The focus shifted from forums to sites like facebook, instagram and so on. In my opinion, forums are the best way to share info and find what you need because they can be organized extremely well. Other sites like instagram or tiktok mostly serve to see who can collect more likes which is just a show off competition if you ask me. Plus, I often see pointless discussions there with lots of false information. Sometimes those discussions even lead to fighting in the comments. I've never seen stuff like that on the forums, at least not those I regularly visit like GMIC.
