But lately I've noticed a lack of these forums in search results. It used to be in the good ol' days you would search for a topic and some forum would discuss it at length, with hundreds of comments, and then the topic got locked as the issue was resolved.

I still see forums in search results, but they're mostly old-timer forums which have sufficient funding and a credible userbase, and are staying regardless.

Did social media absorb these forums? Did messenger apps absorb them? Did Discord absorb them? Did Reddit absorb them?
