I joined revscene in the mid 2000's when riced civics with neon underglows + fast and the furious and the car culture seemed so much more lively back then.
Facebook started it, but other social media as well, mostly reddit

And yeah, being a niche forum also limits new interest, especially regional. Anyone interested in cars will find a subreddit to go to. Vancouver people will go to the Vancouver subreddit. I guess there's Whatsapp groups too but I never used Whatsapp for group messaging before.. it seems like it would be awful for that

Also yeah, 25 years later it's just one of those things people don't really do anymore in very large numbers.
