Good riddance to wasted resources. Not that they'll be put to better use though.

It's not like they had to do anything to maintain it.

Gamers now have discord though. lol

I personally like forums better than reddit & especially Discord.

The atmosphere of Discord is just so plain & dark......makes me depressed......

I warmed up to reddit, but forums have always had better social interaction imo.

Beth Softworks shutdown their Fallout & Skyrim forums, the salt was real......Liked those "Show your character" threads.

It sounds like you are haging out with the wrong crowds, which isn't discord's fault.

Unless you're referring to the actual interface color... in which case, if you want it to be light, you can certainly do that in the settings. But most people these days seem to find dark mode easier to read.

Discord is ok for certain things, it does not compare to a proper forum if you want to have a discussion or good argument.

Discord is too spammy, it's too condensed and I feel like I'm playing fortnite or something with all the kids spamming stupid ass emotes.

I have a few good arguments on Discord but it's not the same experience, you can't come back hours later and carry on what you were on about. There are about 100 replies since then and the time has passed.

Discord now actually has forum features as well, can make separate threads in channels, hence for more focused discussions.

Discord actually has a forum feature that some servers use, as well as a thread feature that lets you branch off a discussion without clogging up the main chat channel. On good servers people actually use this stuff and it makes things a lot nicer.

This is entirely a matter of the company you choose to keep. You can make your own discord servers and invite people you want to chat with and avoid all of this kind of stuff easily. You are in total control of your experience with how feature-rich it is.

you can't come back hours later and carry on what you were on about.

You aboslutely can. Both with the forum channel feature, and in any chat channel- Use the search function to call up something someone said earlier and simply reply to it pick back up a past conversation.

Everything you've talked about here is entirely addressable and fixable with the massive amount of customization Discord offers. It can really be whatever you want it to be.

Voice chat, IRC style chat, forum threads, channels for images, channels for whatever you want, when you set up a server you can decide who has permission to do anything, like using emotes and reactions, posting images, or whatever else. You have absolute total control over a server you create and you can make it into anything you want with just a bit of know-how.

Meanwhile these forums were designed ages ago and SE hasn't even kept it on the latest version.

The forum feature is just an inferior version of this though.

Discord is at its best when it's either friends having a communal chat area, is extremely well managed or you run the thing and so it's best for you, other than that I think a forum is better.

Most of the people who post on here would never be in the same Discord.

This is like when you find out a TV show is being cancelled, but you thought it was already cancelled a decade ago.
