Meh, all the accusations the Seahawks community got from other fanbases during their heyday is unfortunately being proven right. Seattle clearly has their legit die-hard fans, and now they also clearly have bandwagon and fair-weather fans.
Congrats, Seattle isn't the unique snowflake of the major sports cities that they thought they were. Welcome to being like a typical city with major sports teams, enjoy your stay.
The "social media killed the forum site" argument I think only goes so far. Yeah, people have moved on to more modern social media platforms, but that may be a case of quantity over quality. Not everybody digs interacting with people that respond in memes, emojis, or people that spout ignorance and try to ram their opinions down people's throats and sell them as facts, and actually want to have real, legit discussion, with actual, credible sources to go with it. If anything, modern social media has weeded those kind of people out of forums.
People getting banned/chased off? I would argue that that's typical of any forum. To what degree is up for debate.
There's always going to be a market for forums: Not everybody enjoys putting their real identity out there on places like Facebook, the toxic cesspool known as Twitter makes this place look like Sesame Street in comparison (and if you like interacting with bots every now and again, hey, you do you), and Reddit is notorious for catering to people that want to live in echo chambers and base their value in the world on their upvote to post ratio.
