What is a website like this classified as? I love it, im trying to find a website just like this, but with different information then this. Like a website just like this one, same concepts but since its a different website, it will offer more information in addition to this website. I hope that made sense. Thanks in advance.

This is called a Forum, if that's what you're after?

Yes, but what are names of other popular fourms?

Most areas of human interest, from broad to very specific, would have a popular forum in which discussion happened. That is until such a time as drama happened (and drama always happens) and they split, or someone reckoned they could do something better, or a bigger site gained a section which overlapped it. In that case the cycle might repeat, one might fail or everything imploded.

Today the likes of Facebook groups, Reddit, Spiceworks and similar such services have rendered such things far less common than they once were. Personally I find those things unpleasant to use -- no real/easy searching, no long term archive, largely ephemeral... urgh. That said for the short term use of rapidly changing information most seek they work well enough and well enough is enough to drain the life from many forums. Then again the same was probably said by many in mailing lists and usenet groups.

A buzzword is community but it is so overused that searching for it is not going to get you far -- it is how you make a site that lasts but so many have no idea about how to pull it off.

Well, we're mainly a console hacking forum for the most part (even though we've now evolved into a general gaming site instead, in which case you'd just want subreddits like r/game or whatever, or gamefaqs), so I suppose sites like Wololo.net, hackinformer, PSX-place, etc etc might be what you're looking for?

Though I'm not sure what kind of "different information" you're looking for, for the most part GBATemp is either at the forefront, or just behind, any other console hacking forum news/info wise. Heck, a lot of these sites actually use us as a source for their own info.

Thanks you! Websites like those are what I was looking for! And what I meant by more information was like I have been reading through like every page of each sub-forums and I have gotten far back into like the 2016's, so I wanted another site to go on while new posts are being made here.
