I think in the traditional sense, only because of other alternatives, that it may seem like forums are dying. I prefer to view it in a more positive light and see it evolving.

I agree, they are evolving in a sense of software, but community wise... I'm just not sure. Although, a lot of mobile games have adapted forums for players to share guides, clans, guilds, etc. A few of the games I play offer a forums page. Especially one game that actually offers a main forums page specifically for the game itself, then a separate editable forum for your clan. I think that is a pretty cool and interesting way to allow for a community to expand. Allowing users to create their own forums within your site, is a very interesting idea.
