It goes a very long way in keeping alive no matter the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at gaming niche, it's something that's very interesting in a way that even though the social media sites are getting dominant by the day, it's still surviving.

It's a pity that forums are lacking behind social medias. The reason why, is that, at social media you have freedom to talk about anything you like. But here on forums you strictly need to adhere to the niche selection not the site and post according to guidelines. So, some persons don't like that, that's why they simply stay with social medias. I love forums than social medias, because I learn alot being with forums than social media platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't discover forums back then, it was recently I discovered that forums exist. It was simply a nice feeling now, because I love where I'm learning and improving my life than where I'm discussing with less knowledge gained.

It's more engaging for me on forums than on social media sites. I find it that users on social media sites are too disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this feeling that it's because most new social media network that comes out depends highly on videos and it's not something that's necessarily possible on forums.

This is actually spot on with what's given the use of social media sites am edge with forums. Those videos are a big mud on our faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, forums are also video friendly. Because most of the videos we post here are compatible with the forum that's why it embeds them right whenever we post them.

Look now how Tik Tok and Snap chat are used, forums can't be used in the same way. Do you understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand? I understand, many people are simply in for those social media platforms because they have freedom to share all kinds of rubbish, but here on forums we abide by rules, we learn, we put into action and not coming to display even NSFW posts, like, adult contents, which is mainly used in social media platforms.

Exactly, now you get the point of what I was trying to stress so much. Other new social media network, anything goes and no one would caution or penalize you but it's not the same thing in forums.
