Topix forums bids the internet farewell, shuts down website

Popular online discussion board Topix Forums has announced it is ending its tenure as the best site for your town’s “latest news and hottest takes.”

The website was a place where community members could go and post local news and gossip relevant to their own town. The community ‘Forums’ section was just one tab on the Topix website.

“We want to thank all of our forum readers and contributors. You helped shape our company and push us in directions we never thought possible. We hope that you continue to enjoy our content no matter what form it might take,” reads a statement on the Topix website.
