I pretty much like forums equal to social media, and often more, due to the fact, that forums are way more structured than that social media crap. Maybe if forums could introduce timelines, this would be cool ^^
Less people active cause they only come to get their interest don't really care about it no more. Even the 8 posts rules to get a Leaked Content isn't useful to keep members but that just make them not think while they post no more.
