What this has to do with technical merits of this discussion?

If everyone starts to hate classic forums, then they'll naturally move to something else. There does not seem to be the problem at the moment.  Only benefits really. All homework kids go to stackoverflow.

Again, give us examples of big technical forums on Discourse. I personally don't actually think it will scale that well. I would love to be proven wrong.

Elastic and Cloudflare are on similar scale (for activity, at least, not quite so much content yet). The rest are all tiny.

Your magical wappalyzer is causing you to conflate views from search engines with actual users.

Elastic has a lot of new topics, but most seem to have 0 replies. This probably correlates with the popularity of the product. They all look like drive-by posting. The same person will never return back.

And the only people that seem to respond are actual employees, so it is again a just a support forum.

I would really like to see a generic community-run forum. Not a forum for a product.

Perhaps so, I only skimmed the stats.

Interestingly he neglected to mention one site from his magical wappalyzer which is actually an active community: https://community.home-assistant.io/
At over a thousand posts a day across the last 30 days, it's genuinely quite active. A lot of it is support requests (then again, what are electronics questions?), but it's a fairly active project with a lot happening.

Are there any threaded forums? IMO that's one thing that would massively improve a web forum, but it would have to be the default view to make everyone use it. The ones I've seen on the web have universally been rubbish, even very good ones using an OLR are rubbish when they hit the web.
