I just read this very interesting article about online forums and discord and wanted to know y'alls opinions on forums and things along the line. I think they're interesting but slowly dying.

RE: How do you feel about forums?

i think forums definitely have one foot in the grave, just take this forum for example, it belongs to one of the biggest gaming servers on all of discord and yet look how inactive it is..... i dont think ive seen an interesting post in over a month and even the ones that are interesting usually only have a handful of members who comment anything

You're right dude. Now we've example. Look at this forum.. its almost in grave.
This forum have more than 80000 members but only 10 or 15 members are most active in a day, rest of all is inactive.
Nowadays gamers were more likely to join discord servers and see our server is also active. if we compare with this forum.
Tbh, This forum needs lot of changes. Its not much more attractive today. We are doing our best to keep this forum alive, but its also the job of staff to keep it active. They can keep this active by investing their time. Despite just looking at that person who is breaching the rules. I understand this is the responsibility of staff to keep us safe but making this site active is also comes under responsibility of staff.

80000 isn't less amount for me. Its a huge. We need to try some new techniques to keep this site active and that technique which also attract members of SmG.
I hope new version of SmG brings something really exciting and joyful which makes everyone happy and love to make posts.

RE: How do you feel about forums?

The issue that I see with forums is the lack of cohesion amongst its members. Back when forums used to only be at most a couple hundred people, those people used to be very close knit and would work to play together on more occasions. It seems nowadays that the only posts that come about are from new members wanting to go to full member, which essentially doesn't mean anything anymore.

I feel there needs to be an increase in member only competition, and friendly scrimming in games that a lot of people own, or an increased focus on member competitive groups. Having this large of a community means absolutely nothing if no one is interacting with one another.

RE: How do you feel about forums?

Tbh forums can be good if the members among it just starts contacting more within each other, without interaction forums are dry as hell. talking abt ours for example
          Be selfish with you, be unavailable, be productive, be money motivated,
                be a goal getting, be independent, be low key.

RE: How do you feel about forums?

With things like Discord and what not, Forums are starting to die out slowly but surely.

They were definitely a stepping stone for the future though as this was the only way you could fit an entire community and discuss with them back in the day.
