    Issue with what you are saying is that I have seen a crap ton of software ( Foss software too ) using discord forums / discord I’m general as their “knowledge base” making it quite hard to find solutions for problems or ask questions, where in the past you’d be using a forum for.

      Forums in the past always needed an account (with its own registration, accepting rules and so on) before you could ask your question. Hell, a lot of forums barely showed anything besides 2-3 topics and you needed to be logged in to see all areas (sometimes with extra user roles if you wanted to see more).
