Yes. Mostly hosted in the USA.

Problem is that regional forums in Europe died because of the regulations.

The biggest forum in the world is european.

forocoches(dot)com

And I have more:

mediavida(dot)com ( it means half-life :) )

And then I have random ones:

redcafe(dot)net foro.acb(dot)com

I read them, and post on them daily, forums are alive and kicking it on europe :)

Why do you care where a forum with no regulations is hosted?
he mentioned regional forums, so I assume a large part of what is missing is a common culture/language instead of whatever conglomeration comes out of the US.

the EU regulations made it harder/less attractive to host a small local forum and I think that was his point

Which regulations specifically? GDPR?

It may just be because people in Europe interact in real life more and don't need an online forum.

Yup. That’s my plan. Forget all these companies and AI. Just let me talk to people and hear what they think is cool.
