Reply To: Now that you're all here reading the forums again…..

I used to run admin on a forum until Facebook, which you could possibly argue is halfway between a chat program and a forum, pretty much killed the forum.  Facebook is a vastly inferior tool for creating and managing discussion but it killed the forum all the same.  Generally speaking, people don’t have the time to maintain a presence on lots of media platforms so whilst discord and forums are technically designed for different things, it is still possible that Discord is killing the forums purely by being a distraction.

I don’t do discord at all – I use it for audio and video streaming whilst gaming but not as a dedicated chat program.  Until now I hadn’t considered that Discord could be a cause of reduced forum traffic
