From the perspective of the average user:

- Forums are easy for search engines to index : don’t care

- Old threads on forums are easily discoverable : don’t care

- Forums have good threading in general : don’t care

- Individual forums are completely independent of each other (if one goes down, the others don't care) : don’t care

- It's easy to have completely different identities on different forums : don’t care

And this is why discord won. :)

This is the tragedy. People who don't want to put with this nonsense are being dragged into it because the communities of products they use live there.
