LFGSS really has its own identity that is rare to find online in current times. It comes from the atmosphere of community, from the pleasing functionality of the platform itself, and the level of activity accumulated over years of uptime. Facebook, Reddit and Discord were never able to fill the space left after the old era of internet forums ended, as they didn't have the structure for fostering thoughtful discussion or developing a communal knowledge base.
It would be a huge shame to see this corner of the internet go dark. Hopefully something can be done.
