Running a forum sucks. Why would you do that when your community is better served by other tools?

Running a Discord of any size sucks too, to be fair. I run a small (<1000) Discord related to hacking of a video game engine, and even the amount of drama that my server has encountered is sometimes quite unnerving. I plan on expanding it with a forum and/or a wiki in the coming months, because Discord is unsuitable for long term preservation of content. I consider Discord a more modern version of IRC, in a practical sense. Great for real-time communication, bad for long-form content and long-term preservation.

Sucks for admins but great for users. I guess they just want to pass on the suckage to the end user.
