We're doing a forum squish sometime soon, that'll reduce the number of individual forums down to relatively few (<10).

I agree that conversation in general has shifted to discord, but I disagree that 'forums are dead'. I think it's generally a bad thing for the internet as conversations move away from public forums to private, decentralized, conversation hubs like discord. They serve a different purpose, there is no way to keep contextual or long standing information in a discord.

We agree that the forums here aren't as alive as we'd like, and agree that cutting down on the number of places to choose where to talk will help. Also live updating, and things like that :)
