I hate to be a Debbie downer, but the forums ain't coming back, Jack. The best we'd ever get is their shitty ass "news letter" or being asked to link to real life social media accounts (not just bs forum usernames) to be part of some sort of online community, but who in their right mind would do that?
I miss the olden misc days too, mane. Sucks that they're gone. But the way things were handled in the 2020's makes me have no desire to see a true return of the forums, because lettuce beef cereal and real tea; we all know it'd just be more of the same old shit. At this point I'm pretty satisfied to embrace here at FoH as our new home (at least to those of us who showed up). It seemed like 90% of the misc was just poor natured trolling and e-fighting, every excuse for people to be hateful pricks.
I was as addicted to the misc as anyone else here out of old habit and still liking the good miscers, but I'm honestly feel a slight weight lifted off my shoulders now that the plug was simply yanked out. I don't need the toxic aspects of that bs in my life at this point.
