More recent languages have slicker, more user-friendly forums and support sites.

Slickness and user-friendliness are in the eye of the user. I have not, to my recollection, used a slicker forum than this. It is much, much faster and easier to use than the vast majority of other user fora I inhabit. It is easily user-customisable and user-extensible. I can use it in any browser of my choice and with JavaScript fully disabled if I so choose. It doesn't have pop-ups obscuring the content for any reason (cookies, subscriptions, other legal notices, etc.), it doesn't have inactivity timeouts, doesn't force its choice of font or style or anything on me.

Don't go chasing new blood with "shiny". The old blood might just up sticks for pastures new instead.
