Forums are dead?

I think these days yes and no to forums still allot of big sites use them for the likes of support. but on the other hand there are clan and a stack of nulled like forums out there but members don't seem to stick around for long a lot get bogged down with the same content and topics. then there is ones that have a chatbox and the chat is all that gets used. So are forums dead its up to the users to make there mind up I guess.
