Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

Forums are alive and well when looking for car info. Whenever I get a different car I look for communities with the most activity and that is usually a forum.

The one exception I can think of (proving the post to be true) is the first generation Tundra (2000-2007). The FB group had more current news than the forums and I managed to get banned (first time ever).

HiFi folks and coffee folks have active forums outside of reddit and discord.
