I miss forums too. Discord has kind of taking over that role for my friends and I, but Discord makes it feel like you are posting something with everyone staring at you through a window. I hate that it notifies that you are actively typing.

Discord sucks for what forums are good for. Forums are great for durable discussions that can be indexed, searched, discovered, and referenced. Discord? It’s only good at real time conversations

I don’t get the popularity of discord. You have to wade through so much casual conversation to find anything of value.

And my questions got lost in a flood of messages… Even Discord now has to implement forums feature to prevent this problem.
