Forums can and do go down or get deleted, there’s nothing inherent to it that makes it stay any longer then discord messages.
I’ll keep banging this drum for those who still don’t get it, the problem is DISOVERABILITY. Discord does not make conversations in their version of forums or threads accessible to outside users and that is actually where it goes wrong. Nothing about real time discussion limits indexability its simply how discord decided to go and to your point, people want everything in one place so they use the convenience provided by discord.

You’re comparing apples to vegetables here. Sure, forums can go down, but not all of them do. Take Reddit, it’s been around a long time and many people use it for troubleshooting. As for discoverability, a lot of the time when I do a web search for a problem, it points to one or more discussions on Reddit. And that’s just one example.

I’m clearly talking about discord with the discovery point, and that is exactly what I’m saying lmao.
Also a bit of a stretch to call reddit a forum, it is similar but not the same.
