As the Internet has evolved, discussion forums have become the primary way like-minded people come together to share their passion and their interests.

I've actually talked to people that thought "Blogs" would replace discussion forums, then Twitter, then Facebook, then YouTube, then Instagram, and on and on and on...

But none of these offer what a forum offers and that is,


Organization
Longevity
Full size pictures
Video Content
Functionality
User friendly interface
Long text articles
Established interface - Most "good" forums run vBulletin, so once you're comfortable on one forum, joining and interacting on other forums is easy...



There's other reasons I'm sure but these are just a few off the top of my head...

Yep... discussion forums have become the primary way like-minded people come together to share their passion and interests....


I don't see them being replaced with any other type of interface anytime soon, it's just too efficient for what we need it to do.


See you on the forum...

Agreed Mike! I'm not on FB, Twitter or anything else, forums are the way I interact and just don't see the need for FB when it comes to something like AG, everything I need is right here. I'm the only person in our group of friends whom isn't on FB and I could care less too!
