Not one particular reason. The list is long. Top 3 might be:
1. Forums are now spread around, just like in the old BBS days. You
have to log on to a number of different sites to keep up with your
threads. You will probably find some of the same people and some of
the same subjects several places. You will need to remember a separate
password for each site. We are moving back in time. I remember how
great an improvement it was when Usenet too over for BBSes. I don't
want to go back.
2. I'm stuck with someone else's idea of how a user interface should
work, and I have to learn several different ones.
3. Ads.

Yes, but that's the same in every form of forum, whether it's
electronic or in real life. The difference is, on my Usenet client, I
make three mouse clicks, and the annoying dude is killfiled.

Yes. Head speed is around 2500, but I am not capable of any hardcore
3D, so my flying style is probably classfied as gentle to meduim.
