing I like to offer that makes me want to be a part of forums, but it's also the ability to chat with like-minded people on subjects of similar interest and sometimes just a way to blow off steam.
I enjoy talking to people online, and I feel that you can get more mature responses from forums rather than other places like social media. I'm sure back in the day there were more trolls on forums, but these days all the more toxic people seem to be on social media.

I agree. Forums mostly consist of an older, more mature audience nowadays. Seems like the trolls either grew up or lost interest.
I began joining forums when my daughter was born and I needed an adult around to talk to when my husband was at work! It was fun at first joining a local dial up community and then I got into the ones on the world wide web later on. I've made some really good longtime friends throughout the world through forums.
I am good at creating content on various topics. I am active on a lot of forums and I post on almost a dozen forums every day. On some forums I have even created 70 thousands posts.
