    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
