It depends on what you mean by forum. Yeah, a lot of subject-based forums are being "redditified", and other switched to the real-time Slack/Discord model. Also, I see a lot of community-based products, where forums are just a component (example : outverse [0] ). But I don't think simple forums platforms are (or never will be) out of vogue. There may even a be lack of diversity right now. --- PS Actually. I always wanted a forum with a UI like Hacker News or Radiohead Message board [1]. I like that bare and outlined design. Does a similar OSS forum exist? [0] https://www.outverse.com/ https://www.outverse.com/ [1] http://msgboard.radiohead.com/ http://msgboard.radiohead.com/
