I miss forums too, I used to run two medium sized ones (1million posts+) a decade ago which slowly died out with the explosion of social media. I think Google+ groups was an attempt on that concept but failed because the rest of the network was a ghost town. Some Facebook groups are very targeted and feel like forums but they miss the content persistence we had with forums e.g if I remembered something I saw a month ago on a group there's no way I can find it again.
