By nature and definition, social media is any platform that without users there would be no content. Vbulletin forums et al actually fall into that scope.

And gods do I miss them. Used to have a website i'd go for every niche discussion, and if there were points in the forum it was usually for gimmicky flash games or something and not for clout

I think a major criteria should be gamifying of content with likes, follows, etc. as the person above was getting at.
