Case of point being a new version of the music client Llama music player - developer dropped a message about it a week ago about where to post it, didnt hear from a moderators and since then nothing - so new client out there and no way for the community to get it. wheres the buzz and excitment on the forums ? there isnt any.....
It's not just you here. I'm also having trouble getting used to this old-fashioned forum style, but it seems like others don't want to spend their time on it either. For me, the main issue is user experience. A forum is only useful when there's a huge user base, which was possible in the 90s because people didn't have other ways to get information and chat with each other. Nowadays, there are tons of ways to get information and communicate, so people don't want to actively search for things that don't matter to them unless they have a need. They just want to browse, stay informed, and quickly leave comments. That's why I think Reddit is more popular than traditional forums - it saves time. Personally, I don't think this forum can attract and keep users.
