The one I miss is the Internet Movie DataBase forum (IMDb). It was a goldmine of information, insight, humor, analysis, support and intelligent criticism, with just a bit of crazy.

Eliminating comment sections at pretty much all news sites would be an excellent step in fixing society as we know it. Nearly all comments on Fox, CNN, The Washington Post, et. al, are worthless.
