It depends on the type of community you are seeking. Others use forums others use social media

It's complicated... Forums a think have a place as more specialized places for very specific communities like this one...
There are some things that can't be done in facebook groups, and lots of interesting people that wont get on facebook or similar platforms
So I guess there is still a place, obviously, but the "golden age" has passed...

For me, no. Forums always will be popular becouse a lot of games/private servers using it. It will never fall down. It's best option for communication for them Wink

I remember back in the day when we had DSL internet, there was this forum where we talked about almost everything. That's where I learned most of my photoshop skills, and I met some amazing people over MSN. I remember using MSN, good old days. There is no forum like it, I guess forums are going to be gone, there is reddit, the biggest forum platform out there.

Depends on the forum, some forums die out due to it not being active enough or the content provided on the forums, I owned one for a couple years and it was a big hit till I stepped down from Founder due to RL issues, and came back and its pretty much destroyed.

There are many differences between a forum and a social network.

A forum is a place where people share ideas about a specific argument.
Those arguments are divided in a thread/chronological format, easy to follow for each argument.
That's not the scope of a social network, in which people create connexion to other people or groups.
