Why do people use forums less?

[concertsrule]

real answer is scrolling and speed of conversation. theres probably something about how forums usually feel a little more intimate so people would feel bad about being mean and we all know that the modern internet is mostly rage bait. but to be fair i could just think that forums are more intimate BECAUSE of how small they usually are and bc i hardly ever used them before their decline.
joke answer is that everyone is stupid and not cool enough to realize that this is where the party's at!!
