Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

That's all good but those features are not what makes a good discussion forum. This, what we're typing on, is an example of a good forum.

Some communities don't need a good discussion forum, they need voice chat with a little text chat. Originally, discord was for gaming groups and it worked amazingly for that. Now, more communities are on it than should be, but its still a good feature set for gaming groups.

Because it shouldn't be used as a discussion forum. It's more similar to an irc and teamspeak

You can actually make forums inside of channels now if you are a community discord. But search is still shit lol
