But most forums these days are shitty compared to what we had a decade or longer ago, when it comes to being accessible and searchable. If we were using classical forums everywhere, I might agree, but with the new JS-only crop of forums, I feel delighted, when a community has an active mailing list instead. And chats don't really serve information archival or storage functions well. Especially not proprietary ones like Discord. Maybe some like Zulip, if there is some extension or so, to make content well searchable from a search engine. But that is still only a maybe. PRs and issue trackers, yes, yes, but only if you got capable people moderating them, not people who think, that employing a github bot to auto close issues is a good idea, when questions remain unanswered. Also one cannot paste GPL licensed code on Github issues any longer with a good conscience, because of code laundering by MS. So that is also no good solution any longer.
