    Discord became big because of the seamless audio / video / screen sharing. Forums are not even in the same stratosphere.

      i know, but for casual conversations and banter and a place where to store some knowledge about some topics forums were awesome.

        Forums work for knowledge storage, but for casual banter real time conversations trump everything

          yeah, forums are cool but I remember changing to another medium like MSN Messenger to do real time conversations

        Yea… Forums were (are) great for something that Discord isn’t great at…
