    Between Reddit and Discord I don’t know who did more damage. Forums were neat, especially because knowledge on it was permanent

      Yeah. I worry about how many things are moving into Discord. They are giving so much away for free right now that it stifling competition. Eventually they will need to turn a profit and, with competition reduced, they can get real shitty with it.

      knowledge on it was permanent

      Unless someone linked to something.
      I have often found old forum posts related to some problem I have only to find the link to the suggested solution broken.

        True, but at least you could try to waybackmachine it, while discord is very often gated behind registration + phone verification and is not as easy to find the info you need
