I went, and looked at some of the forums I went to when I was younger that were very active, and they are ghost towns now. However there are still forums that are going strong like bb.com,ign,and tff. Ive noticed the forums that are still doing well are very broad. For example ign is focused on all sorts of video games rather than just an xbox forum. Bodybuilding.com is focused on bodybuilding instead of something like a marathon running forum. tff is focused on entrepreneurship rather than an import/export forum or whatever niche you can pull from it.
These forums that were very niche are dead, and the broader ones are doing well. Are forums dead, and on their way out though? It seems like people are getting all the info they need from other people on social media, and message boards that have everything in one place like reddit.
Instead of people searching for info on their own they can now rely on mavins who will sift through all the clutter of information, and then update people on information that they deem inportant.
If this is the case then what is the future?
Im wanting to add a forum to my website that is very broad, but even then the forum could be on its way out.
Should I work on creating a forum, or do you think it would be more effective to create/curate content other people will share rather than relying on user generated content that forums are made up of?
