Usenet for the win!

Because, at least these days, people try to do everything in Discord, even the things at wasn't designed to do.

I still think forums can have their place in the web. As none of thr social media fully replaces them. It's has more to do with convincing younger people to use them, and how to monetize them.

Imo Discord sucks because of its structure, it’s much harder to locate posts and threads than BBs with a structure such as here and most of the forums I visit. Discord is my last choice for anything other than voice chat and even there I prefer TeamSpeak.

I agree! It's chaotic. I can't imagine the huge amount of lost information we will lose if it was shut down, compared to the many forums you can still access today (sometimes via the wayback machine).
