Eli5: why is it that whenever I need to find something online, there is always a forum from 2001?

Do such forums still exist? Will people in 2040 trying to figure out why their computer screen is flickering find old forums from 2020?

2001 was the time most websites started to grow, there are many websites, forums and chatrooms from back then, but they just got a different look these days. Some problems may exist way longer than modern websites which means every forum that discussed that problem way back then, has a higher click rate which means it has a higher priority in Google's algorithm.
