Simply adding "forum" onto the search query has worked pretty well for me.

Of course, when I am aware of a specific forum which exists for that topic, site:... works well too.

Same, if I am done reading reddit discussions I will just switch to 'forum' and occasionally stumble into some forum threads. Most are dead now though!

I wonder how much more active would forum websites be today if Google hadn't shut down the discussion search mode.

I used to frequently add vbulletin onto searches about 10 years ago.
