It would be interesting to see some estimated data on traffic to forums as a general category of the internet. Cool to see that so many are still active.

- johng 2y agoThis is interesting. Reddit is now searched for as much as Facebook... forum and forums don't make much of a blip comparatively. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=forums,reddit,forum,facebook&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=f...
- rightbyte 2y agoPeople use search to lookup the tld. I don't think the trend show anything for the generic term 'forum'.
- johng 2y agoIf you remove FB and Reddit from the list you can definitely see a larger number of queries for "forum" over "forums" on the trends. It's not a lot of traffic but it's significantly higher for "forum".
- ErikBjare 2y agoIf you're searching for the extremely generic term "forum" I can only assume you are doing dictionary lookup? Would be more interesting to compare searches for the names of several forums (not just FB and reddit) and see how the category has evolved over time.
