Hacker News, Reddit, Quora, mailing lists, google hangouts, irc, slack or discord channels.
They're still around. They're smaller... and by being smaller they are more useful.
What Stack Overflow killed off was Experts Exchange and a smattering of forums. Some are still around, but they're not trying to be searchable. Reddit's /r/javahelp or Code Ranch - every time there's a question its posted as a new question. Few people go back to find old posts there, but then that's the way the community works... and it works because it is so much smaller than Stack Overflow.
