Now there's NodeBB. Although it doesn't yet have an Android app, I'm excited about the potential return of old-school forum software that it represents.

What's a thematic forum? Do you mean a site with people on it talking about some topic? Do you mean software like NodeBB?

IDK what you mean about "return" of old school forums. They never went away, they're still here, maybe slowly declining, but a long way from dead. I don't think NodeBB is particularly relevant to keeping them alive. Neither are client side apps since they are usually accessed with browsers.

Doomworld is still going. I joined a few years back and it was such a blast of nostalgia being on a normal forum after so long.

Vogons is still actively used. I'm also aware of some other forums but I don't feel comfortable mentioning them even though I use some of them occasionally.
