Are Forums Dying?

But hey, what do I know, I'm a forums noobie :poop:

FAQ/Support forums are only big if the company actually pays attention to them. I've seen a lot of companies make these so called Support forums and you hardly get any responses. Youtube/Google kinda solves all those issues. But forums are great imho. I believe that there could be a comeback.

Discord is cool and all, but how much can you actually do in it that a forum based site can't? I'm new to Discord, so maybe I have been missing the main things.. I would really hate for the concept of a forums site to disappear. They can begreat communities.
