discord suck so bad and I also have no idea why all the kids love it, i guess it's network effect.

I really spent time on it. It's terrible software. Pure bloat.

Probably because Discord is not just chat; it's sharing and hosting images, video, audio, files... IRC can't do that.

What's the problem with forums (bulletin-board systems)?

They're not instant-messaging platforms. Though it's true that Discord often gets misused as a permanent knowledge-base (where a forum would be much better)
