The forums of old times still exist in some corners of the internet. They used to be big and there was one for pretty much every topic.

But most died over the years or got replaced by services like Facebook groups, Reddit or Discord.

Are you still using proper forums, which ones and why haven’t you made the switch to other forms of communication?

    Yes I use quite a few and mostly started using them again this past year. The thing that made the big difference was finding the app Hermit. It let’s me have something akin to a separate browser per forum that is fixed to that URL. I then have a bunch of shortcuts on my home screen, one per forum. It made using forums so much easier and streamlined.
