I miss when forums used to be busy, this one including this one. I guess social media killed the need or popularity of forums. They used to be the go-to place for tech knowledge and plugging in to see what's buzzing in internet culture.

Has WindowsForum considered trying other socials like Discord or updating the forum?

Thanks!

We have a Discord that we have considered "going live" with but we still haven't thrown "the switch". Basically we have a way to ... potentially sync the forums and Discord together. However if you want an invite to the Discord right now visit.... Join the WindowsForum.com Discord Server!

I guess "the forum" is a niche place on the internet now?
