I’ve been a member of a lot of “real” forums based on different subjects, automotive, homesteading etc where people can start their own personal thread and and if it ends up being huge, will show up at the top of the category forever based on number of replies/posts, unlike here, where time buries everything, like a social network.
Here’s the longest thread ever on composting. It’s an interesting read because he has a way with words. The first several pages are almost exclusively posts from the OP.

The original forum owner got overwhelmed shortly after Trump took office because many of the liberals suddenly became rabid and fighting ensued with the conservatives. They wouldn’t keep it in General Discussion either and reached into every forum category. She didn’t have what it took to make the decision and start booting people from one side or the other so she sold it. Then it sold again and again. Each owner also went to different forum software. It’s a shell of what it was but that thread remains, 198 pages long with 20 posts per page.
The original thread poster is long gone(from the forum), driven out by the rabid left. Pretty much all the conservatives are gone, driven off to a state of internet diaspora.
Another place you see long ongoing threads is automotive forums and they’re usually named, “My 1951 Chevy truck build”, etc.
I started a similar thread over at No-till Growing forum based on my high tunnel adventure of learning and building. Every step of the way, every decision making or learning process, loaded with pics and techno-jargon.
Ya’ll got it easy.
