This is my first time visiting the forums here after they were closed on Duolingo and quite honestly, I'm almost in tears, this feels so much like home and then some, thank you so much for sticking around.

Well, you are welcome (I pass the handkerchief).
By the way, why did you arrive so late?. I wonder if you knew about the forum before or only found out now.
Thank you oh so kindly (folds the handkerchief into a crane, tries flying it but finds it hard to flap both wings with one hand when the other one is holding the base so glides it back to the table, taps it on the head and lets it go, switches back to looking attentively at the interlocutor).
I knew about the forums for quite some time, but thought that people wouldn't really want to switch, I never logged in here and had no idea how much better this place is than what was hosted by Duolingo. I think I was a bit heartbroken too, when I joined Duo back in the day it was so much more about the community, I honestly have no clue why they drifted away from that but it seemed to me that's something lost forever, and it isn't! I still need to get acquainted here as it's only my second day, but already I can see a lot of familiar faces and as Old Lodge Skins once said, my heart soars like a hawk.
The usual answer to this question here is "Just because they can" .

I'm not one of the old-timers, was on the duolingo only a month before the forum closed. But I also saw a couple of oldies).

And none of them wants to play games, they want to do everything the old-fashioned way...With the advent of the chat, I began to hope that there might be someone there. But for now, there's usually just "Hi, Bye, How are you, fine, and you, fine, and you etc.", and that's it....What to do, what it be

pfftt but they are not all old people though like you and me and im sure many others arent ancient people using the "old-fashioned way". And what games do you have in mind, for videogames and whatever?

The old-fashioned way is generally used by everyone at the moment).

Many years ago I was on another forum with a completely different topic. There was also a chat and we then arranged in the forum for this chat.
Someone wrote then e.g. who has desire on Sunday at 19 o'clock to chat? Thereupon some came forward. Often we even agreed on a topic.
Then on the Sunday at 7 pm, the people were present in the chat and one talked about the topic.
There are many ways to get something going. What I can say is that you need perseverance and the person who initiates something like this should be reliable in his tasks. It can take weeks or months until such a thing is established. But if you don't let yourself be dissuaded from it, something good can arise.
And another possibility of chatting with probably rather young people is also here: https://discord.com/invite/794mjSKU7p.

Let's look at the true state of my idea:
These people should:
The last two points are the toughest. All other points can match, but shyness is the cornerstone. Even on this forum, people are terribly embarrassed by their slightest ignorance of the language. They constantly ask if their english is good, often warn that they haven't spoken it for a long time or that they are only learning it. And at the same time, I have not met a single case here when someone would complain about it, I have not even seen moments of misunderstanding.
At the moment, from what there is, it is only by pure luck that you can find someone who fits.

Similarly to the above, the theme of the duolingo discord is also drifting. It was just promoted before the forum closed and even that didn't help. People are embarrassed to talk. There, again, you can find someone only by chance.
There was a moment on the now closed forum, when the girl offered discord to practice english, but after an unsuccessful attempt to give her an invitation, she fell silent.
People are shy. Even seriously talking to them about it is already a task. Someone's computer suddenly does not work, someone's components suddenly do not pull even the simplest games, someone suddenly loses the connection and so on. I've been swimming in all this for a long time.
Even this simplest game for the participants is an unbearable task in the current situation.

I don't like to write a lot, as well as read, my eyes ache. I explained everything as briefly as possible.
