I think it's true that forums are overshadowed by mainstream social media. As such, they have way less users. However, as strange as this may sound, I think that, in a way, that makes them superior to platforms like Facebook, Twitter... A smaller community means people can get to know each other better and have more meaningful conversations. Thanks to this advantage that forums have over other platforms, I don't think they will die anytime soon. It's true that they aren't that popular, but it doesn't take too many users to keep a forum alive. Sinisterly is an excellent example of that.

Couldn't have said it better. Depending who you ask, we've been dying for almost 10 years.
